Decision on Tricia Tuttle Postponed After Berlinale Controversy

The decision regarding the future of festival director Tricia Tuttle has been postponed after Wolfram Weimer and the KBB GmbH supervisory board met to discuss the direction of the Berlinale.The leadership crisis followed reports by "Bild" and intense backlash over a speech by Abdallah Al-Khatib that criticized German policy toward Israel.While some officials called for her removal, over 500 festival employees and hundreds of film professionals like Tom Tykwer and Tilda Swinton signed letters supporting Tricia Tuttle.
