By Alissa Simon

LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – European Shooting Stars, a Europe-wide initiative to draw attention to up-and-coming performers coordinated by European Film Promotion, has launched many young actors into the international film scene. From Feb. 8-11, the 10 actors selected for the 2019 edition will participate in profile-raising workshops, as well as meetings with producers and casting directors, all designed to foster their professional networks. In addition, a roundtable will present three casting case studies: Anja Philip for “The Guilty,” Magdalena Szwarcbart for “Cold War” and Avy Kaufmann will discuss working with European co-productions.
