DISCOVER NEw TALENT


This is what is extremely important about what Berlinale Talents is doing making introductions, bridging gaps, not only between cultures, but between established and emerging lmmakers.

Since 2003, the Berlin International Film Festival has focused on a new filmmaking generation from around the world, annually inviting 300 Talents to the festival. By inventing the Berlinale Talent Campus, we were one of the first festivals in the global circuit to establish a platform and meeting point for international up-and-coming filmmakers. The Campus has become an important turning point in the careers of over 4,772 young professionals from all continents and fields of film mak ing. Year after year we have adjusted our programme to fit the needs and developments of this young filmmaking generation. And year after year this young film generation becomes more visible at the Berlinale, returning with films in tow and mingling with the festival guests. And thats what it's all about: the ideas and spirit of emerging filmmakers from around the world defines Berlinale Talents. Eleven years ago, at the first edition of the Berlinale Talent Campus try to remember the filmmaking world back in 2003! The digital
Berlinale Talents 2014

revolution was only just gathering speed. The Digital Cinema Initiative was just founded by the major US studios, the vast majority of films were still shot and edited on analogue systems, and marketing and communication tools like Facebook didnt even exist yet. Keeping abreast with these developments in the digital world and working out their advantages for independent filmmaking was an important topic for the eager and young film professionals. Needless to say, the Berlinale Talent Campus was very busy chasing after the advancing and ground-breaking transformations in the film business on many levels. For example, in 2003 we had Wim Wenders mentoring the first Talent Movie of the Week a workshop which allowed young filmmakers to try using digital production and postproduction equipment to produce short films during the Campus week. In the more lecture-based programme of the first years, Lord of the Rings cinematographer Andrew Lesnie talked about Pixel and

Grain, and Michael Ballhaus discussed celluloid film and digital technology as emerging partners. In the early Campus years, the digital future became increasingly present, and fulfilled the par ti ci pants constantly emer ging needs. But in the end, we always return to the essence of making a good film, an essence as analogue as it can be: the art of storytelling. The range of experts who have joined the Campus over the years is amazing, and offered countless moments of magic recalling the unforgettable tumult around Shah Rukh Khan, the spontaneous Talent chat with Frances McDormand, the vibrant duo talk by Christopher Doyle and Anthony Dod Mantle or the charming on-stage-rendezvous with Isabella Rossellini. We cannot thank all these great artists enough for their commitment. They all come to Berlinale Talents, not to lecture the participants, but to exchange and share experiences with them. Thats why the Campus has never been, and never intended to be a film school. Here, during the Berlin International Film Festival, young and experienced professionals meet and talk at eye level with one another. In this manner, todays structure of four Project Labs, six Studio programmes and the Talent Press programme, all alongside the Summit events, has developed in the course of the past eleven years. In 2014, we completed this structure by initiating the Production Design Studio and the Distribution Studio. The heart of our initiative is formed by the promising filmmakers and their projects, and we cordially invite you to discover them, the 2014 Berlinale Talents. Meet them at the Berlinale Talents Market Hub, a new project we set up together with Canon at the European Film Market. Or get an impression of their current projects at the Project Presentation Day that will take place on February 12 at the House of Representatives. Visit us here and you will see: its not a campus anymore, its more of a playground for film creatives. Our 2014 motto, Ready to Play? Breaking the Rules is central to what Berlinale Talents is about. And we are con stantly getting impressive results: every year, numerous films that were developed at one of the project labs, enter the spotlight of international festivals. Ritesh Batras The Lunchbox (Talent Project Market 2012), Haifaa Al Mansours Wadjda (Script Station 2009) and Neus Balls The Plague (Doc Station 2011) are just three examples of alumni films that successfully attracted audiences worldwide in 2013. Besides that, every year a considerable number of former partici pants enrich the official selection of the Berlin International Film Festival. Take this year: all in all, the Berlinale will present 62 films made with the major involvement of 79 former Berlinale Talents, among

them Dietrich and Anna Brggemanns Stations of the Cross and Yann Dem anges 71 in the Berlinale Competition, as well as Daniel Ribeiros 2010 Script Station project The Way He Looks in the Panorama. Having future digital film developments in focus, prominent film makers as mentors, and a hands-on approach all that will remain im portant aspects of our initiative. By renaming it, were simply chan nell ing the attention to its very core: the Berlinale Talents, be it in Berlin or at the offshoots in Buenos Aires, Durban, Guadalajara, Sara jevo and Tokyo. Fostering and refining a world-reaching project like this in its 12th year, is only possible due to a great lineup of partners whose tireless support forms the backbone of our efforts. So thank you very much to all our sponsors, and particularly, to our principle partners, the MEDIA Training Programme of the European Union, the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, and Canon, for their remarkable commitment. And last but not least: thank you to the Federal Foreign Office (Auswrtiges Amt) and to the German Federal Film Board (FFA) for their constant support. But now, get ready to play and discover the Berlinale Talents pro gramme during an exciting week at the HAU Hebbel am Ufer.

