Berlin has long been a city of refuge and opportunity, attracting filmmakers from diverse regions seeking creative freedom and a supportive community. This talk will explore the unique experiences of transnational filmmakers who have found a home in Berlin.
We will delve into personal storytelling, examining how filmmakers from different cultural backgrounds have used their experiences to create powerful and authentic narratives. We will also discuss the challenges and opportunities that arise from cross-cultural communication and collaboration.
Finally, we will explore Berlin's role in shaping transnational filmmaking practices. Is Berlin really a supportive and unique environment to experiment, grow and find your voice?
