Great to Meet You

All participants should be eager to report on films screened at the Berlin International Film Festival and on events held during Berlinale Talents.



What We Will Offer You

Talent Press offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet and spend a week with 300 talented film creatives from all over the world and to experience the day-to-day buzz of a prestigious festival. You will be guided through the Talent Press programme and and receive feedback on your work by internationally renowned mentors and experts. According to your chosen topic for the essay, you have the opportunity to access film screenings, make interviews and take part in all masterclasses and other events of Berlinale Talents. Your work will be published and promoted on the websites of Berlinale Talents, Goethe-Institut and FIPRESCI. Berlinale Talents offers you free accommodation in Berlin during the time of the event. Furthermore, Berlinale Talents will cover a share of your travel expenses (depending on your country of origin).

In addition to the Talent Press workshops, Berlinale Talents offers a programme of around 60 master classes, roundtables and interactive panel discussions per year. Film professionals from the Berlinale, the European Film Market and many other experts of international reputation and from various backgrounds give insights into their work and enter into a direct dialogue with the audience.
