Nine years old and going strong: The idea of the Berlinale Talent Campus has lost nothing of its freshness and international attraction. On the contrary, this year nearly 4,000 filmmakers from as many as 141 countries sent in their applications to be part of this worldwide film community. 350 of them were chosen to gather at this year’s Campus to attend the exemplary series of workshops and lectures given by a range of top-notch international film experts.

Back home these up-and-coming filmmakers will profit from the global network the Berlinale Talent Campus is able to provide them with. And we definitely know that – because they come back! Many Campus alumni send us their work, they apply with their films to the Berlinale – that's one of our ways of keeping in touch.

And so, every year the Official Selection of the Berlin Inter-national Film Festival is enriched by films made by Campus alumni. In this manner, the spirit of the Campus swirls permanently within the different sections of the festival. This year is not any different: We are proud to present 35 films made with the major involvement of 38 current or former Talents in the Official Berlinale Selection – among them is OUR GRAND DESPAIR by 2005 alumnus Seyfi Teoman in the Berlinale Competition. This displays the immense potential of the Campus and is the best proof of its growing significance.

But besides networking and learning from Berlinale guests, as well as from other renowned professionals, there is another oppor-tunity offered to the participants of the Berlinale Talent Campus: the chance to position oneself, the chance for self-orientation within a world and an industry full of endless possibilities. As this year’s Campus focus “Framespotting – Filmmakers positioning themselves“ stresses: Every filmmaker has the chance to find an individual frame in which she or he wants to work. Like a camera needs a perspective to shoot a scene, a filmmaker needs a vision from which she or he can tell a story. Positioning oneself is not an easy task; it might demand courageous decisions and a good sense of responsibility. Nevertheless, to develop a strong artistic profile, a clear approach and focus are indispensable. The Berlinale Talent Campus offers support by way of unique pos si -bilities to connect and discuss with people of a similar disposition as well as with industry old hands or creative minds of all kinds.

That the Berlinale Talent Campus was able to position itself over the course of the past nine years as a world-spanning community of young filmmakers is due to a group of true partners who have

tirelessly supported it from the very beginning. First and foremost we extend our gratitude to Bernd Neumann, the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM) as one of our funders. Together with a congratulation on its 20th anniversary, we also sin - c er ely thank the MEDIA Training Programme of the European Union, as well as our founding partner Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg. Another founding partner, UK Film Council / Skillset, has unfortunately not been able to join us anymore – nevertheless, thank you for your backing in the past years! With out the support of all our partners and sponsors we would not be able to create this fascinating frame around the world‘s next filmmaking generation.

i wish everybody an exciting campus week – and we all look forward to seeing you again with your films in the next years!

which evolves and depends on human relations. Even with an array of different events, the Campus is set up to make people meet people: talented young people eager to learn, talented experienced people willing to share.

The mere fact that this is done during the Berlin International Film Festival, makes a huge difference to the opportunities the Berlinale Talent Campus can effectively offer: the huge amount of different curated programmes and events during the Berlinale makes it the perfect place to meet film-loving audiences on every level.

At the end of the day, making films comes down to building trust. In order to find the people you want to work with intensively on new film projects, people who can support you to find and face your audience – meeting them and looking them in the eye is inevitable and necessary to ensure that they share your passion. Filmmaking requires you to commit yourself, to show who you are, to pay attention to details that might seem trivial, but can change people’s attitude and open doors for the future. To be able to join you, people need to know where you stand.

That‘s insofar as real life meeting go. Beyond that, the Berlinale Talent Campus enables you to stay connected more easily afterwards through our online network of almost 4,000 filmmakers around the world. All of them have been at the Campus, quite a few of them have, in the meantime, found their way into the industry. Having a shared experience in Berlin or anywhere in the world makes it easier to reach out, to build new friendships and start collaborations.

And collaboration is what the Campus stands for: we aim to enhance knowledge. Not only by enabling contact between film-makers but also by bringing together people from various disciplines in order to refresh minds and make sure that you’ll have another perspective on routines and procedures you’ve been taught or ex-perienced until now. Our global dynamic is reinforced by the colla bo-rations we have ourselves with Talent Campus programmes in Central and South America, Africa, and Southeastern Europe.

out of 3,967 filmmakers who applied, you have made it to berlin, europe’s creative capital du jour, which hosts the largest audience film festival in the world. that‘s no reason to lean back and relax, but to make the most of it!

Bringing together 350 up-and-coming filmmakers with around 150 film experts in a Kreuzberg theatre in one of Berlin’s most chilly months is something we do every year for a very specific reason. Even though most of us today connect more easily with the rest of the world than ever before, we strongly believe that offering a real-life platform where each attending filmmaker can meet 499 new people in a short time, also makes sense more than ever before.

You’ll see that the Berlinale Talent Campus is a wide-span n-ing event that sets out firstly to talk about the vibrant issues of today’s cinema – not purely to philosophise about them, but also to set things straight and break the often complex filmmaking reality down to human proportions. For us, the film business is a people’s business

“to ensure that creativity of the highest order continues to be available in the future, the berlinale talent campus, brings the most promising up-and-coming filmmakers from all over the world to berlin...“

costas daskalakismedia programme

Continuous training of professionals and talented individuals is essential to reinforce the competitiveness of the European audio-visual industry, a core objective of the MEDIA Programme of the Euro-pean Union. That is why ever since its beginnings in 1991 the MEDIA Programme has devoted a substantial amount of its budget to co-finance training initiatives developed by professionals for pro fess-ionals. More than 1,500 professionals from countries participating in the MEDIA Programme are trained every year through more than 60 MEDIA funded training initiatives where they have the opportunity to acquire new skills, learn from others’ mistakes or successes, fine-tune their projects thanks to experienced tutors, explore new technologies or expand their contact base.

It has therefore been natural for us to be the main financial partner of the Berlinale Talent Campus since the beginning. We strive for the same objectives and values: training professionals, fostering projects, connecting people in Europe and the world.

Apart from training activities, there is a lot more that the MEDIA programme offers to young filmmakers: project development, inter-national distribution, networking and access to key markets and co-production forums in Europe and around the world. This year, the MEDIA programme is celebrating its 20th Birthday so we are especially proud to look back on how much the European film industry has developed over this period, and to stress our continued commitment to supporting the EU film industry in the future. I wish you an exciting Campus week and rich, vibrant coll a borative filmmaking adventures.

bernd neumannFederal government commissioner for culture and the media

The Berlinale, which will take place for the 61st time in 2011, showcases the best of international cinema in Berlin. To ensure that creativity of the highest order continues to be available in the future, the Berlinale Talent Campus, now in its ninth year, brings the most promising up-and-coming filmmakers from all over the world to Berlin to engage them in creative exchange with one another as well as with big names in cinema.

Accordingly, this year’s theme “Framespotting – Filmmakers positioning themselves” is both a challenge and an encourage ment for young filmmakers to find themselves and their place. At the Berlinale Talent Campus, they are incited to examine their approach to personal subjects, interact with new media and cinematic forms, and last but not least, to ask themselves how to create a cinematic future. At the same time, looking beyond national borders broad ens the horizons of the participating young German filmmakers and thus strengthens the German film industry.

As the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, I have once again decided to lend financial support to this unique initiative that is dedicated to artistic exchange, creative sus-tainability and cinematic diversity. I wish all the Campus par ti ci pants and visitors exciting en coun ters full of inspiration, creativity and new visions.

the worldwide campus network is the central feature of the berlinale talent campus website – our online community.

The Berlinale Talent Campus website is not only a great source of information about the current edition, the next application deadline and ongoing programme elements like the Berlin Today Award, it is also continuously updated with news on Campus events around the globe and the current status of alumni projects.

Panels and dis cus-sions with experts such as Isabel Coixet, Stephen Daldry, Claire Denis, Tilda Swinton, Shah Rukh Khan and Wim Wenders can be watched online and are a great way to get information on con tem porary topics, themes or discussions within the industry. As our international net-work is vital to the Campus experience, we introduce this year’s Talents online. Computer stations in HAU 1 and HAU 2 give direct access to this network, where you can browse profiles that show samples of work and filmographies, as well as the opportunity to contact fellow filmmakers directly. The Berlinale Talent Campus community also in-cludes profiles of Campus alumni, including alumni of the Campus International initiatives and a bulletin board where news on festivals, events and calls-for-entry are collected and shared.

