Press release 26th TEDDY AWARD on 17 February at Tempelhof Airport, Berlin Complete programme for the awards ceremony and late night show
On 17 February 2012, Tempelhof Airport will host the celebrations for the winners of the TEDDY AWARD the queer film prize of the Berlin International Film Festival. Before an audience of over 3 000 guests, TEDDYs will be presented – now for a 26th time – for the best queer films drawn from all categories of the festival. The event will be recorded for broadcast on the Franco- German TV channel arte and on Berlin’s regional TV station rbb. Special TEDDYs will go to the exceptional German film director Ulrike Ottinger and the godfather of all superstars Mario Montez. According to John Waters, ‘Mario Montez was the first ‘SUPERSTAR’ ever! A Jack Smith goddess stolen away by Warhol. She lit up both directors’ screens and forever holds the highest position of royalty in the world of underground cinema.’ For the award, John Waters will appear live by videolink from Baltimore. Alongside the prizewinners, the evening will also feature a great programme of entertainment on the TEDDY stage including performances by vocal icons of two generations: Marianne Rosenberg and Peaches. Further highlights will be an elegant body performance by the upcoming artist from the Base Berlin team Mirko Köckenberger and wild electroclashrockpop sounds from the Franco-German duo Stereo Total. A further achievement to be celebrated is a recent success of the movement Trans Respect versus Transphobia. In October 2011, the European Parliament finally agreed to include persecution on the basis of gender identity as a recognised ground for seeking asylum. Invited expert to speak on this issue is Dr Nicolas Beger Director of the Amnesty International European Institutions Office in Brussels. Dr Beger is one of the European experts on the Advisory Board of the research project Trans Respect versus Transphobia worldwide (TvT). Following the award ceremony, the party continues with DJ sets by Modeopfer, Gloria Viagra and Marsmaedchen and, as a bonus this year, a second stage show. The fantastic TEDDY Late Night Show will feature on the main stage Peaches, Stereo Total and DJ newcomer of the year Alle Farben. Full programme details for the 26th TEDDY AWARD are set out on the following page. For enquiries please contact: Press officer: Anna Jacobi Telephone + 49 162 847 02 99 [email protected]
