Yesterday the Berlinale came to a close with the Audience Day and the 38th TEDDY AWARDS are behind us, as well. We would like to give you a short review of a fantastic award ceremony and after-show party.
It was an honor to make our contribution with the 38th TEDDY AWARD and to share a rainbow of queer joy, visibility and community with you.
We would like to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to our partners and sponsors, without whom the TEDDY would not be possible in this form:
