Wow, Thank you Markus for forwarding this! And this part sounds good, but we shall see if gender equity allows 50/50 Leadership?

Hisamatsu is out (maybe not such a big loss)

Ichiyama is in (this is fantastic)

Ichiyama has stepped down from Filmex (while staying on the board) and the dates will be concurrent with TIFF (moving both to something akin to Berlin).

Interesting! I think this is a big deal.
