In 2006, the Talent Campus program will be in its fourth edition. In addition to the traditional courses focusing on the variables involved in film producing, the event will now include philosophy as part of the syllabus. For the organizers, the philosophical approach is one of the stages crucial to the development of a film.Talent Campus is a six-day program concomitant with the Berlin Film Festival, next to be held February 9 through 19. Those eligible include young professionals and students from every part of the world, in the fields of directing, script, production, art directing, photography, action, montage, and sound editing.
