| Article: TEDDY Award Jury | The nine members of the international Jury - organisers of queer film festivals or gay/lesbian filmmakers - view those films within the framework of all programs of the Berlinale which are in a queer context. |
For the first time, the Czech Republic was on the jury with Ales Rumpel from Prague’s “Mezipatra Festival”, as was Argentina with Gaby Waisman, director of the new “Diversa Festival” from Buenos Aires. Germany was represented by Cologne’s women’s film festival “Feminale” and the “Queerfilm” festival from Bremen. President of the 2005 TEDDY jury was Michael Kutza, founder and director of the Chicago International Film Festival. The continuity in the field of queer filmmaking has again become evident - new works by five previous TEDDY-winners were running in the 2005 programme: by Jacques Martineau and Olivier Ducastel, (“Drôle de Felix”, 2000), Jennie Livingston (“Paris is burning”, 1991), Jochen Hick (“Ich kenn keinen – Allein unter Heteros”, 2003), Rosa von Praunheim (“Silence=Death & Positiv”, 1990) and two-time TEDDY-winner Constantinos Giannaris (“Trojans”, 1990 / “Caught Looking”, 1992).
