Berlinale Talent Press 2012

Berlinale Talent Campus, Goethe-Institut and FIPRESCI organize at this year's Berlinale (February 9-19, 2012) for the 9th time the "Talent Press", an initiative within the Berlinale Talent Campus. This workshop allowes young critics to attend the festival (with a press badge), and to win experience in writing, on a daily basis, on one of the biggest film festivals of the world. Supported by renowned film-journalists (Derek Malcolm, Stephanie Zachariak, Chris Fujiwara, Dana Linssen, Oliver Baumgarten), they write reviews on films presented in various sections of the festival, compose features and report about the atmosphere of the Campus and interview both talents and experts. Articles of the participants are published daily on the website of the Berlinale Talent Campus and on the homepages of the Goethe-Institut and FIPRESCI.
