Osian’s-Cinefan is proud to announce the 3rd edition of Talent Campus organised in collaboration with Max Mueller Bhavan, the Berlin International Film Festival and Berlinale Talent Campus.

Talent Campus is a 5-day workshop where 50-60 young aspiring filmmakers will be invited to New Delhi to interact with renowned filmmakers and film professionals from India and abroad.

The aim of the workshop is to provide Indian and South Asian youth a forum for learning and sharing the process of filmmaking. Participants will benefit not only from the calibre and experience of the professionals involved, but also from the exchange of ideas among themselves. Areas of discussion will include screenplay writing, sound design, documentary filmmaking, production design and new digital aesthetics.

The 3rd Talent Campus India will take place between 17 and 21 July, 2006, as part of the Osian’s-Cinefan, 8th Festival of Asian Cinema (14-23 July). It is an integral component of our programme - Infrastructure Building for Minds and Markets – IBM².

In addition to attending seminars and workshops, the selected talents will have the opportunity to see the very best of Asian cinema being showcased during Osian’s-Cinefan 8.

Along with their application form, applicants are required to submit either a mini-film or excerpt from a film they have made, or a 3500 to 4500 word script by the 25th May 2006. The duration of this film or excerpt should not exceed 60 seconds. The formats acceptable for preview include VHS, VCD or DVD.
