The Dop Jacopo Caramella, CCS, has been selected for Berlinale Talents 2026, the prestigious professional development programme of the Berlin International Film Festival, taking place from 13 to 18 February.
Berlinale Talents is an international platform that annually brings together approximately 200 emerging creatives from around the world for a week of workshops, talks, panels, masterclasses, and networking opportunities with leading film professionals. The programme unfolds within the framework of the Berlinale, providing participants with tools for growth, exchange, and visibility in a global professional environment, alongside public workshops and discussions centered on the theme “Creating (and) Confusion – Cinema, Chaos and the Power of Discomfort.”
Participants become part of one of the largest and most interconnected film networks in the world, joining over 10,000 alumni worldwide and gaining access to unique opportunities for international collaboration and creative exchange.
The 200 Talents of 2026 were selected from 3,438 applications spanning 120 countries. Through a rigorous selection process, the cohort (comprising 110 women, 81 men, 3 non-binary individuals, and 6 who preferred not to disclose their gender) represents 15 distinct areas of film practice and reflects the Berlinale’s commitment to diversity and equality. Berlinale Talents spotlights filmmakers whose work addresses urgent issues, supports activism, employs innovative practices, has garnered international recognition, and more.
