New Application Round
Opens for Berlinale Residency 2015/2016
The Berlinale Residency is
now in its third round. Until March 16, 2015, filmmakers, who have screened
their first films with success at international festivals and cinemas, may
submit feature films, documentary or cross-media projects which they are
currently developing. Eligible for selection are only those projects that
already have one producer in place.
The “Berlin 24/7” programme
Berlinale Residency invites three filmmakers to Berlin, where they will be able
to work on their projects from September 1 to November 30, 2015. Besides
individual meetings with script consultants and mentors from the film industry,
their producers will also be invited to Berlin for a workshop towards the end
of their stay. In order to find further co-producers and financiers, the
filmmakers and their producers will return to Berlin to participate in the
Berlinale Co-Production Market in February 2016.
“We are delighted that with the
Berlinale Residency programme we again have the opportunity to support not only
filmmakers but also producers in developing their film projects. The Residency
has already borne fruit, as can be seen in Sacha Polak’s film Zurich, which is
having its world premiere in this year’s Forum,” says Festival Director Dieter
Kosslick.
