Call for Entries – Berlinale Talent Campus
hey guys,
I am at the Pusan film festival and my friend from the Berlinale, Dorothee Wenner asked to post this. There isn’t much time (the last date for application is the 8th Oct)but anybody who has a project that you have been dreaming of doing should apply ASAP! She says just apply now and then you can get some more time for writing the project ;)
Talent campus
“The Berlinale Talent Campus 2009 focuses on Turning Points, and will address the theme: “Suddenly, It All Happened – The Turning Point In Close-Up”. Storytelling is one of the central aspects of successful filmmaking and is as old as humanity itself. Stories have always connected people to their culture. It is a communication medium used to influence others, to seduce, convince or even manipulate them. It can explain certain things or keep people and events from fading in our memories. Successful films and compelling stories thrive on turning points, events that give a plot a new and critical direction. These turning points can make the film experience unique and overwhelming. However they are not only responsible for shaping a successful plot development, they also play a central part on other levels of filmmaking. Whether actor, cinematographer, editor or composer – everyone will face a turning point in the creative process and deal with its aftermath. The Berlinale Talent Campus, which for some participants is a turning point in their career, will focus in 2009 on turning points as a driving force in filmmaking and will illuminate every facet of the fascinating effect they can have.
The application deadline for the Berlinale Talent Campus is October 8, 2008. Producers, directors, actors, cinematographers, screenwriters, editors, production designers, film music composers, sound designers, film journalists and visual artists from all over the world are invited to apply online through the Campus website, www.berlinale-talentcampus.de

Thanks for the info.
Was applying to the Berlinale Talent Campus, and got a message mid-process that applications have closed. Even if the “last date” means that Oct. 8 is already too late, it’s still Oct. 7 even in Germany. Is this a fluke? Or are they full-up?
Evelyn…that message was due to an error in their server as it just said ‘entries closed for talent campus # 6′ while the latest applications are for “talent campus # 7″.
Try again..the site was acting funny yesterday…today it’s fine. (though only a few hours left now).
VarunGrover, thanks! I will try again.
This is a great incentive for young film makers all over. I hope this continues every year.
