How are the five international offshoots of Berlinale Talents in Guadalajara, Buenos Aires, Durban,

Sarajevo and Tokyo integrating the changes - will you be cooperating more closely now?
With regards to content, a closer relationship than in previous years is hardly possible. The international
editions are of course independently run, that's always been important to us. But as far as content goes
we've cooperated closely from the beginning, supported and inspired each other mutually, and maintained
the brand name together. It's just that this shared brand wasn't often communicated outwardly, not least due
to the fact that the public image for each edition was an independent graphic creation. From now on, the
new common logo will help make it more visible that all six editions grew from one initiative, with common
goals, concepts and ideas. Drawing that connection was important to us.
-MWK: The Summit is the Berlinale Talents public programme that takes place on all stages of the HAU
Hebbel am Ufer theatre. It's made up of Master Classes and Panel Discussions with experts and guests that
are either at the Berlinale with a film, or who come exclusively for Berlinale Talents. Besides masters of
international film art and experienced professionals, these also include alumni, former Berlinale Talents.
During detailed discussions, all of them can introduce their projects, report on their experiences and give the
audience the opportunity for an intense exchange. The Summit is open to everyone - from paying
audiences, to accredited Berlinale visitors, to the 300 Talents. That's what sets it apart from the Studios,
Project Labs and Talent Press, whose participants are specifically selected and to which the Talents apply
beforehand.
CT: The Talents apply to the four Project Labs (Talent Project Market, Doc Station, Script Station and Short
Film Station) with a film "in development". We select 40 creatives with their projects beforehand and offer
them targeted programmes during the Berlinale Talents week. For example, the Talent Project Market is part
of the Berlinale Co-Production Market, where the director or producer can present a project to international
financiers. The participants in the Short Film, Doc and Script Stations get high-quality feedback on their
developed work by experts, and present those projects to international film industry representatives by the
end of the week - on Project Presentation Day.
