Welcome
For Berlin’s cinema-going public, Berlinale Talents has lots
to offer. In various summit events, the public can enrich
the festival experience by following panel discussions and
presentations by the Berlinale’s most exciting names.
In this latest edition, Berlinale Talents stays true to
its core mission to bring 300 of the best emerging
film professionals from across the globe to Berlin
to network, attend summit events and develop
their pro­­jects with access to a line-up of worldclass experts.
Berlinale Talents aims to raise questions that ad­
dress the developments of an industry that is in
constant flux. Every year cultural and technologi­cal
developments change the stakes of film production, exhibition and viewership. The programme is
a direct response to this dynamism, insofar that it
Berlinale Talents 2015
equips filmmakers with the tools to identify and
cope with today’s most pressing questions.
We want to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank
you to all those who support Berlinale Talents, and
in particular to our principle and co-partners: Creative Europe MEDIA, a programme of the European
Union, the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the Medienboard
Berlin-Brandenburg, Canon, Federal Foreign Office
and the German Film Fund.
We are thrilled to celebrate this 2015 edition with you,
our 300 Talents and Berlin’s cin­e­ma-loving public!

PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS
Berlinale Talents
Sunday, February 8
Cracking open and reconfiguring notions of spa­t­
iality will be high on everybody’s agenda this year.
Members of the Berlinale International Jury take
the stage at the first public master class on Sunday,
February 8 at HAU1, only a stone’s toss away from
Potsdamer Platz, to kick off a series of events in
which this theme will frequently recur. In this opening session Golden Bear winner Claudia Llosa (The
Milk of Sorrow) will describe how her films echo
from very specific local and indigenous cultural
spaces, and star director Darren Aronofsky (Black
Swan) will comment on how his protagonists activate the dramatic spaces in his films, for instance
through dance.
Monday, February 9
The Place for Space: HAU Hebbel am Ufer (HAU1)
2015: A Space Discovery
Film gives motion to space and can also put spaces into motion.
At Berlinale Talents, over 140 experts on space and cinema including
Andreas Dresen, Ursula Meier, Joshua Oppenheimer, Joanna Hogg,
The Yes Men, Wim Wenders and Bong Joon-Ho embark on an
expanding six-day voyage of discovery.
Most of today‘s movie screens are still flat surfaces, but within them
open a cinematic universe of infinite dimensions and depths. This
year’s edition of Berlinale Talents focuses on the theme “2015: A Space
Discovery.” Technically and aesthetically, cinematic space is continually being reinvented, just as daily living spaces are tangibly being
transformed by political and economic upheavals. With their roots
firmly planted in their own local contexts, filmmakers are not lost in
space and navigate across borders and in multiple dimensions.

Berlinale Talents 2015
Drama series writer, director and producer Matthew
Weiner (Mad Men) leads a master class on how to
create stories as catchy as good ad campaigns and
characters as deep as the bottom of Don Dra­p­er’s
glass of whisky. Later that day lauded director Ursula Meier, known for her films Home and Sister, joins
Talents to grant further insights into working with
professional and nonprofessional actors of all ages.
Acclaimed DoP Peter Zeitlinger (Queen of the Desert) sheds light on his multiple collaborations with
directors including Werner Herzog and Ulrich Seidl.
Discussions on hybrid narrative spaces are honed
in two cross media panels welcoming back, among
others, Finnish director Timo Vuorensola who talks
about Iron Sky Universe, the latest sequel of the
sci-fi cult hit from Berlinale 2012.
Tuesday, February 10
Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy-winning com­
poser Howard Shore (Maps to the Stars, Lord of the
Rings and Hobbit trilogies) will elaborate on how
sound and score shape the visual worlds in which
Berlinale Talents 2015
unforgettable stories unfold. The power of documentary to look back into history’s darkest episodes and create cinematic spaces of personal
remembrance will be discussed by two celebrated
documentary filmmakers, Joshua Oppenheimer
(The Look of Silence) and Marcel Ophüls (The Mem­
ory of Justice).
Movie screens open a universe of in­finite
dimensions and depths. Filmmakers are
the creators of such spaces.
Wednesday, February 11
Legendary German auteur Wim Wenders (Every
Thing Will Be Fine) takes the stage in a joint event
with the Deutsche Kinemathek to recount his ill­u­
strious career. How guerrilla filmmaking, armed
with the weapons of humor, can document the
hacking of both public and private spaces with
politi­cal aims will be discussed by director Laura
Nix (The Yes Men Are Revolting) and the activist duo
The Yes Men. Film choreographer Francesca Jaynes
and puppeteer Mikey Brett, both having worked
with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity, will tackle how actors create
mov­e­ment in spaces beyond all limits.
Thursday, February 12
On the final day of Berlinale Talents, in a discussion
about films crossing borders, esteemed South Korean director Bong Joon-Ho (Snowpiercer) follows
films from their local birthplaces to internatio­nal
audiences. As We Were Dreaming director Andreas
Dresen, screenwriter Wolfgang Kohlhaase as well
as best­­­­selling author Clemens Meyer explore the
short period when space seemed unlimited, 25
years ago in eastern Germany and in their latest
film to be discovered in the festival.