“The Talent Campus Guadalajara has created and consolidated a place where emerging filmmakers and worldwide experts can come together: a forum that encourages and reinforces future film productions allowing us to reflect our features; a place of creative exchange and cinematographic collaboration. A country confesses itself through its filmography: if it does not see its culture recreated in the audiovisual media, it loses the possibility of developing and transforming its identity. It is important to establish venues that promote the creative exchange between different cinematographic narratives, focused on highlighting the values and cultural identity of each country, as well as the intercultural relationship among them.“

“Bringing together young professionals and experts around the same topic is our main goal, with the aim of creating a space for exchange both intellectually and professionally. The topic for the Campus 2011, ‘Cinematic forms‘, has been chosen to inspire discussions on how the forms of cinema have changed or resisted throughout its history. The Talent Campus Buenos Aires has become a main event for South American young filmmakers and professionals, providing Talents the opportunity to profit from networking while developing a platform for their own projects. For the second year we motivate them to join the hands-on programmes: the result is an intense and rich debate around the fact of sharing a continent, South America.“

“The first three editions facilitated meaningful exchange between African filmmaking Talents, generating inspiration and opportunities for participants. A powerful affirmation of the contribution of this project in empowering a new generation of filmmakers in Africa is the fact that the 31st Durban International Film Festival in 2010 programmed an unprecedented 13 films from Campus alumni. Problems of access are a big issue in Africa – access to resources, infrastructure, funding and networks. Talent Campus Durban provides a highly valued net-working and skills training opportunity, bringing together about 40 young filmmakers from nearly 20 different countries in Africa, in programmes that address these challenges.“

5th talent campus sarajevo (July 22-28, 2011)mirsad purivatra, talent campus sarajevo

“Our first five-year plan was directed towards creating a proper community out of the new generation of talent in Southeast Europe, introducing the standards it should operate on, raising the bar for the achievements they aim for and finally building a brand out of Talent Campus Sarajevo that can rightfully represent them. The main achievement of Talent Campus Sarajevo must be the annual impact it has on rejuvenating the film industry in our region. An annual, targeted injection of a critical mass of emerging talent into the system helps the in dus-try make its goals and approaches more youth-oriented. The industry now understands this and trusts the Talent Campus Sarajevo to highlight the most promising talent.“

Four international editions of the campus, modelled along the lines of the berlin-based archetype, have taken off abroad:in guadalajara, buenos aires, durban and sarajevo.

Funding matters!

the robert bosch stiftung and the manfred durniok Foundation have been supporting the berlinale talent campus over the past years. their contribution, both financial and conceptual, are invaluable to its success.

WontheCo-ProductionPrizein2010:Katya Suvorova‘s and Stephan Grobe‘s SEATOMORROW

It is not only the Berlinale Talent Campus’ decisive inter - nat i onal perspective and interest in a dialogue that goes beyond poli tical and cultural borders that makes this cooperation a fruitful one. Intercultural awareness is a recurrent theme in the films that Dur niok made and produced; it is that spirit that the foundation hopes to continue.

The Manfred Durniok Foundation once again supports Talents from South East Asia attending the 9th edition of the Berlinale Talent Campus by covering the costs of their travel, as they have since 2007. Meet fellow East Asian Talents at the Manfred Durniok Foundation‘s reception on Feb 13 from 12:30-13:45 in the Kaiser saal (byinvitationonly).

manfred durniok Foundation German producer, filmmaker, photographer and writer

Man fred Durniok was always drawn to distant places. Although a visi tor of many continents, it was Asia that captured his imagination. Con si dered a pioneer who brought Asian cinema to the attention of Western audiences, he promoted and encouraged multicultural encounters and exchanges through film co-productions. The Man-fred Durniok Foundation, founded by the late filmmaker’s daughter, Ayano Teramoto, is a non-profit organisation established in 2006 to support and promote cultural exchanges between Germany and Asia, to grant scholarships, award prizes and to give financial support to intercultural gatherings.

the co-production prize of the robert bosch stiftung Especially interested in Eastern Europe? The core ambition of

the Co-Production Prize of the Robert Bosch Stiftung is to encourage collaboration and foster mutual development between producers and filmmakers in Germany and Eastern Europe. Supporting filmmakers and producers has had a profound impact over the past years: films have been screened all over the world and won awards or were Oscar-nominated. Take German producer Stephan Grobe: he joined the Talent Campus Sarajevo as a guest in 2009 upon learning about the Co-Production Prize. Having applied with Kazakh filmmaker Katya Suvorova, their documentary film project SEATOMORROW won the Co-Production Prize in 2010, and the film THE HOUSEMAID (directed by Anna Hoffmann), which he produced, was screened at the Berlinale Perspektive Deutsches Kino in 2010.

Ideally, film projects supported by the Robert Bosch Stiftung are only the first of many projects between up-and-coming filmmakers from Eastern Europe and Germany. One example is the collaboration between German producer Henning Kamm and Hungarian director Lili Horváth, whose film SUNSTROKE won the Co-Production Prize in 2008 and premiered at the Sarajevo Film Festival; Horváth and Kamm have joined forces again for a feature-length film.

Nominated for the European Film Award was Paul Negoescu’s RENOvATION (produced by 2010 alumnus David Lindner), also a winner in 2008, which premiered at the Berlinale Shorts in 2009 and was shown at numerous festivals in Europe and beyond.

The Robert Bosch Stiftung’s Co-Production Prize competition is open to young filmmakers between 18 and 35 and graduates from film and media academies from Germany and East and South East Europe. Joint production teams with a producer, director, camera op-er ator (not for animated films) and a screenwriter in a balanced mix from both regions are allowed to submit projects. The categories qualifying for three co-production prizes for joint short film pro duc-tions are animated film, documentary and short film, and each win-ning production can receive up to 70 000 euros in funding.

which world do you want to live in?

Every year, the Berlinale Talent Campus centres attention on the most promising filmmakers from all over the world. It means 350 people from different backgrounds with their own reasons to be work ing in film, their dreams and the differing options open to them. Their passion for film and their willingness to travel and widen their experience by learning from others is what unites them. Nevertheless, each one of us brings another story to Berlin. Each story shows a new undiscovered piece of our world, it tells us something about what the world around us means.

This Campus edition focuses on the awareness of that world and one’s active position in it. Which world do you want to live in? A world that presents itself to you in a way others have decided it should be, a world in which you follow the rules and the regulations and do things like they’ve been done for decades? Or a world in which you try to change things? A world in which you are allowed to redefine, adjust, question or oppose things because you feel the urge to do so.

These are big questions. We think that for every single film­maker, these are issues that matter, that one should think about and be aware of, issues that coincide with the film you work on, that shape your personality and influence the circumstances in which you find yourself at the moment.

The Berlinale Talent Campus #9 aims to frame these issues and to focus on a new generation that firstly positions itself in modern society: speaks out, dares to question things that make you think, that make you doubt, that enrage you or that you’re passionate about. In 2011, the Campus focuses on how emerging filmmakers can poli ti ­cal ly or socially engage themselves and take a stand in today’s world. Filmmakers like Kerry Fox, John Greyson, Barbara Hammer, Claudia Llosa, Sepideh Farsi, Samuel Maoz, Janus Metz, Rafi Pitts, Isabella Ros sellini, Abder rah mane Sis sako, Danis Tanović and Christine Vachon will address this in a variety of sessions – talking not only about what they think it should be, but also about how they engage with con­temporary society and how they use their work to make a difference.

An increasingly demanding film in du s try often requires clear po sitioning in yet an other way. What are the new trends and in which direction are technology, financing mo d els and production work ­ flows devel op ing? Pioneers and grand masters will un veil their se crets and share their insights with a selected group of Campus film makers, among them Shekhar Ka pur, Edward Lach man, Alex Mc Do well, Mi ch el Reilhac, Philippe Ros, Wim Wenders and Jasmila Žbanić.

In a world dominated by social net work ing and non­stop stimuli, focusing has be come an art in itself. Following your in stincts might not be enough – focusing asks for daring and decisiveness, for choices and thorough concentration.

This year’s pro gramme includes an array of workshops by experts who help you train yourself to deal with these vital issues: not postponing de cis ions, having an aim and becoming aware of what you can com mu ni cate non­verbally. It‘ll help you realise that you're part of a com mu nity of promis ing film makers and not fighting alone against dead lines, industry pressure or disappearing funds.

We believe that a new generation of filmmakers does care about the world they live in – and the Campus challenges you to de ­fine your own way of expressing this in your work.

the 9th Berlinale talent campus encourages a new generation of filmmakers to position themselves and to tackle contemporary issues head-on in films that are stamped with their distinctive styles and artistic visions.

The Campus‘ Score Competition from above to below: Last year's three finalists in the studio | Michael Nyman working on an orchestration | German Film Orchestra Babelsberg

three composers get ready to scoreto the moving image.

“ it was amazing to be involved in every aspect of the composition and production process from the sketches to the final mix.” Camilo Sanabria, Score Competition winner 2010

If music communicates anything at all, it communicates emo­tions. Think about your favourite film and it’s a good bet that you’ll find a powerful score inextricably linked to the experience. Some great scores have imprinted key cinematic moments in the minds of the audience; sometimes they assist in raising their status to classic film. At the nerve centre of theory and practice, the Score Competition offers composers and sound designers hands­on experience in com­position for film. They have the opportunity to draw on the extensive skills of established professionals and experiment with the high­end equipment of the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg and the Film and Television University (HFF) “Konrad Wolf“.

Composing a new score for selected film material is what it’s all about. The three finalists of the Score Competition – Ehud Freedman (Israel), Roger Goula (Spain/UK) and Felix Rösch (Germany) – will each compose a score for the short film LITTLE REd by Romanian director Eva Pervolovici. LITTLE REd is one of the five short films pro duced for the Berlin Today Award 2011 (see page 33).

Priceless insights from their mentor, renowned composer Michael Nyman will guide their nine­day musical journey in Berlin. The unique chance to record their compositions with the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg will be followed by the final mixing at the Film and Television University (HFF) “Konrad Wolf“ and editing at the post­production company Wave­line. All three finalists will receive direct individual feedback not just from their mentor Michael Nyman, but also from the various experts involved in all stages of post­production – from preparing scores, using studio resources and re cor d ing with an orchestra to the final editing and mixing.

Since 2004, the Score Competition has been training com­posers in the art of film scoring and many of them have gone on to score a variety of both short and feature­length films, documentaries, commercials, television programmes and other productions that re­quire original music composition. The intense and enriching sound journey of the three finalists reaches its climax at the Score Competition Presentation on Feb 17, where the winning contestant will be awarded a trip to Los Angeles with an exclusive guided tour to the best sound studios in the city, sponsored by dolby Laboratories.

create your worldScore Competition

you began as a musical theorist – how did that influence you as a composer?

