Vernissage / C/O Berlin ‚Close Up!‘
Sunday 16th February – 3pm
This Berlinale 13 young photographers were given an extraordinary opportunity by C/O Berlin – a special pass allowing them to get up close and personal with the stars at special events and during the numerous red carpets of the festival. Their mission was to present the festival – stars, audiences, secrets and all – with their own unique view, giving them the chance to be a real photojournalist for ten, magical days and be entered into a competition to win some top of the range Canon photography equipment. This Sunday the results will be revealed in open exhibition ‚Close Up!‘ and judged by a specialist jury, who will select three lucky winners.
