Amanda Palmer stepped down from her role as executive director of Doha Tribeca Film Festival last week. The 36-year-old is gearing up to launch her own talent agency and production company in Qatar.
Doha Tribeca Film Festival took the GCC by storm and attracted huge audiences both on site and with its social media activities. Palmer is said to have been hugely instrumental to the success of the festival.
Speaking about Palmers contribution to the festival, Sheikha Al Mayassa Bint Hamad Al-Thani, chairperson of Doha Film Institute (DFI) said: Amanda played an instrumental role in growing DTFF and positioning DFI as a recognised film entity over the past three years. Under her leadership, DFI has established many successful relationships with key industry professionals and other international organisations which we will continue to build on.
Amanda has made an extraordinary personal contribution to the organisation since 2010 and we are proud of what DFI has achieved in this short time. On behalf of DFI, I would like to thank Amanda for all her dedication and wish her well in her future endeavours.
A replacement for Palmer has not been announced yet although the next edition of DTFF is scheduled to take place in October.