Yes, I started as a would­be musicologist in the 1960s. I edited early music and was a music critic for ten years. So even before I became a composer there was already a career I left behind. I have a sort of awareness that comes from all those diverse elements that made up my career before I was 25 that stays with me. And I have a knowledge of European musical tradition and how to find source material which is, I guess, why it sometimes appears in my original work. So my whole history moved into the direction of what I do now. Although it is sometimes added – maybe confused – by also being a photo grapher and a filmmaker…

Have there been moments in your career where you thought you would need to position yourself more clearly?

The market place for young composers today is very different from how it was when I started composing and also from the position which I was in when I started composing. At that time, 1976, writing music was kind of simultaneously with me writing soundtracks. It’s not that I was in the film or soundtrack business as a young composer has to be now, but I’ve worked with a very specific director, Peter Greenaway who had the most specific ideas and very specific needs for a composer. He made films which were not generic films, which from an aesthetic point of view, from a structural, conceptional, ironic point of view happened to be close to the kind of music I was writing anyway. So, the collaboration with Peter Greenaway was, in the first place, a way of me exploring my new found creativity as a composer.

this way you were able to develop a certain personal style – would you consider this an important qualification for a young film composer?

Well, on the one hand I say: Find your own voice, be an in­dividual. Try not to be part of a generalised music direction where your music could be mistaken with the music of a hundred others. But on the other hand, from the economic point of view that posit­ion of the soundtrack composer as an original artist is also very dangerous because if your particular brand, your particular sound of music is not liked by the people who have the power to make de ci s­ions then you never get any work. So you do have to be a generalist too, you do have to be able to write for a full orchestra, street music, rap music and so on. But I obviously prefer far more to be in the position I am. I create my world and that’s my life, to be Michael Nyman, to sound like Michael Nyman.

Michael Nyman Film composer

British film composer, pianist, librettist and musicologist. Nyman became widely known as a film score composer for his work in many of Peter Greenaway’s films (A ZEd & TWO NOUGHTS, THE COOK THE THIEF HIS WIFE & HER LOV ER, PROSPERO’S BOOKS), and his scores for WONdER­LANd and GATTACA. His soundtrack for THE PIANO sold more than three million copies. He has written numerous orchestral and ensemble pieces and tours as a performing pianist with the Michael Nyman Band. His credits as filmmaker include the 2010 documentary NYMAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA.

script consultants work with talents for greater depth in their storytelling.

“stories may belong to individuals but storytelling is universal. i look forward to returning with a feature.”

Faisal Qureshi, participant 2010

It doesn’t matter how good your idea is if you can’t find a way to tell the story. A fantastic narrative and intriguing charac ters can convert an idea into a captivating script, but this is no mean feat. Helping scriptwriting Talents to find creative solutions to their speci ­fic script problems, develop characters and dialogues to their fullest and fine­tune their script is what’s on hand at the Script Station. It connects scriptwriters and leading script consultants from around the globe to discuss and develop the yet unpolished scripts.

The Script Station commences with an intensive Project de­vel opment day that prepares the ground for subsequent coaching and feedback sessions with men tors Gyula Gazdag, Louise Gough (SOURCES 2), Lucile Hadžihalilović, Marten Rabarts, Franz Roden­kirchen and Selina Ukwuoma. This note worthy line­up of mentors will work with writers and directors on the in­depth development and en­han cement of their projects at this very critical phase in the filmmaking process.

The Doc Station: a week of undivided attention, insights and advice by experts

As creative projects that put real life struggles and aspirations into cinematic stories, documentaries provoke thought and reflec ­tion, and sometimes even action. At the Campus doc Station, it is the authors of these stories who reflect on their concept and treatments and work at developing the quality, range and ambition of their projects, as well as their own creative skills.

This hands­on training, which owes its existence to the support of the German Federal Film Board (FFA), assists twelve determined documentary filmmakers at a time when the pressures and challen ­ges of structuring their treatments are mounting. A week of undivid ­ed attention, insights and advice by high­profile industry experts will take them a long way in strengthening and improving the narra tive structure of their treatments. doc Station mentors include Kathrin Brink mann, dick Fontaine, Jakob Kirstein Høgel, Ulla Simonen (SOUR CES 2), Fleur Knopperts, and Meike Martens. Mentoring ses s ions running parallel over the week will be preceded by an intensive Project development day.

the campus studio is a bustling post-production hub where aspiring filmmakers give films their final touches for the big screen.

Good films – those that tell a compelling story and effectively deliver the filmmaker’s vision – are the result of a magical blend of ideas, aesthetics and the mechanics of filmmaking. A good under­standing of filmmaking tools and techniques is a prerequisite to translating these ideas into cinematic language. designed to assist Talents in finding the right artistic expression for their films, the Post­Production Studio is an intensive hands­on educational experience that gives them a thorough understanding of the integral steps in the post­process and focuses on improving films in the final stages of production. Professionalising work processes is the keyword which Talents learn by way of technological know­how and the expertise pro vided to them: The latest technology for ingest and transfer, editing, grading and mastering digital material are made available to Talents in the Post­Production Studio. The Editing Studio, for its part, allows selected Talents to fine tune their rough­cuts and strengthen the narrative structure of their stories on the advice and expert guidance of world­class editors. The Campus Studio has been made possible through the support and cooperation of Camelot Broadcast Services and the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (dffb).

Post-Production studio The Post­Production Studio places the reputed cine mato­

grapher and post­production expert Philippe Ros and post­production supervisor Ugur Yildrim at the disposal of Talents, who direct them on using state­of­the­art digital workflow equipment and offer a com­prehensive survey of the practical filmmaking techniques – from shooting with digital cameras like Sony F3 and ARRI Alexa to digital post­production processes including editing, grading, mast ering and data management.

editing studioEditing can be an exacting process. And yet, often after weeks

of being closeted in the editing studio, you’ve made little progress. Noted editors Andrew Bird, Katja dringenberg, Susan Korda, Gesa Marten and Molly Malene Stensgaard work with around nine Talents in the editing room, giving them valuable insight and tips to improve and strengthen the narrative structure of their projects. Talent editors and directors will have an entire day with a renowned editor to polish the rough­cuts of their fiction or documentary short films or excerpts of their feature­length film. As Astrid Rondero, participant in 2010, ex­plains, “I had been working on the editing process for a year afraid of loosing the important part of my short film. The Editing Studio was a great journey of rediscovery, everything finally found its place”.

tHe editor as transformerCampus Studio

film editing is referred to as the “invisible art form“: the less you notice the editing the better it is. do you agree?

Well, I think it’s somehow right that editing is an invisible art form. But I don’t think in general that it is not good when you notice it. Editing is very often an art form that is blended into the film, it’s built in and that is quite beautiful. So if people experience the film well, then I feel happy because then I know I have done my job well.

so then, should the material influence the style of editing?Yes, the material and the vision for the film. I don’t believe in

editors having their own way of editing or having a personal style and applying it to any film. That doesn’t make sense to me.

How do you put the first cut together – do you follow the script exactly or do you just try to read the film by watching the material?

A kind of mixture, I think. In the beginning I use the script as a reference, as guidance to orientate myself in the story. For the first cut, I don’t take out many lines out of respect for the efforts that went into the script. I think, at this early stage, it is too soon for me to be that “wise“ on the story. So normally, I do the first cut pretty much according to the script. But after that it is very much the editor’s task to work at the transformation from written language to film language. And that also means taking a distance from the script and cutting out dialogue, if reasonable. Being exactly at the point of this transformation: That’s one of the beauties of the editor‘s work.

what is your way then of finding the ideal rhythm for a film? Oh, that’s actually the easy part. It results very much from

working with the material. I think, basically, that is the talent you need as an editor from the beginning: You can learn a lot about story ­ telling, structure and stuff like that, but a sense for rhythm, music and movements you have or you don’t have.

you just finished your 7th film with lars von trier – what is it you both share that you can work together so well?

Humour is a very important part of being together for such a long time in the editing room. Then, we use very little energy on power struggle issues, which is whose territory and so on. The im­portant thing is to create a room of trust and respect for each other. Our working relationship is also based on the fact that I am always allowed and expected to do experiments. Lars von Trier and I never say to each other: “What a bad idea!”, and then discuss it for ten minutes. We just try it out.

Molly Malene Stensgaard Film editor

danish film editor who has edited most of Lars von Trier’s films including THE KINGdOM, THE IdIOTS, dANCER IN THE dARK, dOGVILLE, MANdERLAY, THE BOSS OF IT ALL and the forthcoming MELANCHOLIA.

Berlinale Talent Campus #9

“ Participating in talent Press was not only a great experience as a young film critic and as a film lover, but also a unique occasion to dive into a thrilling universe.” Loïc Valceschini, Talent Press 2010

Writing about films just before they open in cinema halls, the “job“ part of being a film critic for a daily or weekly publication, is often far more challenging and stressful than writing film essays for a monthly magazine or film blog. Talent Press, a collaborative venture of the Berlinale Talent Campus, the Goethe­Institut and FIPRESCI, has participating press Talents experience the pressures of working in an editorial room situation with its very tight deadlines, preparing them for the real life challenges of the “job“.

