For eight years now, the Berlin International Film Festival has been promoting young talented filmmakers from around the world within the framework of the Berlinale Talent Campus. The Campus community now includes around 4,000 filmmakers from more than 130 countries. Many of the project ideas that we selected have resulted in internationally successful movies. With the series "Against the Current," the Berlinale Talent Campus presents 28 selected films that were made by former Campus participants during or after the Berlinale and have been successfully screened throughout the world at festivals and in movie theaters.
