In 2012, the Perspektive Deutsches Kino section’s eleventh year, the Berlinale is launching the “Made in Germany - Perspektive Fellowship”, funded by Glashütte Original. The 15,000-euro fellowship is conceived to support emerging German directors in developing a film project, material and screenplay, and will be awarded to a talented new filmmaker from Perspektive Deutsches Kino. All of the directors who presented films in the Perspektive programme of the previous year can apply. “Again it is a matter of sustainability: we need to tap talent and provide support for follow-up projects. Fortunately, we will now be able to make this possible with Glashütte Original,” Festival Director Dieter Kosslick comments.
