MIFF apoints general manager
The Melbourne International Film Festival has appointed Petrina Dorrington as the festival general manager.
Dorrington has been MIFF’s interim general manager since February, and will be responsible for the administration of the festival.
“In the last few months Petrina has proven herself an outstanding manager with excellent business development skills. We are confident that she will be a great asset to the festival and to its staff,” said chair of the board, Claire Dobbin, in a statement to the press.
Dorrington will participate in the selection of the Artistic Director, which will be announced after the 2010 festival.
She was CEO of the Inland Queensland Tourism and Development Board and the Melbourne-based not-for-profit Kids Under Cover.
