Selecting from amongst today’s best and brightest young actors across Europe, the jury will decide upon 2015’s ten European Shooting Stars, with results being announced this December.
The Shooting Stars event is financially supported by Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union and the participating EFP members.
The ten actors chosen by the jury next month will then be showcased to the international film community and entertainment media at the Berlin International Film Festival (Feb 5 – 15, 2015).
And 23 EFP member countries have nominated their emerging actors from their territory for the potential accolade of European Shooting Star 2015.

As part of this engagement, each Shooting Star will be offered a networking platform to support their international careers – meeting casting directors, talent agents, press and filmmakers from around the world.
The highlight of this three-day-event during the first weekend of the Berlinale will be the annual awards ceremony, whereby the film festival honours each actor with the Shooting Stars Award, presented by main partner TESIRO, on the main festival stage.
