The Berlinale Talent Campus celebrated its fifth anniversary Saturday night as established international talents including director Walter Salles, composer Jan Kaczmarek and last year's Golden Bear winner Jasmila Zbanic joined festival director Dieter Kosslick and campus director Dorothee Wenner in welcoming the 350 young filmmakers participating in this year's event.
The Talent Campus kicked off with the Berlin Today Award, which this year went to the short "Wasserschlacht -- The Great Boarder Battle" from directors Kasia Klimkiewicz and Andrew Friedman.
A documentary on the annual waterfight between two neighboring Berlin districts -- one in east Berlin, one in the West -- "Wasserschacht" was chosen by the Berlin Today jury of German directors Sebastian Schipper ("A Friend Of Mine" and Thomas Grube ("Rhythm Is It!") and author Wladimir Kaminer.
The Talent Campus -- this year in the new venue the Hebbel am Ufer Theatre (HAU) -- runs through Thursday and features discussions, lectures and workshops from film makers as varied as "the pope of trash" John Waters, Canadian actress Sarah Polley and Mexican star, and Berlinale jury member, Gael Garcia Bernal.
