The Shooting Stars Awards are presented annually by the pan-European network organization European Film Promotion (EFP) to emerging actors from Europe. "Shooting Stars" is an initiative of the EFP for the international promotion and networking of promising up-and-coming actors from the 37 EFP member countries. Since 1998, ten talents selected from all over Europe have been presented each year during the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) to the international press, the general public, and the film industry. The four-day programme culminates with the presentation of the European Shooting Stars Awards.[1]
Selection and programme
editThe EFP member organisations from a total of 37 European countries can each nominate one actor/actress aged between 18 and 32, who has been successful and already won awards in their native country.
An independent international expert jury selects the 10 best and internationally most promising talents to then be presented at the Berlinale to international casting directors, agencies, directors, producers as well as the international press and the general public and to also receive the European Shooting Star Award at the end of the programme.[2][3]
