will step down from the role in November, after serving the maximum 10 years permissible in the position, as a Governor and Chair, under the BFI Royal Charter.
Berger has been on the BFI Board from 2011 and became Chair in 2016. He also serves as president and managing director for Warner Bros. Entertainment U.K., Ireland and Spain. “In the world in which we find ourselves the BFI is more important than ever. The BFI is a champion of British film, is the guardian of the nation’s film and television heritage and has put diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything it does — and is driving this across our industry. During this pandemic, film culture has proved itself more important than ever to our lives.”
BFI CEO Ben Roberts said: “In the months since my appointment as chief executive and during one of the most challenging periods in the BFI’s history, Josh has led the board with great determination and offered myself and the Executive team enormous support and counsel. There will be many opportunities to do so in the coming months, but as the search for a new Chair commences, I would like to express my gratitude for his leadership and wisdom.
