Inke Van Loocke, Head of IFFR Pro, has announced that she will be leaving the festival in September 2024.

“It’s been a huge privilege seeing films come to life from synopsis to screen and to support the whole ecosystem around it. It is truly one of the best jobs in the world on many levels. I’m grateful for all the experience, and trust instilled in me over the years.”

In between, she worked in production at the festival, moving to the industry department where she coordinated and later managed the co-production market CineMart, as well as managing the Rotterdam Lab producer training workshop, championing IFFR internationally at industry events across the world.
