The news of Christine Tröstrum’s passing brings great sadness to the Durban FilmMart Institute and the global film community. Christine was an influential figure, a warm and kind hearted person who was passionate about developing leaders in the industry. She is one of the initiators of the umbrella brand Berlin Film Residencies which is supported by the Berlinale as cooperation partner and several Talents International programmes such as Talents Durban (South Africa), Talents Beirut, Talents Guadalajara (Mexico), Talents Tokyo (Japan) and Talents Sarajevo, initiatives realised through cooperations of Berlinale Talents and other film festivals. Just recently Christine was part of a group of experts who worked with the DFMI to develop a mentorship programme where her contributions were significantly impactful. She led with a strong passion to nurture talent. Christine was a dear friend and colleague to the DFMI team. We will miss her. We send our deepest condolences to family, friends and the entire film community. Berlinale Talents
