Berlinale Talents 2021: February 13–18, 2021
Berlinale 2021: February 11–21, 2021
Every year, Talent Press invites eight film critics and journalists to explore the festival's many offerings and sharpen their critical tools in our editorial office, where they write and finesse articles with their mentors. Participants work on an in-depth essay, to be published in an outlet of their choice, and are encouraged to compose reviews in a variety of formats, meet international programmers and share their insights with cinephiles worldwide. Recent editions of Talent Press have featured encounters with distinguished guests such as Berlinale Artistic Director Carlo Chatrian, Time magazine's Stephanie Zacharek and Justin Chang from the Los Angeles Times.
Apply by September 1, 2020, 12:00 noon (CEST)

If you decide to apply, you'll be asked to submit three articles from the past year. Our workshops are held in English, so you should feel confident conversing and publishing in English.
