Thank you so much @berlinale @berlinaletalents for this tremendous opportunity ✨🎬 ・・・ Meet the 2023 Berlinale Talents! From February 18-23, 2023, Berlinale Talents welcomes 204 selected filmmakers to Berlin. The Talents were chosen from 3,295 applications from 68 countries. Many of the talents have already worked on renowned projects, with more than 40 who have been involved in previous Berlinale films.  They come from acting, cinematography, directing, distribution, film criticism, production, production and digital set design, screenwriting, sound design, film composition, film editing, and audience design. In addition to the summit, 40 Talents are also developing and presenting projects for cinema to virtual reality in the Talents Labs.  For the third time, Berlinale Talents and co-partner Mastercard are presenting the globally unique Talents Footprints - Mastercard Enablement Programme fellowship. This year, actor Honor Swinton Byrne (The Souvenir), Marene Arnold (Vice President Marketing & Communications Mastercard DACH) and Hania Mroué (Director Metropolis Cinema Beirut) have been appointed to the jury. The trio will select three applicants from the international Berlinale Talents alumni community who, beyond their cinematic projects, have initiated social organisations, cultural networks or educational programmes themselves. The three fellows will be supported by mentors and financial means for a period of one year. At Berlinale Talents, prominent creatives also provide highly exciting insights for the audience in public talks. In one such outstanding example, the Berlinale will welcome the crew (Todd Field, Cate Blanchett, Nina Hoss, Hildur Guðnadóttir) of the US feature film "Tár" at the HAU Hebbel am Ufer theatre on February 23, 2023.  #BerlinaleTalents2023 #YouMustBeJoking #humourinserioustimes