In its eighth edition, eight film critics and journalists at different stages in their careers and from different corners of the world come together in Berlin: Josefina Maria Garcia Pullés (Argentina), Francis Joseph Cruz (Philippines), Conall Cash (Australia), diego Faraone (Uruguay), Eren Odabasi (Turkey), Nicholas deigman (UK), Bethsheba Achitsa (Kenya) and Pamela Pianezza (France).

For many of them, Talent Press facilitates their very first ex ­ po sure to an international film festival, where they gain the oppor­tunity to explore the inner working of the Berlin International Film Festival and sharpen their knowledge and views on independent and experimental, as well as mainstream cinema. Exchanging views and receiving feedback and guidance from prominent film critics as they review films, write about Campus events and conduct high­profile interviews makes it an invaluable experience. Talent Press, as an estab lished forum for eclectic film criticism, also provides a space

for participants to exchange ideas and learn from one another as well as build networks for the development of their writing careers. Mentor Chris Fujiwara stated in an interview: “At Talent Press, you have the chance to talk and work with people who are motivated by the same thing as you: the desire to see and understand cinema.” Joining him as mentors of Talent Press 2011 are dana Linssen, derek Malcolm and Stephanie Zacharek. Their articles will be published daily from Feb 13­17, 2011 on www.talentpress.org, the website of Talent Press – which features articles of press Talents and alumni throughout the year – and on those of the Goethe­Institut and FIPRESCI “Best of Talent Press”, a print publication comprising a selection of articles written during the Campus week, will be released on the last Campus day.

Talent Press begins with an “Introduction day“; mentors and press Talents come together and get to know one another before they commence their fervent writing and reviewing of films and events. They also gain a more in­depth understanding of the Campus and its vast range of events and activities, as well as an overview of the current state of film criticism worldwide. the first talent Press international took place in march 2010 at the talent campus guadalajara.

It’s rigorous, but exhilarating! The Talent Actors Stage offers a challenging opportunity to explore acting techniques, dialogue delivery, casting, improvisation and more. In its second year and going full throttle, this hands­on training programme is not just for actors, but focuses on interdisciplinary collaboration with directors, producers, scriptwriters and cinematographers to foster exchange, dialogue and effective cooperation among practitioners of the different fields of filmmaking. As such, the Talent Actors Stage facilitates the improvement of actors’ per formances by bringing them together with professionals from other film disciplines. In ad­di t ion to networking possibilities with other film practitioners and co­Talents, the Talent Actors Stage endeavours to give more prominence to acting Talents within the Campus.

The short film competition of the Berlinale Talent Campus invited directors from all over the world to submit ideas inspired by the motto “Every Step You Take”. does the flap of a butterfly's wings in Thailand set off a tornado in Texas? Small decisions we take in everyday life intrinsically influence our near future. What is a harmless accessory in one part of the world might be a major statement in another that leads to a chain of reactions. Whether political or private, it is these moments of taking a step and being aware of it, that are at the core of the Berlin Today Award 2012.

Fifteen Talents selected prior to the Campus will be able to present their film ideas to selected producers during the Producers’ Meeting at the Berlinale Talent Campus 2011. The top five projects will be produced by five production companies from Berlin and Bran den­burg – with funding from the Medienboard Berlin­Bran den burg and in­kind contributions from the film industry.

The short films will celebrate their world premiere at the Opening of the Berlinale Talent Campus 2012 as part of the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival.

Since its invention, cinema has helped us to imagine what our lives could be like and how the world could look. Film offers an extra­ordinary glimpse into a world you've never seen, never dreamt of or dared to enter. How do you imagine a world beyond what you've known, and what do you see when you leave the place you know best? The motto of this year’s competition encouraged film makers to envision a world beyond the familiar.

A jury comprising actress dorka Gryllus, director Hannes Stöhr and producer Peter Rommel selects the winner of the Berlin Today Award 2011 from:

the rules of engagementKerry fox, Henning Mankell and José Padilha.Moderated by Matthijs Wouter Knol. In cooperation with Berlinale Panorama.11:00 | Hau 1

Whether mainstream blockbuster or low­budget documen t­ary, films are capable of engaging the realm of politics, society and culture. But tackling contemporary issues or working within a very specific niche is by no means easy. How could a new generation of filmmakers position themselves in such a climate? Brazilian director José Padilha won the 2009 Golden Bear for ELITE SquAD, and his latest ELITE SquAD 2 – THE EnEMy WITHIn features in this year’s Berlinale Panorama. Padilha explores in his films the problems of crime in Rio, particularly in relation to police corruption and middle­class in dif­ference. Joining him on stage is new Zealand actress and director Kerry Fox who won the 2001 Silver Bear for Best Actress for her role in InTIMACy, and Swedish author, screenwriter, dramatist and activist Henning Mankell, who is best known for the “Kurt Wallander Mysteries”. Mankell was on the “Ship to Gaza“ in 2010, which tried to break the Israeli embargo of the Gaza strip. The three panellists will talk about how it all began for them – the initial impetus that led them down their individual paths, how it impacted their lives, shaped subsequent projects, and how this engagement further developed taking on a life of its own.

diving into Post-ProductionCase Study with Philippe ros.In cooperation with Camelot Broadcast Services.11:00 | Hau 3, top floor

Reputed director of photography and digital imaging super­visor from France, Philippe Ros will conduct a case study on OCEAnS, a film directed by Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud, which was in production for over six years. As digital imaging director, technical supervisor of the image and one of 17 DOPs on OCEAnS, Ros will divulge “secrets“ to dealing with the challenges that arise when matching film and digital formats, in particular when numerous shots are taken under totally different conditions, at differing depths and with varied lighting, as was the case for OCEAnS. He will explain how

the combination of old lighting tricks, new contrast curves and col­ourist skills allowed him to achieve his goals quite successfully. Plac ing emphasis on the relationship between the chief digital imag­ing technician and the colourist, Ros will show how the directors of OCEAnS succeeded in creating a strong team and involving the DoPs in extensive research at various levels.

filming WarJanus Metz, Samuel Maoz and danis tanović.Moderated by ben Gibson.In cooperation with Robert Bosch Stiftung.14:00 | Hau 1

Portraying high pressure and life­risking situations is inherent to film making processes that depict war and crisis situations, whether fiction or documentary. The very notion of crisis implies that film­makers have to deal with specific issues: decide what to show and how to deal with the (fictitious) reality of war and extremity. Reflecting on such issues are three reputed filmmakers – Danis Tanović bagged an Oscar in 2001 for nO MAn’S LAnD, Janus Metz won the 2010 Grand Prize at the International Critics' Week of the Cannes Film Festival for his documentary ARMADILLO, and Samuel Maoz won the 2009 Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival and two European Film Awards for LEBAnOn. All three critically acclaimed films depict war and portray people under tremendous pressure. Janus Metz and his cine­ma to grapher had to expose themselves to the same risks as the soldiers. They filmed with two cameras the entire time and even had some soldiers wear helmet cameras. The absence of dialogue in Maoz’ film script for LEBAnOn meant that rehearsing seemed pointless: “I took each of the actors and, separately, locked them in a very small, dark and hot container. After about two hours, when I knew their bodies would have shut down, as if hypnotised, I knocked on the iron walls with a bar, something that sounded very like an attach on a tank […] When they came out and I looked in their eyes, I could see that I didn’t have to explain anything else.” In nO MAn’S LAnD, Tanović relies heavily on humour to defuse the tension and highlight the ironies of the situation. The three filmmakers will discuss their distinctive approaches to depicting tense, life­threatening situations, as well as the creative and political decisions they took while making their films.

Kill your darlings Master class with Susan Korda.14:00 | Hau 2

The editing process which sounds simple enough – you select shots and you arrange and modify them to clarify and refine their form and content – is actually a rather complex and dynamic process. It is a question of technique and art. Film editing isn’t just about how the stories you choose to tell in your films can be enhanced, it sometimes

SuNday, feb 1348

comes down to rescuing an entire film project. Films often find their true form in the editing room. This master class by Susan Korda will take you on an inspiring and educational journey that lays bare the lessons learnt by previous film teams and editors. you will learn how to craft a film’s structure and perfect its look such that it grabs an audience and keeps it there.

