Berlinale - Katharina Stark is one of the "European Shooting Stars"
Actress Katharina Stark ("Deutsches Haus") will be one of the "European Shooting Stars" at the upcoming Berlinale. The 25-year-old was named on Thursday together with six European actresses and three other colleagues by the European Film Promotion.
With this programme, the organization invites ten promising talents to the International Film Festival in Berlin every year. A special program during the Berlinale (February 15 to 25) is designed to help them present themselves, raise their profile and build a network within the industry. Meetings are planned with international casting agencies, talent agents and production managers, for example.
Stark, who lives in Munich, began acting as a child and trained at the Otto Falckenberg School. She performed at the Münchner Kammerspiele and appeared in front of the camera for films such as "King Laurin", "Luna", "Dead Girls Dancing" and television productions. Most recently, she played the leading role of translator Eva Bruhns in the mini-series "Deutsches Haus".
In the opinion of the "European Shooting Stars" jury, she plays "an emotionally charged and demanding role with ease". The depth of the character is conveyed through a restrained and convincing performance.
In addition to Stark, the jury selected Thibaud Dooms (Belgium), Margarita Stoykova (Bulgaria), Suzy Bemba (France), Salome Demuria (Georgia), Éanna Hardwicke (Ireland), Valentina Bellè (Italy), Džiugas Grinys (Lithuania), Kamila Urzędowska (Poland) and Asta Kamma August (Sweden).
Former German "Shooting Stars" include Daniel Brühl, Anna Maria Mühe, Moritz Bleibtreu, Jella Haase, Albrecht Schuch and Emilio Sakraya. Leonie Benesch took part last year.

Stark's selection as a "European Shooting Star" is a significant opportunity for her career, as it will allow her to showcase her talent at the renowned Berlinale Festival in Berlin, Germany. The Festival's "Shooting Stars" program is designed to provide promising actors with a platform to present themselves, raise their profile, and build connections within the movie industry.
Berlinale is not the only famous festival in Germany, as Bavaria also hosts the Munich Film Festival. Many stars and movie productions visit both cities, making them vibrant scenes for the European film industry.
The European Film Promotion recognizes several stars each year, and past recipients of this honor include well-known actors from Germany and other European countries like Daniel Brühl, Anna Maria Mühe, and Leonie Benesch. Stark joins this prestigious group and follows in the footsteps of her fellow "Shooting Stars."
German productions like "Deutsches Haus" and international collaborations continue to put Germany on the map as a player in the global film industry. With productions like "Dead Girls Dancing" and television series such as "Deutsches Haus," Stark's name is becoming increasingly recognized in European and international movie scenes.
In 2023, Stark will be representing Europe on the red carpet during the Berlinale Awards, where she'll have the chance to mingle with celebrities, film industry professionals, and fellow European actors and actresses.
The talent scouts and casting directors from international agencies who attend the Berlinale will have an opportunity to discover the diverse talents from across Europe at this year's event, including Katharina Stark, the "Shooting Star" from Bavaria, Germany.
