The Zurich Film Festival (ZFF) is strengthening its management team: Mehmet Inan will join the Executive Board as Managing Director from March 2026. In this role, he will be responsible for key areas such as marketing, partnerships, events and hospitality and will help shape the festival's strategy.

Inan has many years of experience in media and marketing organisations, including senior positions at major Swiss and international media companies. He has been associated with the ZFF since its beginnings and is now playing a decisive role in its further development.

Inan's appointment is accompanied by a reorganisation within the management team: the previous Operations Director is leaving the position, while other managers are refocusing their areas of responsibility in order to support the festival's processes and growth.

With this personnel decision, the ZFF is strategically positioning itself more strongly in the international film business for the coming years and is relying on Inan's experience to further expand the festival's visibility and economic stability.
