Thuringia: Long-time director Nicola Jones leaves "Golden Spatz"

Erfurt (dpa/th) - The long-time director of the Goldener Spatz children's media foundation will be handing over the management and management of the festival in February 2023. The pre-selection of the films in competition for next year's festival from June 4th to 10th in Gera and Erfurt will be carried out by Nicola Jones together with the selection committee, said Jones. "I have enjoyed and enjoyed the management of the foundation as well as the direction of the festival for the past six years," said Jones, who has served as director since 2016. The time at the "Golden Spatz" was "exciting, successful, but also challenging - especially during the corona pandemic". But now she is turning to "new professional challenges".

Jones led the foundation and the German children's media festival "Goldener Spatz" intelligently and innovatively through a time marked by crises, said the Chair of the Executive Committee, Anke Lindemann. Who will take over the management from February 2023 remained open. The position was advertised, it said.
