That’s Great!

Silver Bear for Dutch Talent.

Joram Willink, a talent on this year’s Campus, was celebrating after Vet!/ Great!, a short he produced, won the Silver Bear at Berlin Intern. Film Festival. "Sitting there in the ceremony you don’t expect anything at all," he says excitedly. "It was a complete surprise." Directed by Karin Junger and Birgit Hillenius, the film from Holland is a tale of a young girl and her first sexual experience.

So, did he celebrate in style? "We thought ‘champagne’ but they didn’t have any!" he explains. Still, while the lack of bubbly may have been a shame, the presence of a Silver Bear more than made up for it.
