Since 2007 Berlinale Talents(until 2013 Berlinale Talent Campus) has been taking place in the theatre HAU Hebbel am Ufer. The HAU consists of three neighbouring venues, all located within walking distance to Potsdamer Platz, which integrate the Berlinale Talents even more cohesively with the ongoing events of the Berlin International Film Festival. The three buildings HAU1, HAU2 and HAU3 provide all the necessary amenities for the richly diverse Talents-programme.
The individual profiles of the three buildings fit very well the different requirements of Berlinale Talents. Not only the theatre stages but multifunctional spaces like the rehearsal stages or the foyers are used for different programme events. The representative building of the HAU1, the only theatre in Berlin that remained undamaged during the Second World War, is the place for the big, public events. HAU2, built in the 70s, proves to be the ideal place for special-interest workshops of an average size and it houses a restaurant as well. HAU3 has a very open and creative atelier atmosphere; it is the perfect space for the variety of Lab and Studio programmes where scriptwriters, producers, directors, sound designers, actors and distributors improve their skills and work on their own projects or case studies. With its annual dance- and theatre festivals and its dedication to contemporary subjects, the HAU became a leading centre for extraordinary art and a meeting place of international projects that transcend borders. Since 2012 the HAU is directed by Annemie Vanackere,
