APPLICATION GUIDE
The application process does not require you to send us any certified
or official documents. It does, however, take a bit of time. We
recommend you begin the application early and prepare your sample of
work with enough time to allow for things to be uploaded or, if
applicable, sent by post. On average, the application may take up to an
hour to complete.
Step 1)
Register for your log-in number and create a password.
With the log-in number you may access your application online through
the Berlinale Talent Campus website at any time and complete all
sections of the application until the deadline, October 8, 2008. FAQ
Note : You must select one field of work. This should be the
field in which you work primarily or in which you have the most
experience. The decision of the selection commitee will be based on how
you represent yourself in this field. This will also influence your
access to hands-on training if you wish to apply for any of those
programmes. It will not, however, influence your ability to visit a
wide range of programme events during the Campus.
Step 2)
Your log-in number and password will be sent to the
email address you have provided. Log in to the application via our
website, www.berlinale-talentcampus.de, and fill out the form by
providing all required information such as your contact details, a
filmography, and a short statement of motivation. Please upload a clear
picture of yourself. Your application must be completed by yourself and
in English. We do not accept team applications. You must finish the entire form by the October 8, 2008 Deadline in order for your application to be considered.
Step 3)
Depending on the field of work you have chosen, you
will be asked to submit a sample of work. A sample of work shows a
past, present or collection of project(s) you are involved in. It
should represent your strengths and style in your selected field of
work. For more information about what a sample may be, see our FAQ.
Please pay attention to the technical specifications provided in the
application form. You should upload your sample directly to the online
application form, or if you are submitting a sample on VHS, DVCAM or
miniDV because you can not upload, you should mail your sample to the
address below (also provided in the application form). Your sample must be uploaded or arrive BY the October 8, 2008 Deadline. This is not a postmark date.
Note: The sample of work you submit must correspond to the field of work you have chosen. You may only send one sample of work. Detailed information about the content and technical specifications of your sample is available in the application form directly once you proceed.
Step 4a)
OPTIONAL: There are further opportunities to participate in more intensive hands-on training. These programmes are:
Garage Studio,
Volkswagen Score Competition,
Script Station,
Doc Station
and
Talent Project Market.
Due to limited space, you must complete an additional form to apply for
these programmes, and you may only apply to a programme that
corresponds to your chosen field of work.
Step 5)
Ensure that your application and your hands-on training application (if
applicable) are complete, with sample of work, by the October 8, 2008 Deadline.
You will not receive a confirmation, however you can log in anytime to
check whether all sections of your application are complete.
Participants will be selected at the sole discretion of the Berlinale
Talent Campus. Applicants selected for participation will be informed
via email no later than January 15, 2009. You can log in at any
time after the application phase to observe your selection status.
There is no legal claim to participate in the Berlinale Talent Campus.
