BERLIN -- Film composers Zbigniew Preisner (Three Colors: Blue/White/Red) and David Holmes (Ocean's Eleven) have signed on as hosts of this year's Berlinale Talent Campus, the mini-film school event that runs concurrent with the Berlin International Film Festival, organizers said Friday. Preisner, who was twice nominated for a Golden Globe for his scores to Three Colors: Blue and At Play in the Fields of The Lord, was awarded a special Berlin Silver Bear for outstanding single achievement in 1997 for his music to Soren Kragh-Jacobsen's The Island on Bird Street. In addition to his work on Ocean's Eleven and the upcoming sequel Ocean's Twelve, Holmes composed the score for Gregor Jordan's controversial Buffalo Soldiers, which was shot almost entirely in Germany. Talent Campus organizers on Friday also announced they have selected 520 young filmmakers from 84 countries to attend this year's event. The group was chosen from more than 3600 applications. The theme of this year's Talent Campus is film sound and music. In addition to Holmes and Preisner, other hosts include director Anthony Minghella, sound and film editor Walter Murch, screenwriter/producer Eleanor Bergstein and directors Nicolas Philibert, Alan Parker and Wim Wenders.
