Yesterday the EUROPEAN SHOOTING STARS 2018 were welcomed to the Berlinale Palast stage by former Italian Shooting Star Alba Rohrwacher – who just celebrated the world premiere of her new film DAUGHTER OF MINE in the Official Competition yesterday – and presented with the EUROPEAN SHOOTING STAR Award donated by longstanding partner Leysen1855. 
After a busy few days of networking events with casting directors, producers, industry insiders and introductions with international media, tonight's red carpet affair and awards ceremony is the thrilling highlight for these talented young actors.
Tonight's ceremony was held in the presence of Festival Director Dieter Kosslick and Monika Grütters, German Federal Government Commissioner of Culture and the Media.
The prominent talent programme, which is celebrating its 21st edition, is financially supported by the Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union and participating EFP member organisations.
