It’s the second film-fest shakeup in two weeks: Peter Scarlet, artistic director of the Tribeca Film Festival, exited that position on Friday, according to a story in The Hollywood Reporter.
The move came just two months before the festival’s start, and a week after Sundance Film Festival Director Geoffrey Gilmore left that fest to accept a position as chief creative officer with Tribeca fest owner Tribeca Enterprises.
Official word is that Gilmore will not be involved in programming duties. The lineup for this year’s edition of the Tribeca Film Fest, April 22-May 3, will be announced on March 9.
