After a truly remarkable 2013 edition, Ciclope International Festival of Craft is getting back to Berlin on 6th and 7th November 2014, with a brand new venue and an outstanding line up of speakers and jurors that establishes this event as a must for creative professionals. In its 5th edition, Ciclope will continue honouring the art of execution in more than 20 categories including Direction, Visual Effects, Production Design, 3D Animation, Sound Design, Music Video, Mobile App and Live Experience, among others. 

Ciclope’s guest list of speakers and jurors gathers names such as Carlos Bayala (Global Creative Director at Mother, UK), Georges Bermann (Founder of Partizan, France), Ben Davies (Head of Broadcast at Droga5, US), Guido Heffels (co-Founder of Heimat, Germany), Davud Karbassioun (Head of Film at BBH London, UK), Johannes Ahlund (co-Founder of B-Reel, Sweden), Morihiko Hasebe (Executive Creative Director at Hakuhodo Inc., Japan) and Marisa Clifford (co-Founder of Pulse Films, UK), among many others.

Annually held since 2010, it has become a platform for directors, creatives, artists, producers, digital creatives and clients to share knowledge, network, be inspired and celebrate the best work.
