Berlinale World Cinema Fund Appoints Sata Cissokho as New Chief, Vincenzo Bugno Exits

The Berlinale has made a significant move by appointing Sata Cissokho as the new head of its World Cinema Fund and Toolbox program, following the exit of Vincenzo Bugno. This appointment is crucial as the World Cinema Fund plays a vital role in supporting theatrical projects that might not otherwise see the light of day, particularly films from Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Pacific. Cissokho's experience in acquisitions at Paradise City Sales positions him well to enhance the fund's mission and impact.
