Each year, 40 filmmakers who apply with a project are selected for our Labs. Ten each attend the Doc Station, Script Station, Short Form Station and Talent Project Market, where they work intensely on honing and developing their projects with the help of our skilled and dedicated mentors, culminating in a presentation to industry professionals at the European Film Market.

We believe that artistic and creative values are the only criteria that should affect someone's ability to take part in Berlinale Talents. That's why, since we started out twenty years ago, we have aimed to help overcome the financial barriers for participants from low capacity countries. By making a donation, you can help us support the next generation of Talents to join the initiative and uphold our core values of inclusivity and equality.
