Welcome to the second episode of a 3-part special on the 2024 International Film Festival of Rotterdam.

Host Nadine attended the film festival as a journalist and media maker this year. This series was recorded on site and shares three highlights from the dynamic festival.

Tamara Tatishvili is the Head of the Hubert Bals Fund at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Previously, Tamara worked for several years as Director of the Georgian National Film Center and the Head of Studies at MEDICI: a training and exchange forum for senior decision makers of international public film funds. She is a strategy consultant, leader, producer and programmer. Since 1988, the curatorial fund Hubert Bals Fund has supported groundbreaking film projects in every stage of the production process, working especially with filmmakers from countries where local film funding and infrastructure is lacking or restrictive.
