PRESS INFORMATION
28th TEDDY AWARD 2014
on the occasion of the 64th Berlinale
FRIDAY, February 14th, KOMISCHE OPER BERLIN
28th TEDDY AWARD Ceremony and After Show Chill & Dance
The TEDDY AWARD is the most important queer film prize in the world. It is a
societal engaged political award, which is given to films and people, that
communicate queer themes and content on a large scale and contribute with this to
more tolerance, acceptance, solidarity and equality in society.
Within the scope of the International Film Festival the TEDDY will award the queer
film Award's, in the categories the best feature, the best documentaries / essay film
and the best short film, as well as the Special Teddy for artistic life's work given to an
outstanding personality. Movies from all sections of the International Film Festival
Berlin – most of them world premieres – compete every year for the TEDDY AWARD.
The line-up of the present TEDDY AWARD winners goes from international stardirectors such as: Pedro Almodóvar, Gus van Sant, Derek Jarman and Werner
Schroeter to international on-screen stars such as Helmut Berger, Joe Dallesandra,
John Hurt and Oscar-Winner Tilda Swinton.
The slogan of this year’s TEDDY AWARD is Celebrate Queer Icons! an acclamation
of the lives and works of gay men, lesbians, bisexual men and women, transgender,
closet queens and raging queers. From Valeska Gertto Divine, from James Dean to
Barbara Stanwyck, from Sergej M. Eisensteinto Virginia Woolf, we wish to
commemorate talented queers who have sought both to push back the frontiers of art
through their enigmatic and dazzling works and also simply to live (or sometimes only
to survive) as gay men, lesbians, bisexual men and women or as trans* in ‘normal’
society.
The TEDDY AWARD will also in this year be under the patronage of the Mayor of
Berlin Klaus Wowereit.

ARTISTS OF THE TEDDY AWARD 2014
The line-up of artists taking part in the 28th TEDDY AWARD gala in the Komische
Oper Berlin can now be revealed. Host for the evening is TV presenter and actor
Jochen Schropp.
Sven Ratzke is the new Hedwig! Hedwig and the Angry Inch featuring Sven
Ratzke is every inch as good as the original. Director and creator of ‘Hedwig’ John
Cameron Mitchell (2001 TEDDY winner with his film of the same name) describes
Ratzke as the best Hedwig he has ever seen.
Leading actress and singer Dagmar Manzel delights on stage with the Orchestra of
the Komische Oper Berlin. This 55-year old star, one of Germany’s most successful
actresses, winner of numerous awards including the German Film Prize, German TV
Prize and the Adolf Grimme Prize (a prestigious media award), to name but a few,
was already an established artist before she began her career as a singer.
Audiences love her.
Baritone soloist Günter Papendell, opera singer with the Komische Oper Berlin, is
well-known for his powerful and stirring voice. With Papendell’s performance of
Tchaikovsky’s Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt and images by Sergei M. Eisenstein,
TEDDY will be reminding Russia that two of its leading cultural figures were also gay.
TEDDY pays homage this year to Dusty Springfield one of the most outstanding
and successful women in music. Her career as a singer began with a political
thunderbolt when in 1964 she refused to perform to racially segregated audiences in
South Africa. In 1982, she married her girlfriend Teda Bracci in California. This year
Dusty would have been celebrating her 75th birthday.
Base Berlin is a talent pool that brings together young new artists from all directions,
developing spectacular and innovative performances. Initiator and creative director
Pierre Caesar appears together with the Canadian newcomer songwriter Lucien
Dante, the astonishing contortionist Jade Lee Petersen, and David Pereira and
Jack Woodhead with their programme Whipstick in the TEDDY Midnight Special. A
world-class performance from Berlin’s talent hothouse.
After the awards ceremony, it’s now traditional that TEDDY hosts the hottest party of
the Berlinale. On stage, reliving the flair of the 1920s and 1930s, the show features
the sensational burlesque dancer Katharina Lebedew, Sigrid Grajek mimes Claire
Waldoff, Joaquin la Habana is Victor/Victoria ... and in true Berlin style the organ
grinder churns out some tunes.
And for those who want to dance, creating the evening’s soundtrack for our guests
on the ground floor of the Komische Oper Berlin are DJs K.Jell, Joey Hansom and
Trust.The.Girl.

