Language, shared language, the language of film is the focal point of the 22nd edition of the Berlinale Talents initiative

In the vast universe of filmmaking, language goes beyond the spoken word. It's the visual poetry, the silent narratives, and the nuanced expressions that shape the cinematic experience. Berlinale Talents 2024 delves into the intricate web of communication within the realm of cinema, exploring the diverse and evolving languages that filmmakers use to convey stories.

From the revolutionary introduction of sound in the 1920s to the present day, where words and images dance together on the screen, the cinematic language has constantly evolved. It has offered filmmakers not only new means of expression but also the challenge of navigating a vast landscape of communication – from profound understanding to delightful misunderstandings.

This edition of Berlinale Talents embraces the essence of 'Common Tongues' — the shared lexicons and dialects that connect filmmakers across cultures and time periods. It celebrates the richness of expression, whether it's the universal language of visual storytelling, the poetic dialogue between characters, or the nuanced soundscape that amplifies emotions.

Aspiring and seasoned filmmakers participating in Berlinale Talents 2024 will embark on a journey to decipher, explore, and expand the languages of cinema. From the screenplay to the final edit, from the director's vision to the audience's interpretation, each element contributes to the vibrant conversation that is cinema.

Berlinale Talents continues to be a beacon for emerging talents, fostering a community where the diverse languages of cinema converge, creating a symphony of voices that resonates globally.

Happy filmmaking!
