Volkswagen Supports Budding Screen Stars - VWVortex

Wolfsburg/Berlin, GERMANY - As a principle partner of the 58th Berlin International Film Festival, Volkswagen has once more pledged its support to the promotion of aspiring young talents. The company is sponsoring presentation of the European Shooting Stars award at the Berlinale.From February 9 to 11, nine European shooting stars will be showcased at the Berlinale film theatre. All were selected by a top-class jury from among 22 national nominations received for the Best Newcomer award. Past winners have included Daniel Brühl, Heike Makatsch and Daniel Craig.German actress Hannah Herzsprung is one of the nine finalists of 2008. She is already a recipient of the 2007 Bavarian Film Prize for her first cinema role in Chris Kraus’ "Four Minutes" and also last year received the German Film Prize as Best Supporting Actress in Alain Gsponer’s "Life Actually". Hannah Herzsprung is currently on the film set of "The Reader", a motion picture based on the novel by Bernhard Schlink, in which she is cast alongside Kate Winslet.During their stay in Germany’s capital for the Berlinale, the nine nominees will be driving around town in Volkswagen’s own shooting star, the Tiguan. (The Tiguan has been sold out since it first went on sale.) Volkswagen Sound Foundation will also be supporting the European Shooting Stars closing party by providing four T5 Caravelles for the event.On 9 February, the nine aspiring young talents will meet up with two superstars from the worlds of music and photography when Volkswagen invites them to take part in an exclusive photo shooting with Seal and star photographer Jim Rakete at the historic post office building at Gleisdreieck.
