filmmaker who loves football this is your chance. The Campus is

Australia - here we are talking about soccer.

or have English subtitles. All genres are acceptable: dramatic, 
documentary, animated or a mixture of any of the three. To qualify, 
you must have certified professional experience in the motion picture 
field (film school or experience on several productions).Please read 
the regulations at 
<http://www.berlinale-talentcampus.de/football>http://www.berlinale-talentcampus.de/football.

If your film is selected it will have outstanding exposure. It will 
not only be shown at the 55th Berlin International Film Festival (10 
- 20 February, 2005) but also at events of the official cultural 
programme of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany. You will be invited to 
the third Berlinale Talent Campus and for a week during the 2006 FIFA 
World Cup Germany.

Please note that the application deadline for the Football Short Film 
Competition is 15 September, 2004.
