30 international filmmakers from the Campus present their projects in the Berlin House of Representatives
 
At the Berlin House of Representatives—home amongst other events to the Co-Production Market and located across the street from the Martin-Gropius Building where the European Film Market is held—30 selected Campus filmmakers have the unique opportunity to present their projects to the festival public. In addition to participants busy advancing their feature film projects in the Doc Station and Script Station (in cooperation with FFA, SOURCES 2 and ZDF/ARTE), for the first time Short Film Station participants can also present their projects during this new initiative. On February 13, after an intensive period of script doctoring and pitching training during the Campus, these filmmakers present their first or second feature films, or in the case of short films their ideas and screenplays, to a public of visitors, producers, financiers and distributors interested in finding international business contacts and new cooperations. The initiative ends with one-to-one sessions between Campus participants and industry representatives to build networks and go into more depth with potential project partners.