Susan Korda, editor, director, writer and lecturer at Columbia university, and long­time Campus expert, will provide an insider view of the dynamics of the craft of editing showing clips from a selection of films such as BOnnIE AnD CLyDE to draw attention to a multitude of details from the sound and edit to the background of a film. She will discuss different approaches to the work of an editor and elaborate on the importance of experimentation, for example, by illustrating how a film can function quite well despite flaws in the wardrobe or the angle of the camera. She will guide you on how to “kill your darlings“ in the editing process without losing your collaborators in the montage stage of filmmaking, and explain how an editor can work with an overwhelming amount of excess footage, and yet succeed in extra­cting the best material which is carefully woven into the film, every decision shaping the tone and pace of the film.

directing actorsMaster class with Kerry fox. Moderated by Marten rabarts.14:00 | Hau 3, top floor

Acting is first and foremost a craft. And although honing one’s acting skills is crucial, it doesn’t come with certified roles or with the experience of dealing with the demands of each role. Prominent ac t­ress and filmmaker, winner of the 2001 Silver Bear for Best Actress for her outstanding performance in InTIMACy, Kerry Fox will reflect on what it means to dive head and heart into a role and how directors can assist actors in delivering compelling performances. Drawing on her vast and versatile acting career and sharing her per spective as a director, she will give insight into her own style of working with actors and her personal experiences with the various directors in whose films she has starred. Kerry Fox stepped into the limelight with her role in Jane Campion’s An AnGEL AT My TABLE and went on to establish herself in ter nationally, working in independent films and television. Amongst numerous others, she has starred in Gillian Armstrong’s THE

In the Limelight: Isabella rosselliniWith Isabella rossellini. Moderated by Peter Cowie.17:00 | Hau 1

As the daughter of Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini, Isabella Rossellini has been in the limelight her entire life. An actress, writer and director, it was her gut­wrenching performance in David Lynch’s BLuE VELVET which shot her to fame, and subsequently her prominent roles, among others, in DEATH BECOMES HER, IMMORTAL

BELOVED and WyATT EARP. She also delivered an unforgettable per for­mance in Canadian avant­garde filmmaker Guy Maddin’s THE SADDEST

MuSIC In THE WORLD and narrated his film BRAnD uPOn THE BRAIn! at the 2007 Berlinale. The famed actress then turned her hand to writing – collaborating with Maddin on My DAD IS 100 yEARS OLD, a film about her father – and directing. She wrote, directed and starred in the delightfully surreal short film series GREEn PORnO about animal sex. Isabella Rossellini, Jury President of the 61st Berlin International Film Festival, will talk about the various transitions in her professional life, her recent foray into writing and directing and her spirited engagement in human rights advocacy. The session will commence with the screen­ing of My WILD LIFE, a documentary film that portrays her life and work by German director Gero von Boehm.

two Producers Sharing their Secrets Carole Scotta and Paul trijbits. 17:00 | Hau 2

Many jobs in the film industry are well­defined, for example, that of the director, scriptwriter or director of photography. Any de fi nition of the role of the film producer is imprecise at best! Film pro duction requires someone who has the expertise and vision to take decisions through all four stages of filmmaking. uS­American film producer Richard Zanuck once said: “The producer is like the con ­ duc tor of an orchestra. Maybe he can't play every in stru ment, but he knows what every instrument should sound like.” Pro duction neces ­ si t ates a command of hundreds of details while keeping the broad objective of the film firmly in view. This simultaneously implies pro­viding in sights and feedback on the creative aspects of filmmaking. Two veteran film producers, Carole Scotta (THE CLASS and BLACK

HEAVEn) and Paul Trijbits (TAMARA DREWE and TOAST – which features in this year’s Berlinale), who between them have been involved in the production of up to a hundred films and received numerous awards and nomi nations, go behind the scenes to explain not just their role vis­à­vis finance, marketing and distribution, but also the creative elements to being a producer. Giving examples of some of their past projects, they will focus on the role of producers as sparring partners, working closely with directors right from the start, connecting content with the harsh but creative reality of producing films.

your body Speaks: the art of Presenting your filmJean-Louis rodrigue. 17:00 | Hau 3, top floor

How the director and producer present their project to potential studio executives and investors often determines if the film will be made. Effective presentation requires clarity of expression, confident body language, accessing the imagination and engaging the audience’s attention by connecting to their emotions. This involves under standing how to use “watcher identification“ and empathy as a way to connect and “seduce” your audience, using mind mapping to plan a presentation that communicates effectively, developing phy­sical and mental coordination in order to act out the story dynamically in time and space, using heroism as a way of making your presentation un for gettable, and connecting to your senses to create the “dream world” of your story so they “hear and see it”. This is an interactive, hands­on workshop led by acting coach, movement trainer, choreo­grapher and senior teacher of the Alexander Technique Jean­Louis Rodrigue. Some Talents will have the opportunity to present their projects to Rodrigue in front of an audience as practical application. This workshop is open primarily to directors, writers, and producers.

On the Path with Jasmila Žbanić actors Workshop with Jasmila Žbanić. In cooperation with Robert Bosch Stiftung.feb 14 + 15 | 11:00 | Hau 3, black Stage

Auditioning for a role is very different from actually acting in a film. For many, this is a daunting prospect. Practice and experience is the only way to overcome the fear and to show your talent in the most convincing way. This intensive casting workshop is led by director Jasmila Žbanić, who won the 2006 Golden Bear for GRBAVICA. Her subsequent film On THE PATH featured in the 2010 Berlinale Com pe­tition. using these two films as a starting point, but also working with new scenes and through improvisations, actors will have the benefit of Jasmila Žbanić‘s insight as director and will experience her style of casting.

Let’s Make It LegalMareile büscher and Michael C. donaldson.In cooperation with Raue LLP.11:00 | Hau 3, top floor

One of the major worries of a filmmaker is the threat of a law­suit, and consequently the fear of the completed film languishing in legal limbo for an indefinite period of time. Indeed, filmmaking is and should be a creative endeavour, but in order that this creativity is re­cognised and appreciated, it is vital to invest attention and resources to the legal aspects of filmmaking. In fact, taking care of these rather unglamorous issues in a timely manner can be just as important to the ultimate success of the film as having a great script, an outstanding cast, spectacular cinematography or stunning special effects.

This session focuses on the legal issues likely to be encount­ered during film production. Michael C. Donaldson has represented writ ers, directors, producers and artists for over 30 years; his book “Clear ance and Copyright: Everything the Independent Filmmaker needs to Know” is used as a textbook in over 40 colleges and uni ver­sities. Join ing him onstage is Mareile Büscher, legal counsel at Raue LLP, who specialises in intellectual property matters, media and enter­tainment law and copyright litigation and negotiation; she is also a lecturer on art and copyright law at various institutions. The two legal counsels will advise, using examples from the productions they have dealt with – Donaldson in north American and Büscher in Europe – on what to beware of when making films.

Camera Workshop at CamelotIn cooperation with Camelot Broadcast Services.feb 14, 13:00 | Shuttle leaves at 12:30 from Hau 2 feb 15, 10:00 | Shuttle leaves at 9:30 from Hau 2

Camelot‘s camera workshop during the Campus offers parti­cipants the possibility to see first­hand and ask questions about a variety of cameras. They will be demonstrated and guided through the cameras’ many functions and possibilities. Of particular interest will be Sony‘s F35, the Arri Alexa, the Red One with MX sensor, the PMW F3, the Pro­35 adaptor and the Canon 7D with PL mount. Par ti­cipants will be able to learn about the cameras‘ many different pro­perties and recording possibilities, and will also be warned of potential pitfalls in addition to receiving tips on the best ways to avoid them. This will place them in a better position to shoot material in a way that best suits whatever production or post­production work flow they

might find themselves in, in the future. Moreover, this practical work­shop allows participants to gain real hands­on experience with the cameras in question and to try them out for themselves. This way, they can perform their own tests, whether shoulder­held or tripod­based.

excursion to the Costume House theaterkunst In cooperation with Theaterkunst.13:15 | Meeting point 13:00 at the entrance to Hau 1

Whether it is a dark thriller, a heart­warming comedy, an opu­lent period drama or a racy science fiction film – they are all fitted with costumes and accessories at the Costume House Theaterkunst. The largest and oldest costume house for film, television, theatre and advertising in Germany, the institution celebrated its hundredth anniversary in 2007. With branches in Hamburg, Munich and Cologne, and headquarters in Berlin, the costume house offers about 10 million pieces from all styles, epochs and trends, making it possible to trace the past decades of film history and costume equipment. They have fitted such films as VARIETé, BEn HuR, METROPOLIS, and more recently, the likes of InGLOuRIOuS BASTERDS, THE READER and THE WHITE RIB-

BOn. Innumerable rows of clothes and accessories, the latter in clu des scarves, gloves, glasses, jewellery, hats and umbrellas, from every era imaginable adorn the racks of the Theaterkunst, making one wonder about the extent of creative expression and extreme attention to con­textual and historical accuracy that go into putting together each costume and film. This general tour is open to ten Talents.

In the Limelight: Harry belafonteHarry belafonte. Moderated by rajendra roy.In cooperation with Berlinale Special.14:00 | Hau 1

Legendary singer actor and human rights activist, Harry Belafonte is one of the most successful uS­American musicians known worldwide for bringing the Jamaican calypso beat to mainstream audiences.

and expectations – they want immersion and interaction. As audiences move from one platform to another, how does one develop stories and characters that can travel across screens and devices?

In the first of a series of three sessions on cross­media story­telling, experts and pioneers will describe how to build story worlds that can span across multiple platforms and engage audiences in power ful new ways.

embodying the Character: acting on Screen with your body acting workshop with Jean-Louis rodrigue.14:00 | Hau 3, top floor

If you did not have words, could you still tell the story? This workshop focuses on recognising the power of movement and phy sicality in creating a character in film. Jean­Louis Rodrigue, a re­nown ed movement and acting coach and a senior teacher of the Alexander Technique as applied to performance in film, helps actors and actresses find the fluidity of ease, power, precision and passion in their performance. The Alexander Technique is a meth od that explores the basic impulses of human movement – how we interfere

Every gesture has enormous implications in telling the story and revealing the character. The workshop will explore the elements that make an actor charismatic, emotionally authentic and clearly ex­pres sive by developing kinesthetic awareness of your body, ex plo r ing the basic principles of the Alexander Technique, connecting to breath coordination and voice to text, being in space and entering the world of the story, understanding how to bring ritual, myth and primal an­ces tors into your performance, and using animal movement as a way to find the spine of the character and connecting to your em otions. Participants are required to have a monologue ready for this intensive hands­on workshop and interactive experience.

excursion to the european film Market With Sydney Levine.In cooperation with European Film Market.Meeting point | entrance to Hau 1 always 15 minutes prior to the start.“Meet the docs” Mon 14, 16:00 | tue 15, 10:00 Wed 16, 10:00 + 12:30

The European Film Market (EFM), a film trade fair, is a major industry meeting for the international film circuit. For nine days during the Berlinale, film professionals have the opportunity to find out about the latest productions and developments in the global film scene. The annual EFM acts as a vital barometer for the upcoming film year, attrac­ting distributors, film buyers, producers, financiers and co­production agents, as it assists their positioning in the market and offers op por­tunities to develop and cultivate business contacts. This year, over 400 exhibitors from 54 countries and over 650 films will be presented to industry visitors. The historical location of the EFM, which is housed in the renaissance­style exhibition hall of the Martin­Gropius­Bau, lends the vibrantly active event lasting nine days, a certain gla mour and charm.

