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

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.   

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! ❤️
