TEDDY TODAY
AND THE WINNERS ARE . . . Die internationale TEDDY-Jury aus acht schwul-lesbischen Filmemachern und Queer-Filmfestival-Organisatoren hat Filme aus allen Berlinale-Sektionen gesichtet, die in einem schwulen, lesbischen oder transidentischen Kontext stehen. Der TEDDY wird in den Kategorien Bester Spielfilm, Bester Dokumentarfilm und Bester Kurzfilm mit einem vergeben, jeweils verbunden mit einem Preisgeld von 3000 Euro. The eight members of the international jury - filmmakers and organisers of queer film festivals - view the films within the framework of all programs of the Berlinale which have queer context. Three films are nominated for each category and one receives a TEDDY for best feature film, best documentary film and the best short film, each with a cash award of Euro 3,000.
