New York Film Festival Promotes Veteran Operations Exec Matt Bolish To Managing Director, Reveals Dates For This Fall’s 61st Edition

deadline.com:

Matt Bolish, who has been a staff member of Film at Lincoln Center since 2011, has been promoted to the newly created position of managing director of the New York Film Festival.

In his new post, Bolish will team with artistic director Dennis Lim, who oversees programming and curation, to produce the event.

The move addresses a staffing void left by Eugene Hernandez, who departed last year as NYFF executive director after a 12-year run at FLC to become director of the Sundance Film Festival.

Along with the executive news, FLC said the 61st edition of the festival will be held from September 29 to October 15. Bolish had been VP of operations at FLC, the festival’s presenting organization, and also had served as producer of NYFF since 2016.
