This weekend, the 58th annual Berlin International film Festival wraps up and, with it, the sixth annual Berlinale Talent Campus, a summit for 350 young filmmakers to attend lectures, classes and panel discussions and to work on their own projects in hands-on workshops. For the second year, the Talent Campus also featured a special program called the Garage Studio, a production platform for four lucky filmmakers to shoot and edit a short film for the Internet under the tutelage of master filmmakers and using amazing production resources. (Mike Figgis, the award-winning director of Leaving Las Vegas and Internal Affairs, was one such mentor.) The best part? You can see the final four films, plus behind-the-scenes footage from the Campus, right here: For more information on the Talent Campus, visit the website and think about applying next year - for any aspiring filmmaker, it is an opportunity not to be missed! Happy viewing, Sara P. YouTube film

YouTube musicians Gear Up for Grammys
The 50th annual Grammy awards on February 10 marks the final crescendo of our MyGrammyMoment contest. All 15 musicians chosen by your votes have been in L.A. this week rehearsing their orchestral contributions to the Foo Fighters’ song “The Pretender,” but only one will be selected to step out from the crowd as a featured soloist. And did we mention Led Zeppelin bass player and multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones will be conducting all this? This group of amazingly talented violinists, cellists and trumpet players from all over the U.S. has been having a whirlwind week in L.A., juggling rehearsals with the Foos and Jones with Grammy Foundation events (where they got to walk the red carpet and rub shoulders with Musiq Soulchild, Natasha Bedingfield and Jerry Lee Lewis). Friday’s rehearsal at the Staples Center gave them a chance to watch their fellow Grammy night stars tune up for the big show. (Wasn’t that Alicia Keyes who just passed by?) Peek in on the rehearsals, complete with jokes supplied by Dave Grohl and a Foo fan visit from Juliette Lewis: Tune in to the Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 10, to see all Top 15 YouTube instrumentalists in this once-in-a-lifetime performance; you can also vote right up until the performance for which talented ‘Tuber — Ann Marie Calhoun, Brian Fitzgerald or Tara Klein - should step out as a soloist. In addition, we’re featuring everyone’s audition video on the home page today so you can see what sparked this whole experience in the first place. Live from La-La Land, Michele K-Tel YouTube music

Politics Remixed
This video from Australian creator Hugh Atkins is burning up the viral charts, and with good reason: It put me in mind of another master of the genre, RX2049, whose It’s the End of the World video recently made the rounds on the blogs: Remixing media has proven popular with creators seeking to lampoon politics, to essentially unspin the spin. And with no shortage of video available on the Internets, chances are that this is just the beginning. -Kent, Yahoo! video Team

NBA All-Star Vlog Squad
This weekend marks one of the biggest moments of the basketball season with the NBA’s midseason showcase event: NBA All-Star. This year, the league’s brightest stars will be gathering in New Orleans, Louisiana, for various events, including the Dunk Contest, Skills Competition, Rookie Challenge Game, and, of course, Sunday’s All-Star Game. These events will be broadcast on TNT, but here on YouTube, we’ll have a unique slice of All-Star action. Two groups of intrepid students from the Laurel School, located in Orleans Parish in New Orleans, were given video cameras to document the rehabilitation of their outdoor courts and the re-opening of their gymnasium, all of which were damaged by Hurricane Katrina two years ago. NBA players Al Horford and newly-anointed All-Star David West will be on site to lend a hand to the students and volunteers. Here’s an interview with Horford at the unveiling ceremony: On Friday, another group of Laurel School students will be given special press access to the Rookie vs. Sophomore Game. All of the footage captured by these aspiring sports journalists will be living on the NBA channel and on the NBA Cares channel. So in-between the spectacular dunks and behind-the-back passes, log on to YouTube for a special behind-the-scenes look at All-Star in the Big Easy. Thanks, Andrew B. YouTube Sports
