Legendary casting director Bonnie Timmermann finally goes under the spotlight with an exclusive documentary featuring never-seen audition footage of all of today’s biggest stars and a refreshing take on what a casting director is, and more generally what is the essence of an actor and how a film is genuinely made.

From Bruce Willis to Natalie Portman, passing by Liam Neeson and Sigourney Weaver, meet the woman who shaped today’s TV and cinema and the pioneer who transformed society by giving minorities a shot and young generations new faces to look up to.

Before the "Bonnie" screening on the 22nd of November there will be an award ceremony for Black Nights Stars 2022.

Black Nights Stars is a program launched by the Black Nights Film Festival in 2017, designed to help young actors from the Baltic Sea region and Ukraine to gain international visibility and promote themselves inside and outside their home territories. ICDN is home to many of the world's most influential and high-profile casting directors of film and television and brings together casting directors throughout the world to network, connect, share information and help raise the profile of the profession.
