ISFiT-23 has elected a president

Håtveit wants to focus on polarization as a global issue, that is not just political, but also manifests as economic polarization, gender polarization, political polarization and generation polarization.

— We are more polarized than we have ever been, how does this affect us? Do we need polarization? This may be the most prominent challenge we face today, and I believe Isfit is the right platform, Håtveit said in the introductory round.

Håtveit said she will prioritize the volunteers and their ownership of the festival.

— As a volunteer this year, I felt like I didn’t discover that many projects. This became very noticeable when it went digital. Showing these projects and making them visible for both students and volunteers will be a priority.

In addition to Håtveit, Melchior Blum ran for the presidency.
