Description:

At the 76th Berlinale, with the European Shooting Stars programme, the European Film Promotion brings ten promising, versatile European acting newcomers to the festival each year. The goal is to help them make a name for themselves with the international press and audience and to build a network in the international film industry.

The actors take part in a tailor-made programme featuring high-profile press activities and curated meetings with international casting directors, talent agents and producers. The European Shooting Stars presentation at the Berlinale introduces the actors to an international audience of leading industry professionals.

The European Shooting Stars 2026 are: Fatlume Bunjaku (Albania), Lucas Englander (Austria), Violet Braeckman (Belgium), Salif Cissé (France), Enno Trebs (Germany), Danielle Galligan (Ireland), Tecla Insolia (Italy), Joes Brauers (The Netherlands), Sofia Tjelta Sydness (Norway) and Cleo Diára (Portugal).

Cleo Diára  is the star chosen to represent Portugal in the programme.

Cleo Diára was born in Cape Verde, before moving to Lisbon as a child and discovering a love for the theatre, a passion she has held ever since. Having performed under the guidance on many noteworthy directors in stage productions, she brings that same energy and authenticity to her screen performances, with a starring role in Pedro Pinho’s I Only Rest in the Storm (2025), which won Diára the Un Certain Regard – Best Performance award in Cannes 2025. Other noteworthy credits include the uniquely creative Diamantino (2018), while she’ll next be seen on Prime Video show Lisbon Noir, by Artur Ribeiro.
