They are young, gifted and promise to offer European film their flourishing talent. For the 15th year, the European Film Promotion turns the spotlight to ten new Shooting Stars, and will introduce them to the industry and international press at the forthcoming Berlin Film Festival (February 9-19, 2012).
EFP member organisations have nominated 23 candidates for final selection by the jury of internationally established film industry professionals (see news). The Shooting Stars event is is part of the annual programme that is financially supported by the MEDIA Programme of the European Union and participating EFP-member organisations.

It was a real challenge choosing our ten favourites from such an interesting and high-quality group of nominees."