Excursions guided by Sydney Levine, who will also conduct a “Meet the Expert“ session (see page 35), will enable Talents to acquaint themselves with the structure and workings of the EFM. Talents spe cia­ lising in documentary filmmaking can also join the special tour to “Meet the Docs”, a joint initiative with the European Documentary network (EDn) and specifically dedicated to the documentary indu­stry. “Meet the Docs” aims to promote networking and exchange among buyers, sellers, directors, producers as well as distributors of docu mentaries.

the Shortest track to CinemaCatherine Colas, alexander Stein and rudolf Worschech.Moderated by Maike Mia Höhne.In cooperation with Berlinale Shorts.17:00 | Hau 2

Short films that find their way into regular cinema programmes remain few and far between. And although some dismiss short films as a medium for filmmakers just starting out, this under­appreciated genre is thriving, innovative and extremely active. What chances do short films have these days to be screened in regular cinemas? new strategies are being developed by proponents of the short film; one such example is an initiative launched in Germany, which will be presented by Catherine Colas (ZDF/ARTE). Berlinale Shorts curator Maike Mia Höhne will discuss, the various ways, means and actions undertaken to ensure that shorts get to the big screen, with Catherline Colas, Alexander Stein, Interfilm Festival producer, and Rudolf Wor­schech, chief editor of the German film magazine EPD Film. Addit ­ i onally, some of the shorts which have managed to reach cine mas and audiences will be screened during this session.

A singular opportunity for Talents and experts of the short film genre to network and explore possibilities of producing, distributing and showcasing short films follows the panel. This mini “marketplace“ will comprise short film industry professionals from within Germany and abroad – broadcasters, distributors, sales agents, producers, festi ­val programmers and short film marketing institutions. The infor mal event is meant to assist Talents in making contacts for screening and distributing their short films, enquiring about oppor tunities, potential partners and funders, and familiarising themselves with the market of alternative venues.

The 3D experience provides audiences with a new immersive experience while it gives film makers the opportunity to narrate stories in ways that are more ela bo rate, more life­like than ever before and to push the boundaries of filmmaking to the limits of their imagination.

Internationally renowned filmmaker Wim Wenders, who has made masterpieces such as WInGS OF DESIRE, the Cuban music documentary BuEnA VISTA SOCIAL CLuB and PARIS, TEXAS, presents his latest documentary PInA, a 3D dance film that is a tribute to the late German contemporary dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch, at this year’s Berlinale. As Wenders explains, “The two­dimensional cinema screen is just not capable of capturing Pina Bausch’s work, either emotionally or aesthetically. When I watched her dance for the first time twenty­five years ago, I was captivated and deeply moved. I was able to understand human movement, gestures and feelings in a whole new way. And this magic is what I would like to translate to the screen […] 3D gives us the possibility of taking the audience directly onto the stage, into the middle of the event”.

Showing excerpts from the film, Wenders, together with stereo grapher Alain Derobe and producers Gian­Piero Ringel and Erwin M. Schmidt, presents a case study on PInA and discusses the cre a tive possibilities that 3D technologies open up for filmmakers, and the role of the producer in developing such highly artistic films that create a truly immersive experience for audiences.

Where I am and Where I Want to Go:Choosing Personal Strategies in daily LifeWorkshop by thomas biniasz.10:30 | Hau 3, top floor

Any kind of creative work requires the ability to grasp some­thing that exists purely in the imagination and shape it into something tangible and successful. Translating innovative ideas into reality requires a creative strategy. This hands­on workshop, led by psy cho­logist, executive coach and management consultant Thomas Biniasz, focuses on learning to define yourself and your projects in the present, visualising possible options for the future and developing and im­proving decision­making in order to synchronise the present and the future.

Biniasz, whose core competencies comprise executive coach­ing, developing and implementing leadership programmes and facili­tating change processes in large organisations, will take you through the three­phased “Walt Disney Strategy“ which divides the world into dreamers, realists and critics. This workshop, designed for up to 20 participants, will help you learn about your personal goals and your professional positioning to enhance your individual impact.

too Good to be true: directing realityHeddy Honigmann and andres Veiel. Moderated by Matthijs Wouter Knol.11:00 | Hau 1

Incorporating fictional­style elements in documentary films have enriched the genre tremendously and resulted in compelling storytelling taken from reality. yet, critics question re­enactments, stag ing of interviews or even the adding of music in documentary films. On this panel are two outstanding filmmakers who have creat ­ed their own unique filmic language in both their documentary and fictional work: Andres Veiel is considered one of Germany’s leading documentary filmmakers; his latest feature IF nOT uS, WHO? features in this year’s Berlinale Competition. Veiel’s social and political viewpoint is strongly reflected in the choice of themes of his re mark able pro­ductions, for example, the documentary BLACK BOX BRD and the feature THE KICK. Another preeminent filmmaker, Heddy Honigmann is noted for her ability to make an emotional connection with people she films; her subjects have included cab drivers in Peru, immigrant musicians on the Parisian metro and Cuban exiles in new Jersey. Winner of major awards at festivals around the world, her artistic œuvre has been honoured with retrospectives, for example, at the MOMA in new york and Arsenal Cinema in Berlin. Through examples from their respective filmographies, the experts will discuss the extent to which directors can create their own filmic reality when making docu mentaries or use documentary elements when making fiction films.

Cinematography: the establishing Shotedward Lachman. Moderated by ben Gibson.14:00 | Hau 1

One of the most significant cinematographers of independent and Hollywood cinema, Ed Lachman has worked with directors such as Werner Herzog, Wim Wenders, Todd Haynes, Todd Solondz, Steven Soderbergh and ulrich Seidl, and is reputed to successful switch bet ­ween documentary and fictional forms. “It’s not a cameraman’s job to make nice pictures,” says Lachman, “but to bring out the truth.” His guiding principle can be seen in the multitude of films he has shot, such as THE VIRGIn SuICIDES, FAR FROM HEAVEn – which earned him an Academy Award nomination, ERIn BROCKOVICH, DESPERATELy SEEKInG

Our lives are subject to a structure within which we enact our daily acts and rituals, play our games and design our future. The five guests on this panel – each an expert in his/her field of spe ci a lisation – will address how one can create a virtual landscape of things and spaces around us and consequently in art and film. This session brings together production designer Alex McDowell (FIGHT CLuB, MInORITy

The look, the style of movement and the ability to adapt these to the different character roles and filmic setting are core aspects of the actor’s craft. Equally crucial to bringing characters of a script to life is the smooth and effective delivery of dialogue. This workshop of the Talent Actors Stage focuses on dialogue training and will have Talent actors reading vital scenes from a preselected script of the Script Station. Mentor Alby James will work with Talent actors and script­writers on building characters, exploring how characters would act, react and talk in a variety of circumstances and in the different situ at ions portrayed in each scene. Alby James, a successful theatre direc tor for fifteen years before he moved into films, radio and television drama, was previously head of development for two years with EOn Screenwriters’ Workshop in London and is currently in de­pendent producer. Scriptwriters will have the opportunity to ob serve a screen play brought to life for the first time. Participating actors and script writers are invited to offer opinions, reactions, feedback and suggestions at the end of each reading.

In the Limelight: István Szabó and ralph fiennesWith ralph fiennes and István Szabó. Moderated by Mike Goodridge.In cooperation with FERA and Robert Bosch Stiftung.17:00 | Hau 1

Renowned British actor turned director Ralph Fiennes, whose debut film CORIOLAnuS premieres prominently at this year’s Berlinale, has acted in films such as THE COnSTAnT GARDEnER, SunSHInE, THE

READER, THE HuRT LOCKER, SCHInDLER’S LIST and THE EnGLISH PATIEnT. He was nominated for Oscars for the latter two films. Fiennes steps into the spotlight with Hungarian filmmaker, István Szabó – a name that resonates in the world of cinema. He was awarded an Oscar for MEPHISTO and received tremendous accolade not just for his im pres ­s ive slate of films such as COLOnEL REDL, HAnuSSEn, MEETInG VEnuS and SWEET EMMA, DEAR BöBE, but also for the historic and con tem ­p orary relevance of the social and political themes they ad dress. The celebrated actor and director who worked closely together on Sun SHInE, an epic tale that follows the Hungarian Jewish family, Sonnen schein, through five generations, will discuss what it takes for a director to get actors to step into their roles with an ease that brings out convincing performances and what the close collaboration on the content of the film means and entails.

Emerging producers have plenty of tools to put their com pa­nies on the map and can choose from an array of funding opportunities for support. So much for marketing talk! What is the reality on ground when you set up your own company and want to distinguish yourself from others? How can you build a steady track record as a producer and be successful in getting your film out there?