Investing in emerging talented European professionals is essential for the competitiveness of the European audiovisual industries. Thus, the increasing of skills and competences and knowledge sharing through peer-to-peer cooperation and networking activities represents a core objective of Creative Europe MEDIA Training. More than 2,000 European professionals are trained every year through more than 60 MEDIA funded training initiatives, where they have the opportunity to learn from their peers, receive guidance and fine-tune their projects with experienced tutors, explore the use of digital technologies and expand their network of contacts at an international level.
MEDIA is proud of supporting the flagship programme Berlinale Talents, as we strive for the

same goals: training professionals, fostering projects, connecting people across Europe and internationally.
SarI VartIaInen

Head of the MEDIA Unit Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency

Creative Europe MEDIA also offers young filmmakers support for project development, Euro pean distribution, networking and access to international key markets and co-production forums.

Shooting films in the Arab world can be an exciting task for young filmmakers, especially during times of political and social change. The importance of staying flexible is something our German-Lebanese team experienced during their work in Lebanon last summer, when facing the danger caused by the civil war in neighbouring Syria. Our German-Egyptian team learned the necessity of patience, while they waited months for travel and shooting permits for Gaza. With establishing international cooperation we want to enable young filmmakers from Germany and the Arab world to get used to certain circumstances and to explore the per spective, the methods, and the creative styles of partners from other countries. Our Film Prize includes support at international film festivals, co-production markets and the orga nization of film education projects in Germany and the Arab world in cooperation with our partners, the Royal Film Commission Jordan and the Dubai International Film Festival. The cooperation with, and the support of Berlinale Talents was crucial for us since the very start of our Film Prize for International Cooperation in 2004. In the beginning, our main focus was on young filmmakers from Germany and Eastern Europe only. In recent years, we extended our activities and became one of the main partners of Berlinale Talents. At the same time, we changed our focus from Eastern Europe to young filmmakers from the Arab world. We are very happy that many former participants of Berlinale Talents managed to be nominated for our Film Prize, which includes three categories: animation, documentary, and short fiction. The award ceremony will take place on Sunday, Feb 9 at the HAU Hebbel am Ufer, and it will be our pleasure to welcome you all for this occasion. Enjoy your stay at Berlinale Talents, build up partnerships and return with your finished films one day! To learn more about our Film Prize, visit our website: www.filmprize.de

Fresh into its second decade, the Berlinale event formerly known as the Talent Campus has engineered a new twist to an already wonderful success story. Practicing what it is preaching, the Berlinales hothouse talent-connecter breaks the rules, relights the fire and re-launches under a brand new label: Berlinale Talents. If you are ready to play, as this years motto sug gestively asks, then so are they: the Berlinale Talents scheme is offering hands-on workshops, selected access to training and debate, insights and sometimes even inroads into the European Film Market via the film-stations and, to everyones delight, the overwhelmingly popular Dine & Shine supper-speed-dating event. Now that is what we like to call work! The Medienboard has been supporting the Berlinale Talents scheme ever since its inaugurational season in 2003, so obviously we are happy and proud to offer our support again this year. We wish all attending filmmakers an engaging, eventful and exciting time in Berlin, a city never completed and as such a playful rulebreaker by heart.

ReaDy tO Play? BreakIng the rUleS


It was a great experience to meet participants from all over the world I still remember this amazing feeling of having hundreds of gigabytes running through my brain, and having the clear vision how I wanted to make my lm.
Kaspars Goba, Latvia | Berlinale Talents 2007

We dont stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing, Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw once stated. Even though play is the primary formative element in human culture, in an industry that often plays by the rules of the game, it is sometimes hard to approach the filmmaking process in a fresh and playful way. Themed Ready to Play? Breaking the Rules, Berlinale Talents encourages its 300 participating filmmakers to experiment with unusual ways of bringing their stories and characters to life on screen. Reinventing the rules for storytelling and highlighting playful approaches to character development, are central to this years focus. Award-winning screenwriters and filmmakers join to discuss their unique approach. Denis Ct (Vic and Flo Saw a Bear) and Aida Begi (Children of Sarajevo), as well as Golden Bear-winning director Claudia Llosa (The Milk of Sorrow), and renowned screenwriters Rzvan Rdulescu (Childs Pose) and Tony Grisoni (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) will discuss their working process of building compelling stories that become successful films. High-quality television series will be dis cussed by producer Martha De Laurentiis (Hannibal ) and Oscarwinning director Neil Jordan (The Borgias). But its not only good scripts that contribute to a compelling cinematic story, preeminent Oscar-winning sound designer Eugene Gearty (Hugo) and Silver Bear-winning filmmaker Peter Strickland (Berberian Sound Studio) will share their ex pe rience with expanding storytelling by adding a care fully designed soundscape to films. Extending the theme to filmmakers approach to social topics, the programme includes a session that looks at stories that reveal societal codes and rules, often through exceptional characters who question or overturn them,

