In another Asian-Berlin exchange program, Oscar-winning Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto (The Last Emperor) will attend next year’s Berlinale Talent Campus to mentor the event’s Score Competition, in which three young composers and/or sound designers score a short film excerpt and record it with the Babelsberg German Film Orchestra. The winner wins a trip to L.A. top sound studios.

The Berlinale Talent Campus celebrates its 10th anniversary next year, when it will play host to 350 up-and-coming film talents from around the world.
