Brix Schaumburg, Host

We’re beyond excited to announce our host for the 37th TEDDY AWARD Ceremony on Feb 24th at Berlin’s Volksbühne: multi-talented Brix Schaumburg returns to the TEDDY stage to lead us through a night filled with entertainment, suspense, and lots of information about the queer Berlinale movies.

Brix Schaumburg

Brix Schaumburg is Germany’s first officially outed trans actor. If you’re looking for the ordinary, you’ve come to the wrong place. He is committed to a world without pigeonholes and labels. As a diversity coach, he advises companies and brands. With his very personal story and his commitment as a media person, he wants to sensitize, enlighten, promote discourse, and create more awareness in dealing with fellow human beings from the most diverse backgrounds. He is also active as an ambassador for the DGTI (German Society for Transidentity and Intersexuality), among others.

Berlinale goes Open Air

From June 15 to 29, the Berlinale presents some festival highlights from the February program in an open-air summer atmosphere. In cooperation with five Berlin open-air cinemas as well as the distributors of the respective films, films from various Berlinale sections will be shown on 15 evenings. The films will be introduced by the festival director or a Berlinale section head. Film team guests are also expected to attend some screenings.

The Teddy Award winners Nelly & Nadine and Mars Exalté as well as Starfuckers and Sublime can also be seen in the program.

The complete Open Air program can be found here at Berlinale.

TEDDY TODAY: 20.02.2022

Today marks the end of the 72nd edition of the Berlinale.

What a terrific time we had with all the film premieres, interviews and of course, the award ceremonies for the GOLDEN BEARS and the TEDDY AWARDS. In spite of all the restrictions we faced, we’re extremely happy to have been able to send a clear message to our community and beyond: no pandemic will keep us from celebrating queer talent, creativity and solidarity!

It has been a tremendous honour to be able to share this experience with you. May the next TEDDY AWARD edition be once again the glamourous event we’ve come to know and love.

Stay safe and stay optimistic – see you in February 2023! ❤️