Three European producers, who have made their mark in the past decade, will discuss the dos and don’ts when establishing oneself as a producer. They will be joined by Soon­Mi Peten, MEDIA Devel op­ment Programme representative, who will emphasise the signi ficance of new producers and entrepreneurs for the audiovisual industry and highlight the opportunities MEDIA offers young producers: how it en­ables them to broaden their horizons and streng then their profiles, gain access to financing and networking op por tunities. MEDIA, the Eu's support programme for the European audio visual industry, has facilitated the development and distribution of thousands of films as well as training activities, festivals and pro motion projects through­out the continent over the past 20 years. MEDIA is one of the Berlinale Talent Campus’ most essential partners.

building digital Worlds for the ScreenShekhar Kapur and alex Mcdowell. 17:00 | Hau 3, top floor

Creating the physical world surrounding a film story involves not just design but also in­depth research, problem­solving and technical insight. As a creative process of visualising and physically developing an environment, it becomes a key element of the story­telling process. This workshop, for a selected group of production de­sig ners, is led by two master craftsmen: Indian filmmaker and pro­ducer Shekhar Kapur and production designer and producer Alex McDowell. Shekhar Kapur has made critically acclaimed films like BAnDIT quEEn, the award­winning historical biopic ELIZABETH and its sequel ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEn AGE, which was nominated for two Oscars. Alex McDowell is one of Hollywood’s most acclaimed pro­duction designers with films such as MInORITy REPORT, CHARLIE AnD

queer cinema originated in times when queer opinions and lifestyles weren’t as yet part of the prevailing film industry in western countries. queer filmmakers experimented with new, different forms of storytelling working with low­budgets and digital shooting formats way before the mainstream caught up with them. not only has queer cinema established itself as a thriving niche in present times, it has also been successful in forging greater mainstream acceptance of queer perspectives in cinema and everyday culture. At the same time, queer cinema appears increasingly less interested in demonstrating the importance of “daring to be different“, but more in celebrating the fact that “queer“ is now somewhat “normal“. Is this what the queer movement has been striving to achieve? How does one define a queer film today and are there differences at an international level? Cele bra ting the 25th TEDDy AWARD, the queer film prize of the Berlinale, five prominent filmmaking pro fessionals come together on this panel: Filmmaker and queer activist Wieland Speck, who is one of the initiators of the TEDDy AWARD in 1985; renowned indie producer Christine Vachon, who has produced many of the iconic queer films of the past two decades; Thai filmmaker Thunska Pansittivorakul, whose THE TERRO RISTS premieres in this year’s Berlinale Forum; Canadian filmmaker, video artist and activist John Greyson, whose uRInAL (1989) and FIG TREES (2009) both won TEDDy AWARDS at the Berlinale; and Monika Treut, one of Germany's most preeminent directors when it comes to queer films, whose GEnDERnAuTS won the TEDDy AWARD in 1999. They will discuss the concept and form of the “queer film“, the possible future role of queer cinema and the challenges faced by filmmakers in less queer­friendly parts of the world.

The most powerful stories emerge from the reality one is most engaged in. They are linked to the place(s) you come from, situations you’ve experienced and reflect issues that deeply move and interest you. In the words of award­winning filmmaker and producer Ab de r­rahmane Sissako, “When you work as a filmmaker, you have an intense desire to express yourself and I think that the best way to do so is to speak about oneself or one's experiences”. But how does one transform small, unique stories into compelling narratives that appeals to in ter­national audiences?

On stage with Abderrahmane Sissako, whose sharply political films such as BAMAKO and LIFE On EARTH are fitting critiques of glo­balisation, colonisation and social justice, is critically acclaimed film­maker Claudia Llosa, who won the 2009 Golden Bear and an Academy Award nomination for THE MILK OF SORROW, and Hungarian director and 2003 Campus alumnus Kornél Mundruczó, whose TEnDER SOn –

Barbara Hammer, a highly prolific visual artist working primarily in film and video, has made over eighty films and videos in the past forty years. Galvanised by the second wave of feminism, Hammer soon became a pioneer of queer cinema. Although the subjects she addresses are astonishingly diverse, her innovative and playful approach to form is unchanging. Her work is about re vea­ling, showing, expressing, uncovering that which has not been seen before. “I try to give voice and image to those who have been denied personal expression.” Her experimental films of the 1970s dealt with taboo subjects through performance, in the 1980s she used optical

dial f for fiction: Script Station PresentationModerated by Merle Kröger. In cooperation with German Federal Film Board (FFA) and SOURCES 2.14:00 | Hau 3, White Stage

It isn’t the director alone who makes a great film artistic. They do so because they work with exceptional, artistic scripts. The best film scripts are therefore lasting works of art which contain moments of bril l iance, elegance and emotionality that make us want to return to them time and time again. As every year, the Script Station 2011 will be a fascinating showcase of current global storytelling – locally roo­ted in twelve writers’ experienced reality and personal imagination. One topic depicted in several stories is farewell – as a long process of accompanying a mother with dementia, as a harsh break when a wife suddenly disappears, leaving her husband thrown out of his daily routine, as a painful experience in letting go an impossible love to save one’s own identity. Reflections of world politics shine through highly personal encounters – taking place in Athens and Beirut, or even beyond the coastline of Somalia. Remarkably strong women have to deal with teenage pregnancy in the uS Bible Belt or with the drug scene in Bucharest, with prejudice in Jordan and uganda. While male protagonists catch our hearts in their vulnerability: be it an outcast young rebel from rural India or a boy in love with death on the island of Borneo, Indonesia. These screenplays, at various stages of de vel­opment, will be discussed for the first time as works in progress by their writers and expert mentors, each depicting the aural, visual and lingual elements required to transform their stories into cinema.

Turning a fascinating idea grounded in reality into a factual work of art is indeed a long and lengthy process. The Doc Station gives a unique snapshot of the world, seen through the eyes of 12 filmmakers from five continents. They span from personal histories of violence

from Colombia to a revolutionary love story in Guatemala. We learn how the economic crisis hits a family business in China, and how an Ethiopian girl is hit by her HIV diagnosis. The directors unravel com­plex patterns of life in small­town Germany, in Barcelona’s suburbia, mov ing from new Zealand to China, and from Chile to Sweden. They seduce us with the timeless idea of love in Mexico, and with the ancient songs of Belize. And last but not least, they surprise us with the story of a Kenyan female truck driver, and the dilemma of two cage­fighting friends in Germany, who have to face each other. These stories of the Doc Station, currently at different stages of development, will be presented for the first time to a professional audience.

the Great World of SoundMaster class with Michael Nyman. Moderated by Peter Cowie.17:00 | Hau 1

Scoring for film is not a solo venture, but rather a collaborative project that requires a comprehensive understanding of the film and the aim of the filmmaker, envisaging it from a sonic perspective before bringing it to life. That’s what most people are familiar with vis­à­vis the music of Michael nyman – the distinguishing style of his film scores. Having worked as a film composer for over 30 years, he has composed a string of notable scores for over ten films of British art house director Peter Greenaway, several Michael Winterbottom films, and of course the astounding music for Jane Campion’s THE PIAnO. But nyman is more than just a film composer – with over 300 works only ten percent are film scores. He is also a conductor, composer, leader of the Michael nyman Band, photographer and filmmaker. In this master class, nyman will explore ideas behind the tension which exists between music/soundtrack composing, sound effects and mov ing and still images, and how all of these interact and affect each other in the completion of a film. Showing excerpts from his own films as well as the commercial films he has scored, he will talk about his approach and understanding of soundtrack composing from the perspective of a visual artist and filmmaker.

Why Poverty?don edkins and Hans robert eisenhauer.17:00 | Hau 2

Myriad films have been made on poverty but a large pro por­tion of them are stereotypical approaches often seen on television. Experts call them “development porn“ as images of passive help less­ness and deprivation are easy to absorb and easier to ignore. “Why Poverty?” aims to initiate a global dialogue on poverty through public media, challenging people to participate and come up with their own solu tions to eradicate poverty. This cross­media project, launched by Don Edkins, executive producer of the HIV/Aids project “Steps for the Future” and “Why Democracy?”, will comprise eight one­hour and thirty short documentary films to be distributed via innumerable inter national broadcasters, the internet and mobile platforms during a theme week in 2012. The films will depict how people find ways to overcome and fight poverty in daily life, fostering the belief that things can improve if we set our minds to it. Don Edkins will explain the underlining concept and the objectives of the project, the broad themes related to poverty under which the films will be made, and the process of applying with short film ideas, which can be submitted by interested Talents from February 2011. Joining him on stage is co­initiator Hans Robert Eisenhauer (ZDF/ARTE), who will ela borate on the process of initiating a project of this size and scale.

Christoph Schlingensief: five favouritesanselm franke, Carl Hegemann, francis Kéré, Matthias Lilienthal and Georg Seeßlen. Moderated by dorothee Wenner.In cooperation with Theater Hebbel am Ufer (HAU), Forum Expanded and Goethe-Institut South Africa.20:30 | Hau 1

He was once arrested for exhibiting a poster with the words “Kill Helmut Kohl” (then chancellor of Germany), and a year later form ed a political party, Chance 2000, which urged Germans to vote for themselves in the 2000 national elections. Christoph Schlingensief, the enfant­terrible of the German­speaking cultural scene, and cer­tainly its best­known artistic provocateur, passed away in August 2010. An artist, film, theatre and opera director, he was tireless in his attempts to urge a critical reflection on issues such as immigration, unemployment, rights of the disabled, etc.