If that’s not enough, the party continues well beyond dawn. Our shuttle bus takes you
from the Komische Oper Berlin straight to the TEDDY AWARD Closing Party in the
SchwuZ nightclub, recently moved to Neukölln, featuring live act Nuclear Family and
a great team of DJs. Gala tickets include admission to this after-party.

events on www.teddyaward.tv
ABOUT THE TEDDY AWARD
TEDDY AWARD, the world's most renowned queer film award is an award for
political and social commitment. It supports filmmakers and films that are engaged in
queer issues on a broad social scale, thereby contributing to further tolerance,
acceptance, solidarity and equality in society.
The TEDDY AWARD is culturally significant, but it also bears political meaning and
responsibility. More than 30 years after the Stonewall Riots, we mustn't forget that
homosexuality is still considered to be a crime and even punishable by death in some
parts of the world, and even in cities like Berlin queers encounter homophobia on a
daily basis.
THE AWARD
The TEDDY AWARD is part of the Berlin International Film Festival. Awarded in the
categories of best feature, best documentary/essay film and best short. Every year a
unique individual is selected to be honoured with a Special-TEDDY AWARD for
outstanding artistic lifetime achievements. Films from all sections of the Berlin
International Film Festival - most of them world premieres or international premieres compete for the TEDDY AWARD every year. The list of former TEDDY AWARD
winners includes internationally acclaimed directors like Pedro Almódovar, Gus van
Sant, Derek Jarman and Werner Schroeter and international film stars like Helmut
Berger, Joe Dallesandro, John Hurt and Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton.
The TEDDY AWARD works on a non-profit level. It is financed through the
contributions of its sustaining members, patrons of the TEDDY registered
association, as well as through contributions from supporters, the commitment of
numerous volunteers and sponsors and the revenues from the award ceremony.
THE CEREMONY
More than 2000 guests from the cultural, financial and political realms will be
attending the TEDDY AWARD gala. The TEDDY AWARD gala is one of the
glamorous highlights of Berlin's cultural calendar, followed by the hottest party of the
Berlin International Film Festival.

BUT THERE'S MORE TO THE TEDDY AWARD THAN THAT
The TEDDY AWARD also sets the tone for gay and lesbian film festivals around the
world. Every year, more than 120 festival directors from all parts of the world gather
for the "programmer's meeting", the world's biggest coming together of queer festival
makers. Many of the festivals' representatives who take part in the programmer's
meeting face serious reprisal in their countries for their work. The TEDDY AWARD
takes these issues seriously and tries to support and protect these festivals. With the
support of the TEDDY AWARD, a gay and lesbian film festival took place for the first
time in St Petersburg last year. After years of pressure and prohibitions from the
Russian authorities during which the film festival could only take place in relative
secrecy at the St Petersburg Goethe Institute, the Russian media responded
positively when the festival finally came out of the closet. The TEDDY AWARD
recently committed similarly in Kiev, Jakarta and Sarajevo. The international
influence of the TEDDY AWARD helps countries to break social barriers and
integrate queer life into their societies.
EXCHANGE AND INFORMATION
Adding to its cultural and political goals, the TEDDY AWARD organizes different
panels for and in cooperation with international filmmakers during the Berlin Film
Festival in order to facilitate networking and discuss recent development in queer
filmmaking. Some panels are organised in cooperation with Talent Campus of the
Berlin Film Festival, shifting the focus away from programming and opening up to
new generations of producers, authors and directors. One point of the agenda will be
the establishment of an internet-based, centralised festival channel to provide and
improve information flow and news coverage.
TEDDY AWARD TELEVISION BROADCAST
The TEDDY AWARD gala, including the ceremony, various show acts and
discussions, will be recorded for television broadcast and DVD release. For the
seventh consecutive time, ARTE will broadcast a 90-minute version of the show as
part of their Saturday night programme. The TEDDY AWARD ceremony has the most
television viewers of any queer event in Europe.

THE TEDDY AWARD ARTWORK 2014
The artwork for the 28th TEDDY AWARD is taken – as it was last year – from the
portrait series Golden Queers by Berlin-based artist Rinaldo Hopf. Under the banner
Celebrate Queer Icons, the TEDDY AWARD will once again recall the life and work
of exceptional queer individuals. The aim is to commemorate talented queers who
sought both to push back the frontiers of art and to live (or sometimes only to survive)
as gay men, lesbians, bisexual men and women or as trans* in ‘normal’ society.
The design of this year’s TEDDY AWARD focuses on the avant-garde Berlin artist,
dancer, cabaret performer and actress Valeska Gert (1892-1978). In the 1920s and
1930s she was a well-known figure far beyond her native city of Berlin. In everything
she did, she was unstintingly modern and artistically uninhibited. Sexual,
geographical and societal boundaries were there to be transgressed. Valeska Gert
was an artist of exceptional modernity. Her avant-garde solo dance performances
were well ahead of their time and influenced the decades that followed.
THE TEDDY AWARD JURY 2014

QUEER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL. The festival has quickly grown to be the
