January 24th 2008 02:56
The Australian Film Institute's chief executive James Hewison has quit just 16 months after taking up the post, The Age reports today.
Hewison is leaving on February 29 to "pursue new opportunities", AFI chairman Morry Schwartz said yesterday. He declined to detail the opportunities, saying Hewison would reveal all "in the fullness of time".
Although he was "slightly surprised" by Hewison leaving the office so soon, Schwartz said his departure was "totally amicable".
Before joining the AFI, Hewison was executive director of the Melbourne International Film Festival from 2001 to 2006.
