HAU – main location for the Talent Campus events

The Berlinale Talent Campus is an initiative for talented future filmmakers and was first established in 2002 by Berlinale-director Dieter Kosslick. His goal for the Talent Campus was to assist up-and-coming filmmakers in the film industry. Every year for five days during the Berlinale, the Talent Campus gives 350 participants from all five continents the chance to take part in workshops and discussions as well as to learn from professional film directors.

Since 2003, the idea of the Talent Campus has expanded on international grounds. These Campus International editions share the same structure as the original German Campus, supported by their regional film partners. Today, the Berlinale Talent Campus can count three additional partners to their international program: Kiev (Ukraine,) Cape Town (South Africa) and Delhi (India).
