The event, set to take place between 8 and 11 February 2019, during the 69th Berlin International Film Festival, will introduce the five actresses and five actors to the film industry, public and international press, helping them to get in touch with casting directors, producers and filmmakers through one-on-one meetings, and an awards ceremony at the Berlinale Palast, where each actor will be honoured with the ESS Award donated by Leysen1855.

For the record, since the first edition of the initiative, backed by Creative Europe - MEDIA, took place in 1998, a total of 303 European Shooting Stars have been selected, including names such as Alicia Vikander, Matthias Schoenaerts, Domhnall Gleeson, Alexander Fehling, Ruth Negga and Pilou Asbæk, to name a few.
