Members of the Berlinale International Jury take the stage at the first public master class on Sunday, February 8 at HAU1, only a stone’s toss away from Potsdamer Platz, to kick off a series of events in which this theme will frequently recur. In this opening session Golden Bear winner Claudia Llosa (The Milk of Sorrow) will describe how her films echo from very specific local and indigenous cultural spaces, and star director Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan) will comment on how his protagonists activate the dramatic spaces in his films, for instance through dance. Monday, February 9 The Place for Space: HAU Hebbel am Ufer (HAU1) 2015: A Space Discovery Film gives motion to space and can also put spaces into motion. At Berlinale Talents, over 140 experts on space and cinema including Andreas Dresen, Ursula Meier, Joshua Oppenheimer, Joanna Hogg, The Yes Men, Wim Wenders and Bong Joon-Ho embark on an expanding six-day voyage of discovery. Most of today‘s movie screens are still flat surfaces, but within them open a cinematic universe of infinite dimensions and depths. This year’s edition of Berlinale Talents focuses on the theme “2015: A Space Discovery.” Technically and aesthetically, cinematic space is continually being reinvented, just as daily living spaces are tangibly being transformed by political and economic upheavals. With their roots firmly planted in their own local contexts, filmmakers are not lost in space and navigate across borders and in multiple dimensions. 04 Berlinale Talents 2015 Drama series writer, director and producer Matthew Weiner (Mad Men) leads a master class on how to create stories as catchy as good ad campaigns and characters as deep as the bottom of Don Draper’s glass of whisky. Later that day lauded director Ursula Meier, known for her films Home and Sister, joins Talents to grant further insights into working with professional and nonprofessional actors of all ages. Acclaimed DoP Peter Zeitlinger (Queen of the Desert) sheds light on his multiple collaborations with directors including Werner Herzog and Ulrich Seidl. Discussions on hybrid narrative spaces are honed in two cross media panels welcoming back, among others, Finnish director Timo Vuorensola who talks about Iron Sky Universe, the latest sequel of the sci-fi cult hit from Berlinale 2012. Tuesday, February 10 Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy-winning com poser Howard Shore (Maps to the Stars, Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies) will elaborate on how sound and score shape the visual worlds in which Berlinale Talents 2015 unforgettable stories unfold. The power of documentary to look back into history’s darkest episodes and create cinematic spaces of personal remembrance will be discussed by two celebrated documentary filmmakers, Joshua Oppenheimer (The Look of Silence) and Marcel Ophüls (The Mem ory of Justice). Movie screens open a universe of infinite dimensions and depths. Filmmakers are the creators of such spaces. Wednesday, February 11 Legendary German auteur Wim Wenders (Every Thing Will Be Fine) takes the stage in a joint event with the Deutsche Kinemathek to recount his illu strious career. How guerrilla filmmaking, armed with the weapons of humor, can document the hacking of both public and private spaces with political aims will be discussed by director Laura Nix (The Yes Men Are Revolting) and the activist duo The Yes Men. Film choreographer Francesca Jaynes and puppeteer Mikey Brett, both having worked with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity, will tackle how actors create movement in spaces beyond all limits. Thursday, February 12 On the final day of Berlinale Talents, in a discussion about films crossing borders, esteemed South Korean director Bong Joon-Ho (Snowpiercer) follows films from their local birthplaces to international audiences. As We Were Dreaming director Andreas Dresen, screenwriter Wolfgang Kohlhaase as well as bestselling author Clemens Meyer explore the short period when space seemed unlimited, 25 years ago in eastern Germany and in their latest film to be discovered in the festival. 05 Returners Returners Alumni at the Berlinale 2015 1 2 Øistein Refseth Producer | Out of Nature Elisabeth Moss Actor | Queen of Earth Berlinale Shorts Jowe Harfouche | Editor Twenty-Eight Nights a.

Physical space is dramatically activated and takes on scale and dimension by the movement of actors‘ bodies within it, and Sandra Bullock’s graceful floating and swimming through space in Alfonso Cua rón’s Gravity remains one of the most memorable images from last year’s cinema experience. Acting coach Jean-Louis Rodrigue will share his wide knowledge on body movement in cinematic space. Movement coach Francesca Jaynes and puppeteer Mikey Brett, both of whom worked with Bullock to simulate her character’s unfolding ordeal in zero gravity, refer to choreography and the mechanics of marionette puppetry to explain how they en abled a freedom of movement that would otherwise not have been possible.

Isona Admetlla, Vincenzo Bugno. In cooperation with World Cinema Fund. Innovative forms, fresh perspectives and local stories from across the globe are supported by the World Cinema Fund. Independent productions from regions with little access to funding, such as Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Central and Southeast Asia and the Caucasus, are its focus. Apichatpong Weerasethakul‘s Palme d’Or winning Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives is one of many successful films supported by the World Cinema Fund. Isona Admetlla and Vincenzo Bugno discuss the aims of the initiative, the breadth of works and regions considered and how filmmakers can apply with their projects. Bong Joon-Ho, Lorna Tee. Film is truly a universal language and medium, but that is not to say that there are not daunting obstacles to overcome when bringing films from their local birthplaces to international audiences. The films of a specific region often convey elements of the local or regional context: its cultural heritage, its social and political preoccupations, its genres and traditions and its ways of communicating and telling stories. Bong Joon-Ho, South Korean director of The Host and celebrated lately for his first English language film Snowpiercer, and renowned Asian producer Lorna Tee (Postcards from the Zoo) bring their rich experiences in making films that are successful for both local and international markets to this discussion. When developing stories intended to cross the cultural divide, what must be considered at the script level, when choosing production partners, cast and crew and when designing a distribution and marketing strategy?

In cooperation with Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg. The collapse of the Berlin Wall and the GDR was followed by a brief moment in time in eastern Germany where space seemed unlimited and freedom was an ideal to be tested and lived to the fullest. These feelings form the background for As We Were Dream ing, the Berlinale Competition entry directed by Andreas Dresen and adapted for the screen by Wolf gang Kohlhaase from the bestselling novel by Clemens Meyer. Representing three generations that personally experienced this electric time in the East, Dresen, Kohlhaase and Meyer will describe their process of adapting from memory to novel to screen a very loaded historical moment that lingers in the space of imagination of many Germans.