Berlinale Talents is for many filmmakers the lusty first date that
blooms into a long-term and deepening relationship with the Berli­na­
le. Hailing this year from 75 countries, Talents continually bring their
fresh homegrown visions and singular stories back to Berlin’s aud­i­
ences. Many discover their future filmmaking partners at Berlinale
Talents and return to the festival in tag-team fashion, with multiple
alumni attached to a single film. In this 65th edition of the festival,
86 Berlinale Talents alumni with 62 films return in major creative roles
on films that are screening in the official programme of the various
festival sections. Go team Talents!

and Robert Bosch Stiftung.
The past decade has witnessed a boom in film­
making in the Arab world, which has in turn seen a
marked return to the local art house cinema as a
space of viewership, meet­ing and cultural exchange
for local audiences. Noted distributors and exhi­bi­­t­ors from Beirut, Cairo and Berlin will explore not
only how local cinemas are reemerging as bustling
hubs of alternative culture, but it also will examine
difficul­t­ies faced by distributors and filmmak­ers as
they try to transfer Arab culture to spaces outside
of the Arab world.

Susan Korda.
“Good editing is like good sex,” exclaims noted editor and director Susan Korda (One of Us), and in this
master class she proves just how. Through selec­ted
clips from Bonnie & Clyde, Jaws, Se7en, Alien 3 and
For All Mankind, Korda demonstrates the multi­
faceted tech­niques used to merge sound, image
and tim­ing to bring about the intended cinematic
experience. She‘ll lay bare the secrets of the editing
room and the editor’s tricks to make a film work. To
“kill your darlings,” or the critical ability to surrender
preconceived notions and petty preferences and
select the material that best allows your story to
un­fold, is a primary focus of the session.
Walter Salles, Sebastian Schipper.
In cooperation with Berlinale Panorama.
”You simply cannot anticipate what you will find
on the road,“ says Walter Salles in his ’Notes for a
Theory of the Road Movie.‘ This panel brings together two filmmakers whose literally ”moving“ films
can exemplify the best of what cinema can offer.
Salles (On the Road), widely known for sending his
characters off to discover their inner selves on long
and winding trips, meets up with German director
Sebastian Schipper. Schipper’s film Victoria is an
exceptional entry in the official Berlinale Com­pe­
tition, as the movie sticks hard on the heels of

Andersson, meet to talk about Stefan‘s latest project, The Dark Side of the Moon. They will discuss the
var­i­ety of technical pitfalls and disasters that can
happen on such a big budget production. In this
intimate session, Ciupek will focus on the changing
role of digital image technicians as digital workflows
evolve to create new responsibilities both in preproduction and on set. Other topics will include the
technical challenges of camera and lens choice, quality control and look creation, the grading of rushes
and the calibration of displays.
Legendary drama series writer, director and pro­
ducer Matthew Weiner (Mad Men) has brought us
stories that are catchy as good ad campaigns and
characters as deep as the bottom of Don Draper’s

