Tempo Documentary Festival is undergoing a partial leadership change as Ida Thorén has stepped down from her role as festival director. As part of an organizational review, Cecilia Björk will step in as interim festival director until the next edition of the festival.
“During her two years as festival director, Ida has played a key role in Tempo’s development, and we warmly thank her for her deep commitment and significant contributions,” says Jannike Åhlund, Chair of the Tempo Documentary Festival. “Cecilia has extensive experience in the documentary field and has worked with the festival’s international program for the past three years. Her solid background and familiarity with the festival’s core operations make her well-suited to lead the organization forward, alongside Artistic Director Ulrika Bandeira, during this transitional period.”
The board and the organization continue to work on developing sustainable long-term structures for the future. A permanent festival director will be recruited once this review has been completed. The position is expected to be advertised in March 2025. Further information about the recruitment process and the festival’s future plans will be shared at a later date.
