László Kriston, professional festival devotee, interviews Jane Scboettle, festival powerhouse. With formal responsibility for our region, she discusses the fate of Australian and NZ films at TIFF 203, her attitude to premieres, and her selection process, all on the last day of the festival.
This was Jane Schoettle’s 10th year selecting films for TIFF. Over that time, she has grown into an influential programmer who is responsible for the American indie scene, Israel, and Australia and New Zealand, which she took over from Noah Cowen.
