Since 2024, Master Classes with international directors and producers presenting their films in various sections at the Berlinale have been an integral part of the HESSEN TALENTS programme. After organising an extensive accompanying programme last year with Lola Arias, Sarnt Utamachote & Klaus Salminen, Katharina Pethke and Michael Fetter Nathansky & Virginia Martin, this year we are looking forward to five Master Classes with eight filmmakers who will be presenting their films at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival.