ional Jury, Weiner will share his rich experiences

Forum and Berlinale NATIVe.
Documentaries are becoming increasingly popular
and are reaching wider audiences via new online
platforms and in the cinema. Along with the new
diversity of platforms, we are witnessing the emergence of hybrid formats that not only borrow from
fiction but also from journalism. This panel brings
together three Berlinale Talents alumni, noted Ni­­­g­­erian film critic and journalist Shaibu Husseini,
Japanese filmmaker Atsushi Funahashi (Nuclear
Nation II) and Marcelo Martinessi from Paraguay
(Man of the North) to consider their approaches to
create stories both for the news and documentary
work. Questions of access to knowledge, freedom
of speech and press and the tricky issue of truth will
be tackled from their dif­f­erent perspectives.
Sean Coleman, Liz Rosenthal.
In cooperation with Medienboard BerlinBrandenburg.
Interactive storytelling experiences and games are
often considered as secondary in the development
of traditional media pro­ducts, as part of marketing
not part of the core story. Liz Rosenthal, CEO and
founder of Power to the Pixel, and writer and producer Sean Coleman (Netwars) will explore how
cross media approaches and new forms of interactive media can be used more efficiently to incubate
new stories and projects for today’s connected
audiences. Whether for a feature film, a TV series or
a new media project, a strategic cross-platform approach to story development and rapid prototyp­­ing of your idea will help develop your project and
audience simultaneously.

Marcel Ophüls, Joshua Oppenheimer.
In cooperation with the Federal Foreign Office.
How is it possible to look back into history, expose
inconvenient truth and revive the personal memories of those who have been part of it? Lauded di­­r­ec­tor Joshua Oppenheimer (The Look of Silence)
joins documentary film virtuoso Marcel Ophüls (The
Memory of Justice) for an in-depth discussion on
the expressions of remembrance, performance and
memory in their films. The two acclaimed docu­mentarians will address the search for truth in the
aftermath of history’s darkest episodes, as well as
how they create and preserve cinematic spaces in
their films that ensure dignity and respect for the
protagonists and their often traumatic experiences.
Ursula Meier. In cooperation with
Berlinale Generation.
Children don’t play by the logics and rules of the
adult world, and provoking performances from
young protagonists in film requires directorial skill.
Through her highly acclaimed films, director Ursula
Meier is known for her ability to create story worlds
truly eye-to-eye with protagonists of all ages. Presenting clips from Kacey Mottet Klein, Birth of an
Actor as well as excerpts from Home and Sister,
Meier grants insight into her intimate work on set
and the strong relation she has built up with young
actor Kacey Mottet Klein and other professional and
non-professional actors.

Peter Zeitlinger. In cooperation with Canon.
Acclaimed DoP Peter Zeitlinger is a longtime collaborator of Werner Herzog and Ulrich Seidl, contributing his visual genius to the style of their singular
films. Zeitlinger stands for a cinematography with­
out compromises, and his sharp and at the same
time poetic approach to visual storytelling has yield­
­ed the dazzling and diverse looks e.g. for the 3D film
Cave of Forgotten Dreams and most recently Queen
of the Desert, screening in Competition this year for
the Golden Bear. A central focus of this in-depth
master class will be how Zeitilinger illuminates
cinematic spaces through cinematography, from
the most diverse of natural landscapes to the dark­
est spaces of mankind.

elaborate on how sound and score shape the visual
onscreen cinematic world and the spaces in which
stories unfold. His experience scoring multiple films
with aut­­­eur directors sheds light on the working
re­la­tionship between director and composer, as well
as how sound and music can create a ”meta space“
between the works of a trilogy or a director’s oeuvre.
Room for Emotions:
Embodying Architecture in Film
17:00–18:30 | HAU2
Joanna Hogg, Matthias Sauerbruch.
In the films of Joanna Hogg, relationships and
fam­ily structures play out in and are heavily influenced by architectural spaces and landscapes.
Berlin-based architect Matthias Sauerbruch (Sauerbruch & Hutton) work­ed on the iconic house in
which Hogg’s latest drama, Exhibition, unravels.
Showing excerpts from the film, Hogg and Sauerbruch explore the dialogue bet­ween film and
architect­ure and how living spaces can influence
human behavior or even become a character in a
film. Other topics to be tackled include stylistic de­
vices when shooting and editing interiors, bringing
space into the foreground of narration and how
spatial understandings of architecture can be translated into spatial representation in film.