This evening isdedicated to Christoph Schlingensief with se­lec ted film, photo and sound material from his work in theatre, visual art, film and opera. Five specialists, friends and companions will show, comment and discuss their favourite Schlingensief work. With Anselm Franke (curator) on “Medien­Kunst” (“Media Art”), Carl Hege mann (dra ma turge) on “Mea Culpa”, “Parsifal” and “Der fliegende Holländer” (“The Flying Dutch man”), Matthias Lilienthal (artistic director of HAu) on “Ausländer Raus!” (“Foreigners Out!”), Francis Kéré (architect) on the “Operndorf” (“Opera Village”) and Georg Seeßlen (film critic) on his films.

dress to Impress Master class for production designers at Costume House theaterkunst.In cooperation with Theaterkunst.10:00 | excursion | Shuttle leaves at 9:30 from Hau 2

Production designers and their teams would be at quite a loss if it wasn’t for the Theaterkunst. A reputed institution with a long tradition of outfitting films, Theaterkunst designs very personal and in di vidual collections for each film in line with their specifications. Their highly skilled team of wardrobe masters, tailors, designers and costume painters custom­makes every piece of clothing (or disguise) no matter how eccentric. As film costumes are a vital part of the narra­tive elements and contribute to the overall effect of the film, nothing about their form, colours, material, cut and design can be left to chance. Visiting the Theaterkunst is similar to taking a journey into the past where one revisits such classics as BEn-HuR, THE BLuE AnGEL and METROPOLIS, and the more recent critically acclaimed films THE LIVES

OF OTHERS and InGLOuRIOuS BASTERDS. A guided tour around Theaterkunst will introduce produc ­

t ion designer Talents to the vast collection of clothes and accessories stretch ing back decades and to the tiny details that go into costume

and production designing. Talents will also benefit from an en light­ening case study of the historical drama THE LAST STATIOn, which was filmed in Germany and supplied costumes by Theaterkunst. The film is an adaptation from the best­selling historical novel by Jay Parini and illustrates Russian author Leo Tolstoy’s struggle to balance fame and wealth with his commitment to a life devoid of material things.

disclosing the World Cinema fundVincenzo bugno and Sonja Heinen.In cooperation with World Cinema Fund.10:30 | Hau 3, top floor

With the aim of bringing new perspectives to the big screen from countries with little financial aid, the World Cinema Fund, an initiative of the Berlin International Film Festival, the German Federal Cultural Foundation in cooperation with the Goethe­Institut, finances independent productions from around the world. Supporting films from Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Central and South East Asia and the Caucasus, the fund looks for independent cinema that narrates local stories, embodies innovative ideas, concepts and aes­thetics. As Project Manager Vincenzo Bugno explains, “Our job is an incredible privilege. We deal with countless stories, visions and visual worlds but we are also very ambitious: we try our best in order to support strong projects with an original artistic profile. And it works!” Eighty fiction and documentary films have received funding from the World Cinema Fund so far. One of their very recent success stories is unCLE BOOn MEE WHO CAn RECALL HIS PAST LIVES by Thai director Apichatpong Weera sethakul, which won the Palme d’Or in Cannes in 2010. Moreover, three World Cinema Fund films will have their world premiere at the 2011 Berlinale: THE PRIZE in Competition, MEDIAnERAS

Censored CinemaSepideh farsi, Mehrangiz Kar, rafi Pitts and ali Samadi ahadi. Moderated by Vincenzo bugno.In cooperation with World Cinema Fund.14:00 | Hau 1

Filmmaking remains politically sensitive facing censorship and limitation of artistic expression in far too many countries, one such example is Iran. Iranian filmmakers Jafar Panahi and Mohammad Ras­soulov were recently sentenced to imprisonment and banned from making films. yet, films do get made in Iran, films that strive to tackle social issues head­on. And despite the fact that Iran’s current creative climate con tin ues to be in the clasp of a repressive regime, an im pres­sive body of work earning critical acclaim and international recognition is being pro duced. How do Iranian filmmakers deal with censorship and the imposed restrictions, and what consequences does this have? Pro mi nent Iranian filmmaker Rafi Pitts, whose film THE HunTER prem i­e red in the 2010 Berlinale Competition, will be joined by Mehrangiz Kar, eminent Iranian human rights activist and author, Iranian director Sepideh Farsi and Ali Samadi Ahadi, German filmmaker of Iranian descent. They will talk about how filmmakers can join forces and respond to political censorship.

the Schrader Way to Start a filmPaul Schrader. Moderated by Peter Cowie.In cooperation with Berlinale Special.11:00 | Hau 1

When the lights go off, the hall goes dark and the curtain rises, its time to sit back and enjoy the film. The anticipation that comes with the opening scene is often crucial to the success of the film as it sets the tone and allows the viewer to delve into the world it is creating. Many films hinge on the success of the opening scene as they compel us to remember and relive the moment, either with relish or tense with fear. Paul Schrader, uS­American screenwriter and director, has written a range of outstanding films such as TAXI DRIVER – which features in the 2011 Berlinale Special – RAGInG BuLL and THE LAST

TEMP TATIOn OF CHRIST, and is the acclaimed director of MISHIMA: A

LIFE In FOuR CHAPTERS, AMERICAn GIGOLO and BLuE COLLAR. With a spotlight on the perfect opening scene, Schrader will talk about creating an atmosphere that engages the audience, defines the film and keeps the audience hooked from the very start. using excerpts from the films he has written and/or directed, he will discuss how to open a film story that imparts the opening thematic component of everything that is to follow.

On track with Market trends:berlinale Co-Production Market & talent Project MarketKathi bildhauer, Martina bleis and Sonja Heinen.In cooperation with Berlinale Co-Production Market.12:15 | Hau 3, top floor

The 8th Berlinale Co­Production Market brings together about 500 reputed international producers, film financiers, sales agents and distributors, as well as broadcasting and funding representatives, for exclusive and concentrated networking. As its name implies, it is a ser­vice platform for those interested in international co­production to discover the most promising pre­selected projects, financing pos si­bilities and have productive exchanges on current topics. A per so n­alised schedule of one­to­one meetings with producers of selected projects is put together for each participant based on their preference of projects from the Co­Production Market’s catalogue. Since its in ­cep tion in 2004, 115 films, comprising approximately 40% of all pro­jects presented at the Berlinale Co­Production Market, have been made, premiered at major festivals worldwide and released in cinemas.

Say It with a Score: Score Competition Presentation and award Ceremonyehud freedman, roger Goula, Hubert Henle, Michael Nyman and felix rösch. Moderated by Milena fessmann.In cooperation with Dolby Laboratories.17:30 | Hau 1

Scoring for film is all about imagery – it not only helps to create the ambience of the film and its plot, but also to elicit the emotions of the characters. The transformative power of a score when com ­bined with images is quite amazing. It guides emotions and can signal a change in theme or mood, a quality in a particular character or lend landscapes a certain character­like quality. As Francis Ford Coppola stated, “Music is a big factor in helping the illusion of the film come to life.” And it is most effective when it works subtly, evoking and tuning the emotional response of the audience without them being aware of it. This is the craft of the sound composer – complementing dialogues, lighting, set­design and the montage of the film with music. Three emerging composers and finalists of the Campus Score Competition have spent the past week working on their scores under the guidance of Michael nyman. The three composers join him on stage to discuss the process of creating original music and weaving it seamlessly to moving images. At the end of the session, the winner will be presented the Score Competition Award 2011: a unique tour of the best sound studios in Los Angeles, sponsored by Dolby Laboratories.

Where things Come together:Campus Post-Production Studio PresentationPhilippe ros. Moderated by Christine tröstrum.In cooperation with Camelot Broadcast Services. 14:00 | Hau 3, top floor

The right blend of ideas and techniques can take your film places, but getting acquainted with technological aspects of film­making can be quite intimidating. The Campus Post­Production Studio is a technical hands­on training programme geared to assist Talents in learning practical filmmaking techniques with the latest digital work­flow equipment and the guidance of prominent cine mato graph ers and post­production experts. 24 Talents chosen to work with expert practitioners in the Digital Workflow segment were able to shoot and experiment with digital cameras like Sony F3 and ARRI Alexa and digi­tal post­production processes including editing, grad ing, master ing and data management. Philippe Ros will present the final outcomes of this bustling post­production hub.

Cutting on the edge: Campus editing Studio PresentationSusan Korda, Paz Lázaro, florian Weghorn. Moderated by Kevin Murphy. In cooperation with dffb.14:00 | CinemaxX 17

That extra little insight and input is sometimes all it takes to polish a rough­cut and strengthen the narrative structure of a fiction or documentary project. Internationally renowned editors join the Campus Editing Studio to give advice and feedback that will help take films that extra distance. Selected participants will present excerpts from their rough­cuts and describe how the one­day session in the editing room provided fresh insights and approaches to their projects. In conversation with Susan Korda, the participants will explain the challenges they identified within their rough­cuts and the various approaches that were tried and tested in the Editing Studio.

Often the editing process can drag on longer than expected, and film festival submission deadlines are fast approaching. When is a rough­cut polished enough to present to festival programmers? Paz Lázaro, Programme Manager, Berlinale Panorama, and Florian Weghorn, Co­Director, Berlinale Generation, will join the conversation and share their experiences when viewing rough­cuts during the programming process. The discussion will turn to when and how to present a rough­cut, as well as shedding light on the expectations of programmers when they select a rough­cut for screening.
