Up-and-coming stars drive MINI at the International Film Festival in Berlin
Munich / Berlin. At the Berlin International Film Festival, as part of "EFP SHOOTING STARS - Europe's best young actors", ten up-and-coming European actors will be driving past the red carpet of the Berlinale Palast in MINI vehicles that they have designed themselves. With the motto "MINI Brings Talent", the ten European Shooting Stars Adèle Haenel ("House of Tolerance"), Anna Maria Mühe ("November Child"), Antonia Campbell-Hughes ("The Other Side Of Sleep"), Hilmar Guðjónsson ("Either Way"), Isabella Ragonese ("The First Assigment"), Jakub Gierszał ("Suicide Room"), Ana Ularu ("Outbound"), Bill Skarsgård ("Simple Simon"), Max Hubacher ("The Foster Boy") and Riz Ahmed ("Four Lions") chose their favourite look. Quotes that look to the future and individual icons decorate the cars, drawing attention to the creative potential of the young actors. The young Italian actress Isabella Ragonese, for example, decided on the trend-setting quotation "Lightness, Quickness, Exactitude, Visibility, Multiplicity" from Italo Calvino for her MINI.
