Fran García-Huidobro has stepped down from her position on the FDB jury after serving less than two months in the role. Her departure was confirmed this Monday, marking a brief tenure on the evaluation panel.
Regarding her decision, García-Huidobro used informal language to explain her withdrawal from the panel. "I'm moving on to a different schedule," the juror told the media.
A brief stint on the panel
García-Huidobro's departure comes just weeks after her official appointment. Her time with the organization did not last through the full evaluation cycle for the competing categories.
No specific technical details have been released regarding the underlying reasons for her resignation, other than her intention to pursue other personal or professional commitments. Her brief time with the FDB leaves a vacancy in this year's selection process.
Festival organizers have not yet announced who will take over her duties to complete the expert panel. An official statement regarding the jury's restructuring is expected in the coming hours.
