The board of the Amsterdam School of the Arts has appointed the television programmer and writer Bart Römer (54) as director of the Netherlands Film and Television Academy. He will take over from Renate Litjens, who is interim director of the Film Academy, on 1 September 2012. Since 2009 Römer has been network manager of Nederland 2, the channel for art, culture and in-depth programmes of the public broadcasting corporation.
The history of the AHK covers some 140 years, when the predecessors of the Theatre School, the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and the Academy of Fine Art in Education were established. In 2012 we celebrate that 25 years ago, the study programmes in the field of arts and culture in Amsterdam were joined in the Amsterdam School of the Arts.
