The Talent Campus, the brainchild of Berlinale topper Dieter Kosslick, runs Feb. 10-15, giving young talent the chance to meet industry professionals to discuss strategies, challenges and opportunities.

The 36-year-old director made his international debut with "Xiao wu" (Pickpocket) at the Berlinale Intl. Forum of New Cinema in 1998.