made their new film, The Yes Men Are Revolting. They
explain how to hack into both public and private
spaces and get footage working with mini­mal tech
and crew. Further they highlight the kinds of preparation and legal clearances that are required when
shooting under the radar with unsuspecting subjects and in uncontrolled settings. This time taking
on climate change and the policies and cor­po­ra­tions that exacerbate the crisis, the film­makers discuss the responsibilities and aims of political and

and media law. This session will address the rights
clearances that are necessary at different steps of
the creative process. Also to be dis­cussed is how to
keep in mind international perspectives and the

experts. Along the long road ”from idea to the

their projects for the better? And how do they
choose the project they want to develop and why?
With regard to an ever-changing industry landscape, how do the responsibilities of producer and
distributor increasingly overlap, and are ”impact

also elaborate on how you can identify the ideal

Wings of Desire and The State of Things. His recent
works Pina, The Salt of the Earth and this year‘s
festival entry Every Thing Will Be Fine cement his
repu­ta­tion as one of the most influential auteur

Physical space is dramatically activated and takes
on scale and dimension by the move­ment of actors‘
bodies within it, and Sandra Bullock’s graceful floating and swimming through space in Alfonso Cua­
rón’s Gravity re­mains one of the most memo­rable
images from last year’s cinema experience. Acting
coach Jean-Louis Rodrigue will share his wide knowledge on body movement in cinematic space. Movement coach Francesca Jaynes and puppeteer
Mikey Brett, both of whom worked with Bullock to
simulate her character’s unfolding ordeal in zero
gravity, refer to choreography and the mechanics
of marionette puppetry to explain how they en­
abled a freedom of movement that would otherwise
not have been possible.

Isona Admetlla, Vincenzo Bugno.
In cooperation with World Cinema Fund.
Innovative forms, fresh perspectives and local stories from across the globe are supported by the
World Cinema Fund. Independent productions
from regions with little access to funding, such as
Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Central and
Southeast Asia and the Caucasus, are its focus.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul‘s Palme d’Or winning
Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives is
one of many successful films supported by the
World Cinema Fund. Isona Admetlla and Vincenzo
Bugno discuss the aims of the initiative, the breadth
of works and regions considered and how film­mak­ers can apply with their projects.
Bong Joon-Ho, Lorna Tee.
Film is truly a universal language and me­d­­i­um,
but that is not to say that there are not daun­t­ing
obstacles to overcome when bring­ing films from
their local birthplaces to in­ternational audiences.
The films of a specific region often convey elements
of the local or regional context: its cultural heritage,
its social and political preoccupations, its genres
and traditions and its ways of communicating and
telling stories. Bong Joon-Ho, South Korean direc­tor of The Host and celebrated lately for his first
English language film Snowpiercer, and renowned
Asian producer Lorna Tee (Postcards from the Zoo)
bring their rich experiences in making films that are
successful for both local and international markets
to this discussion. When developing stories intended to cross the cultural divide, what must be considered at the script level, when choosing production partners, cast and crew and when designing a
distribution and marketing strategy?

In cooperation with Medienboard
Berlin-Brandenburg.
The collapse of the Berlin Wall and the GDR was followed by a brief moment in time in eastern Germany
where space seemed un­li­mited and freedom was
an ideal to be tested and lived to the fullest. These
feelings form the background for As We Were Dream­
ing, the Berlinale Competition entry directed by
Andreas Dresen and adapted for the screen by Wolf­
gang Kohlhaase from the bestselling novel by Clemens Meyer. Repre­senting three generations that
personally experienced this electric time in the East,
Dresen, Kohlhaase and Meyer will describe their
process of adapting from memory to novel to screen
a very loaded historical mo­m­ent that lingers in the
space of imagination of many Germans.
