The head of the Film Section at the Federal Office of Culture (FOC), Nicolas Bideau, is leaving the film scene. He will take over the management of Presence Switzerland at the beginning of 2011.
Bideau is leaving the management of the Film Section at the Federal Office of Culture FOC at the end of the year. He will take over the management of the Federal Agency Presence Switzerland in the General Secretariat of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs FDFA. In recent years, Bideau has been at odds with well-known exponents of the film industry, the SDA writes in a press release. Although voices of praise have repeatedly been heard in the industry, he has mainly been met with public criticism. Bideau is leaving behind a shambles, said Rolf Schmid, President of the SFP film producers' association, when asked by the SDA news agency on Thursday.
Nicolas Bideau took over the technical and organizational management of the BAK Film Section in autumn 2005 and has been very present in the media ever since. However, his successor would have to communicate better with all those involved. What is needed now is a service provider who works for the industry and not the other way around, said Ivo Kummer, Director of the Solothurn Film Festival.
