The Katrin Cartlidge Foundation was charitable foundation established in memory of actress Katrin Cartlidge, who died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2002, at the age of 41. Through the foundation, and as referenced to the Sarajevo Film Festival, support was provided to emerging filmmakers.

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 was awarded by "an elected curator, chosen by the (Foundation) Trustees were 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 was a filmmaker, the choices were as varied and extraordinary as Katrin’s own choice of filmmakers and friends from across the arts."[1]
