01 | introduction

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 that’s 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

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 didn‘t 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 post-production 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

“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 filmmakers.” Mozhan Marnò, USA | Berlinale Talents 2013

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. That’s 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, today’s 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: it’s not a campus anymore, it’s 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 Batra’s The Lunchbox (Talent Project Market 2012), Haifaa Al Mansour’s Wadjda (Script Station 2009) and Neus Ballús’ 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 Brüggemann’s Stations of the Cross and Yann Dem ange’s ’71 in the Berlinale Competition, as well as Daniel Ribeiro’s 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, we‘re 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 (Auswärtiges 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.

cREATiVE EuRopE – MEDiA TRAiNiNgSARi VARTiAiNEN

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.

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.

RobERT boScH STifTuNgDR. iNgRiD HAMM

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

Words of Welcome

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 Berlinale’s 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 year’s 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 everyone’s 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.

CanonjaCCo leurs

Canon is proud to continue as a partner of Berlinale Talents. Creativity has been at the heart of Canon’s product lineup since its inception over 70 years ago. Since its launch in 1987, the core principals of the EOS system have always been high quality image and ease of use. The success of the EOS 5D Mark II in helping creative filmmakers to tell their stories was a stepping stone to the creation of something revolutionary. In 2011 we launched the Cinema EOS System as dedicated tools for creative storytellers, with the objective of expanding the possibili - t ies of creative expression. Since then the Cinema EOS products have established themselves as tools that filmmakers across the globe want to use.

Helping new generations of filmmakers to emerge and express their vision is a thrilling chall-enge for us to take up. We are constantly striving to provide visual storytellers with the equipment they want to use to convey their creative vision.

Canon and Berlinale Talents can help you take the next steps in your creative journey.

“We don’t 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 year‘s focus. Awardwinning screenwriters and filmmakers join to discuss their unique approach. Denis Côté (Vic and Flo Saw a Bear) and Aida Begić (Children of Sarajevo), as well as Golden Bearwinning director Claudia Llosa (The Milk of Sorrow), and renowned screenwriters Răzvan Rădulescu (Child‘s Pose) and Tony Grisoni (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) will discuss their working process of building compelling stories that become successful films. Highquality television series will be dis cussed by producer Martha De Laurentiis (Hannibal) and Oscar®winning director Neil Jordan (The Borgias). But it‘s not only good scripts that contribute to a compelling cinematic story, preeminent Oscar®winning sound designer Eugene Gearty (Hugo) and Silver Bearwinning 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 Mansour‘s Wadjda, Marie Ka‘s The Other Woman and Umut Dağ‘s Cracks in Concrete. Another panel looks at how filmmak ers break formal rules and breach boundaries between genres, in a focus on hybrid films. Filmmakers Warwick Thornton (The Darkside), Corneliu Porumboiu (The Sec ond Game), and Sophie Hyde (52 Tuesdays) will discuss the bene fits 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, awardwinning festival hit. Berlinale Talents alumni Ritesh Batra (The Lunchbox), Anthony Chen (Ilo Ilo), as well as JanOle 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 Agnès Godard, a longtime collaborator of Claire Denis (Beau Travail), will show her work and speak with Berlinale Talents about her creative working methods. Daily digi tal 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 filmmaker’s daughter, Ayano Teramoto, is a nonprofit 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 crosscultural dialogues makes for a fruitful collaboration. Intercultural awareness is a recurrent 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 Foundation‘s reception on February 9 from 12:30 until 14:00 at Kaffeehaus at Museum of Communication Berlin (by invitation only).

Encouraging collaboration and fostering mutual development among producers and filmmakers in Germany and the Arab world is one of the ambitions of the Robert Bosch Stiftung. The Film Prize of the Robert Bosch Stiftung for International Cooperation offers crossregional support and has profoundly impacted the production of awardwinning films which have screened internationally at festivals. Berlinale Talents participants from the past years have benefited from the coll aboration with the Stiftung and have often gained support from these prizes. 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. Up to two members of each winning team will have the opportunity to participate as guest in Berlinale Talents in the following year.

The 7th edition of Talents Durban looks to bring filmmakers together from across the continent to draw inspiration from Africa’s long tradition of storytelling. Breaking away from the stereotypical andhomogeneous narratives of Africa, this year’s Talents Durban aims to highlight that this continent is home to a myriad of cultures, colours, and stories.

This subject opens up windows to explore two different directions: on one hand it serves as an allegory for the con so li dation of filmmakers and film critics in the industry, and on the other hand, it is a case study of family stories in LatinAmerican mov ies, where filmmakers show the reality of their countries with stories that feature families as a portrait of various cultures.

14:00–15:30 | HaU3, top Floor

Michel Reilhac, Mahyad Tousi. Moderated by Liz Rosenthal.Until recently, storytellers were limited to the distribution formats of TV, cinema, theatre and print. When developing stories, product and format came first, user experience and au-dience came second. Today, audience ex pec-tation is rapidly evolving. As aud i ences shift effortlessly between one new platform and

device to the next, they are also more actively engaged in the stories that in t erest them – demanding experiences that are social, in te r-active and adaptable to the media spaces they inhabit. With this exciting but often daunting new palette of tools, how can we design cross-media experiences that remain relevant and accessible in this connected world? Michel Reilhac and Mahyad Tousi, two leading figures in innova tive approaches to story design, will share their approach to developing stories without boundaries.

What can the film industry learn from these innovative tactics? Pioneers from various parts of the European cultural sector, including Yoel Gamzou, one of the youngest conductors in the world and head of the International Mahler Orchestra, Victoria Broackes, curator of the “David Bowie Is…“ exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Mu s-e um in London, and Annemie Vanackere, artistic director of the multidisciplinary and successful Hebbel Theatre (HAU) in Berlin,

Through the guidance and advice of in dustry experts and experienced consultants, Talents will be prepared for their meetings and supplement their knowledge with insights about the international film market. Exchanging with their peer participants, Talents will also gain from the valuable networking op p ortunity to forge life-long professional relationships and to share project ideas and experien - c es. The ten selected projects compete for two prizes.

Doc Station is a rare opportunity for documentary filmmakers to think critically about their concepts and to further develop their project‘s core. This intensive week of training and mentoring will bring in val u-able support and advice to these filmmakers who are at a crucial point in their creative process. Inviting ten burgeoning filmmakers and their documentary projects to Berlin, Doc Station supports and pushes these films, all at different stages, to evolve to the next level through the guidance of documentary experts. The programme begins with a project development day with mentors – independent producer and author, Merle Kröger, and ZDF/ARTE commissioning editor Kathrin Brinkmann. This will be followed by individual meetings with mentors and group work before the public Project Presentation Day.

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

The burgeoning film critics who are invited to participate in Talent Press have the opportunity to engage with an international film festi-val with the rigor required of professionals. Producing articles on assignment, and with daily deadlines, these eight critics will share their reflections on Berlinale films with their peers at Berlinale Talents and with cinephiles worldwide via online outlets. With an official press pass, participants are encouraged to see much of what the festival has to offer, working daily in the editorial office, polishing their articles, and discussing films with their editors – the mentors, who are all professional critics also on assignment at the Berlinale. The critic mentors are Chris Fujiwara, film critic and artistic director of the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Dana Linssen, Dutch film critic for “NRC Handelsblad“ and editor-in-chief of “De Film krant“, Derek Malcolm, longtime critic for “The Guardian“, now writing for the
