Furrer has served as a Venice Days programmer since its inception, and most recently as head of programming. She will be working closely with Renata Santoro (new head of programming), Mazzino Montinari, Cédric Succivalli and Andrei Tănăsescu.
Last year’s lineup included new movies from Rithy Panh, Jayro Bustamante, Dominik Moll and Jan Komasa, whose Corpus Christi went on to be Oscar-nominated.
