Last night the Berlinale Film Festival welcomed the European Shooting Stars of 2024 on stage alongside actress Corinna Harfouch.

The Award Ceremony, hosted by Jenny Augusta, serves as the grand finale of an exhilarating four-day program. During this event, the brightest young actresses and actors come together with casting directors to showcase their talents and are introduced to the international media. The ceremony is the pinnacle of an unforgettable experience, marking the culmination of hard work, dedication, and passion for the craft.

The Shooting Stars were presented in a grand ceremony that preceded the screening of Claire Burger’s highly anticipated film ‘Langue Étrangère.’ The event was held in the presence of renowned personalities and dignitaries from the film industry.
