Foundation History
The impact of the sudden death of actress Katrin Cartlidge saw the creation of the Katrin Cartlidge Foundation by trustees Mike Leigh, Peter Gevisser, Simon McBurney, Chris Simon and Cat Villiers. Patrons include Lars von Trier and Cartlidge's sister Michelle. Established at the Sarajevo Film Festival, an annual bursary is awarded by "an elected curator, chosen by the (Foundation) Trustees from a wide and eclectic number of Katrin Cartlidge’s friends and colleagues… (to) a new creative voice… While the new talent nominated each year will be a filmmaker, it is anticipated that the choices will be as varied and extraordinary as Katrin’s own choice of filmmakers and friends from across the arts."
