The correspondent motto of this year’s Berlinale Talent Campus is ‘Cinema Needs Talent: Looking for the Right People’. This motto refers to an extremely important moment in filmmaking: teaming up with the right people. The pleasure of being creative and the quality of its results are closely connected to the people you are surrounded by.”
