Berlinale: Wieland Speck Takes on New Responsibilities and Hands Over His Position as Head of Panorama after 25 Years<\/p>\n

Wieland Speck, until now head of the Berlinale\u2019s Panorama section, will in the future be contributing his extensive range of expertise on film to the Berlinale as Consultant of the Official Programme. Starting in 1982, Wieland Speck joined forces with Manfred Salzgeber to build up Panorama (an autonomous section as of 1980, known as \u201cInfo-Schau\u201d until 1985) and made its programme one of the most prestigious in arthouse film.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wieland Speck took over as head of Panorama in 1992. Over the past 25 years he has continually enhanced and fine-tuned the section\u2019s profile as well as brought international recognition to the Teddy Award. Launched with Manfred Salzgeber in 1987, it was the world\u2019s first and, to this day, most important film prize for queer cinema. Speck has curated more than 1800 promising cinematic productions \u2013 fiction films, documentary works and short films – and offered them to the public, press and industry for political debate and cinematographic experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank Wieland from the bottom of my heart for the fantastic job he has done with Panorama. He established a platform for ambitious independent cinema, and successfully positioned it on the international market. I\u2019m especially pleased that he will now be assisting us with his expertise and experience, and programming the Panorama\u2019s 40th jubilee in 2019,\u201d says Festival Director Dieter Kosslick.<\/p>\n

Dieter Kosslick has appointed a new team to run Panorama – headed by Paz L\u00e1zaro. Together with Michael St\u00fctz and Andreas Struck she will curate the Panorama programme.
\nAll three have worked alongside Wieland Speck for years. Paz L\u00e1zaro became programme manager of Panorama in 2006. Michael St\u00fctz, to date responsible for programme coordination, will \u2013 in addition to coordinating the Teddy Award \u2013 now contribute to shaping the section as programme manager and curator. Andreas Struck, programme advisor at Panorama as of 2006, will now be responsible – alongside his curatorial tasks – for editorial work and communicating the Panorama programme.<\/p>\n
