THE National Film and Sound Archive is searching internationally for a new CEO after the resignation of Michael Loebenstein.
NFSA Chair, Gabrielle Trainor says: “Michael has led the NFSA during a time when we have made a giant leap forward towards our goal to become leader in the digital environment, and an engaging place for encounters with our amazing and diverse film and sound history.
“His time with us was marked by a significant reinvention of the NFSA into a more outwardly focussed, collaborative institution which continues to collect, preserve, and more broadly share our film and sound treasures.”
Loebenstein produced digitalised versions of classic films such as “Storm Boy” and “Proof” and artistic collaborations with musicians like Gotye.
Loebenstein says: “It has been a privilege to have been CEO of the NFSA. Awareness of what we do has not been higher since the legendary Last Film Search of the 1980s. I am proud of our achievements and grateful to the fantastic team of professionals at the NFSA, and for the support of a committed and engaged Board.”
