Zsuzsi Bánkuti Appointed Head Of Locarno’s Open DoorsZsuzsi Bánkuti has been appointed as the new head of the Locarno Film Festival’s project and talent incubator Open Doors.
The 20-year industry initiative runs during the festival and supports filmmakers in regions where producing independent movies is particularly challenging.
It has just entered a three-year cycle focused on Latin America and the Caribbean. Bánkuti oversaw the 2022 edition (August 5-9) in an interim capacity following the departure of long-time Open Doors head Sophie Bourdon earlier this year. “I am looking forward to discovering and developing new talents from this amazing and vibrant region and even more to do so in a festival that feels like home,” said Bánkuti.
The industry veteran began her career as head of acquisitions for Cirko Film in Budapest in 2000, before heading to Germany’s The Match Factory in the same role in 2012.