as seen in the panelists films, like Haifaa Al Mansours Wadjda, Marie Kas The Other Woman and Umut Das Cracks in Concrete. Another panel looks at how filmmakers break formal rules and breach boundaries between genres, in a focus on hybrid films. Filmmakers Warwick Thornton (The Darkside), Corneliu Porumboiu (The Second Game), and Sophie Hyde (52 Tuesdays) will discuss the bene f its to using both documentary and narrative stra tegies. In yet another context, acclaimed German film makers Christian Petzold, Benjamin Heisenberg and Maren Ade, re pre senting the internationally renowned Berlin School, will reflect on their work and its reception in Germany and abroad. Productive alumni of Berlinale Talents will join throughout the programme, including for the session Help! I Made A Successful Film, featuring filmmakers who have made their first sensational, award-winning festival hit. Berlinale Talents alumni Ritesh Batra (The Lunchbox), Anthony Chen (Ilo Ilo), as well as Jan-Ole Gerster (Oh Boy) will join. The programme will feature several sessions in which creating images for the big screen will play a central role. Internationally celebrated French cinematographer Agns Godard, a longtime collaborator of Claire Denis (Beau Travail ), will show her work and speak with Berlinale Talents about her creative working methods. Daily digital cinematography workshops will take place in the Playbox powered by Canon, where reputed directors of photography Christ opher Doyle (In the Mood for Love) and Franz Lustig (How I Live Now) are joined by digital cinematography expert Stefan Ciupek (Antichrist) to share with a selected group of Talents their approach to working with a variety of directors and camera formats, and how they made choices to define the visuals of films.

Manfred Durniok, German producer, filmmaker, writer and photographer was drawn to distant lands, yet it was Asia that captured his imagination. The Manfred Durniok Foundation, founded by the late filmmakers daughter, Ayano Teramoto, is a non-profit organisation established in 2006 to support and promote cultural exchanges between Germany and Asia through scholarships, awarding prizes and providing financial support for intercultural gatherings. Berlinale Talents decisive international perspective and interest in cross-cultural dialogues makes for a fruitful collaboration. Intercultural awareness is a re-current theme in the films that Durniok made and produced, and it is this spirit that the foundation hopes to continue. The Manfred Durniok Foundation once again supports Talents from South East Asia attending the 12th edition of Berlinale Talents by covering their travel costs, as they have since 2007. Meet fellow East Asian Talents at the Manfred Durniok Foundations reception on February 9 from 12:30 until 14:00 at Kaffeehaus at Museum of Communication Berlin (by invitation only).

The Film Prize of the Robert Bosch Stiftung competition is open to joint production teams of emerging filmmakers from an Arab country (one of the 22 member states of the Arab League) and Germany. The categories quali fy ing for the prizes are animated film, docu mentary and short fiction film, with each winning production receiving up to 60,000 Euros in funding. The three Film Prizes will be handed over at the award ceremony at Berli nale Talents on Feb 9, 17:00 in HAU1.

Former participants about the Summer School:

I was happy that the program was so intense. I left with concrete results and the bonus of having met some likeminded documentary filmmakers from around the world. The schedule and program were perfectly in balance. Because the workshop lasted a whole week, we had the chance to meet with our tutor several days in a row, which made it possible to dig much deeper into the project. The group proved to be a great mix of lovely people who never get tired of discussing options and dilemmas, either in the Summer School sessions or over a drink.

Seasoned distributors, sales agents, audience designers and producers share their insights into the multifaceted world of film distribution in Distribution Studio sessions. Distribution Studio aims to encourage distributors, producers and directors to consider their audience and marketing strategy as early as possible in the film production process. Distribution Studio offers the chance for distributors to take part in a collaborative exploration of the current possibilities in film distribution in various parts of the world. By using case studies, connecting to the

European Film Market, and actively meeting filmmakers working on new film projects, emerging distributors will expand their network and be exposed to new, interesting projects. Distribution Studio offers emerging distributors the chance to work with high-profile experts, to meet fellow distributors and to benefit from each others experiences and from the input given during the studio programme.

Were all fascinated by the new worlds that sci-fi and fantasy films like Gravity and Inception draw us into, but how are these world conceived, designed and created? The USC I 5D Institute in Los Angeles is a center for world building experts, including founder, production designer Alex McDowell who is renowned for films including Minority Report and Fight Club. The stories of films such as these are created as an invitation for people to surpass the boundaries of the known and enter a new world. Production Design Studio invites experts to share how the advancement of technological possibilities, and creative and collaborative methods have allowed them to redefine what is possible for narrative media and storytelling. World Building expert from the USC I 5D Institute in Los Angeles, and production designer Patrick Hanenberger (2012), Ed Cookson, project director of the London 2012 Olympics and Para lympic Games digital content and Tawny Schlieski from Intel Labs discuss their creative

approach to design and work with Talents to explore new perspec tives and methods through interdisciplinary and non-linear processes using the latest digital tools. Production Design Studio offers the chance for production designers and an interdisciplinary group of Talents to take part in a collaborative World Building exploration. They will use new inception and devel opment processes to prototype, capture and manufacture the ima gination to approach the future of storytelling. At the core of the studio sessions, the Talents will have the opportunity to re-examine the creative process itself, to discover and develop new ways of seeing, thinking, iterating and collaborating. Production Design Studio is a cooperation with USC I 5D Institute, Los Angeles.
