Coming to Berlin from all over Europe the group of ten outstanding acting talents finally arrived today to start their busy days in Germany's capital.

Their tailor-made schedule of events include industry panels and meetings with casting directors, the international press, the jury and producers. Presented during the Berlin International Film Festival, the 26th edition of EUROPEAN SHOOTING STARS culminates in a glamourous awards ceremony at the Berlinale Palast on Monday 20 February, where each actress and actor will be honoured with the European Shooting Stars Award.
