Shooting Stars: Europe's Best Young Actors 2013

Shooting Stars is a yearly event that promotes young actors from Europe. This is a big deal, for the last 16 years, European Film Promotion that chooses who the Shooting Sta is, has picked Alicia Vikander, Carey Mulligan, Moritz Bleibtreu, Elena Anaya, Melanie Laurent, Domhnall Gleeson and many many more. The main aim is to "support and champion young European actors and provide them with professional contacts to help take them to the next big step in their international careers."
The 2013 Shooting Stars were chosen by the international jury: Italian actress and former SHOOTING STAR Alba Rohrwacher (Dormant Beauty), Bosnian director Jasmila Žbanić (Grbavica), German producer Bettina Brokemper (Nymphomaniac), UK casting director Jina Jay (Anna Karenina) and French film journalist Thierry Chèze (Studio Ciné Live).
The stars will have their three days of interviews and contact-making period during the 2013 Berlinale Festival. More information here.
