The tourists are delighted by Ren\u2019s physical similarity to the screen actor Leslie Cheung and are happy to pay for a photo with him \u2013 or to get drunk with him. When a young woman joins this polyamorous couple, things are no different at first and an open, three-way relationship would seem possible. Together, Li Qi, Ren Yu and Bai Ling set out to test the limitations of a restrictive society as well as their own sexuality. But then, something happens that rocks the protagonists to the core and will have a deep and lasting effect on them &#8230; Director Hu Jia portrays a generation that would appear to move casually between tradition and a courageously alternative way of life. The film\u2019s unusual setting is compelling from the word go. Largely without dialogue, this drama instead relies on small gestures that are full of meaning. The film\u2019s quietly explicit images tell a tale of love, sex, trust and brutality \u2013 providing a picture of everyday life in China that is seldom seen on the big screen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201719583_4-min.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-2871 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201719583_4-min-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"OK_201719583_4-min\" width=\"433\" height=\"288\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">13.02. \/ 20:00 CinemaxX 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 14.02. \/ 22:45 CineStar 3<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 15.02. \/ 20:15 Cubix 8<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 18.02. \/ 22:30 CinemaxX 7<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;color: #008000\"><strong>Bones of Contention<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nBones of Contention<\/p>\n<p>USA 2017<br \/>\n75&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Andrea Weiss<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Andrea Weiss about her film BONES OF CONTENTION\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KeMrLLXWGss?start=226&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">There are 120,000 victims of Franco\u2019s regime buried in the unmarked mass graves that stretch for kilometres alongside Spain\u2019s country roads. One of these victims is the world renowned Spanish author Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca, who was shot and killed by the fascists during the early days of the Spanish Civil War. The mystery that surrounds the exact location of his remains has made him a symbol for those seeking to remember and disclose the hidden stories of gays and lesbians under Franco, people who continued to be subjected to violent repression long after the end of the dictatorship. Spain is today one of the most progressive countries when it comes to homosexuality, and yet the nation still refuses to account comprehensively for its dark past before a court of law. Andrea Weiss\u2019 sensitive film gives a voice to the victims from the LGBTIQ* community. Her documentary tells their stories and their struggle for clarification, justice and human rights as well as their continued efforts to provide those who were murdered and \u2018disappeared\u2019 with a dignified burial. Impressive archive material documents this repressed history which finds a painful echo in Lorca\u2019s poetry and music<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201718062_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-2805 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201718062_1-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"201718062_1\" width=\"405\" height=\"277\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">15.02. \/ 17:00 CineStar 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 16.02. \/ 22:30 CineStar 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 17.02. \/ 17:30 Cubix 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 18.02. \/ 12:30 CinemaxX 7<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\"><b><u>Call me by your Name<\/u><\/b><\/span><br \/>\nCall me by your Name<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Italy\/France 2017<br \/>\n130&#8242;,<br \/>\nDirector: Luca Guadagnino<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It\u2019s the hot, sun-drenched summer of 1983 and Elio is at his parents\u2019 country seat in northern Italy. The seventeen-year-old idles away the time listening to music, reading books and swimming until one day his father\u2019s new American assistant arrives at their large villa. Oliver is charming and, like Elio, has Jewish roots; he is also young, self-confident and good looking. At first Elio is somewhat cold and distant towards the young man but before long the two begin going out together on excursions. Elio begins to make tentative overtures towards Oliver that become increasingly intimate \u2013 even if, as Oliver says, \u2018one can\u2019t talk about such things\u2019. As the short summer progresses, the pair\u2019s mutual attraction grows more intense. Director Luca Guadagnino co-wrote the screenplay \u2013 which is based on the novel of the same name by Andr\u00e9 Aciman \u2013 with US director James Ivory and Walter Fasano. Guadagnino transposes the memories of the book\u2019s first-person narrator Elio into quietly atmospheric images. Besides the two main characters of this unexpected coming-out story (played by Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet and Armie Hammer) the film also boasts a third leading role in the shape of the seductive landscape.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2872\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"OK_1\" width=\"431\" height=\"287\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">13.02. \/ 21:30 Zoo Palast 1 <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\">14.02. \/ 12:00 CinemaxX 7 <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\">15.02. \/ 17:00 Cubix 9 <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\">17.02. \/ 17:00 Cubix 9 <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\">19.02. \/ 21:30 Zoo Palast 1<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">Casa Roshell<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nCasa Roshell<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Mexico\/Chile 2017<br \/>\n71&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Camila Jos\u00e9 Donoso<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Camila Jos\u00e9 Donoso, Roshell Terranova, Diego Alberico about the movie CASA ROSHELL\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jiyZApMy1EE?start=119&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">You\u2019d never know this is your home away from home. The surveillance camera outside shows a drab reception area and an unremarkable street in Mexico City; inside, the lights flash, but the tables are empty. Yet preparations are soon underway and fixed categories cease to apply: stubble is removed, make-up applied and strands of hair are teased into place; the camera is trained not on the men themselves, but what they see in the mirror. There\u2019s time for a lesson before the festivities get going, to practise walking, consider the letters of the alphabet, think about what sort of girl to be. Music plays, drinks are served and the last boundaries are suspended: those between man and woman, gay, straight and bi, past and present, reality and fiction. The people chatting at the tables or waiting before the darkroom are shot to resemble characters from a film, impossibly glamourous, which doesn\u2019t mean their stories aren\u2019t true. Whenever film stock replaces the digital images, it\u2019s like a symbol for the memories Casa Roshell contains, the spectres of all those who came here and no longer felt alone. No matter how small the utopia, the world outside can still catch up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201718999_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-2873 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201718999_1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"OK_201718999_1\" width=\"437\" height=\"246\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">10.02. \/ 20:00 Kino Arsenal 1<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 11.02. \/ 22:00 CinemaxX 4<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 13.02. \/ 22:00 Delphi Filmpalast<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 17.02. \/ 16:30 Akademie der K\u00fcnste<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">Casting<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nCasting<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Germany 2017<br \/>\n91&#8242;,<br \/>\nDirector: Nicolas Wackerbarth<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Nicolas Wackerbarth about his film CASTING\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f6zG5hw3CKs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For her first television film \u2013 a remake of Fassbinder\u2019s Die bitteren Tr\u00e4nen der Petra von Kant \u2013 director Vera wants the perfect cast. But the first day of shooting is fast approaching and the numerous casting sessions have yet to find a suitable actress to play the leading role. Although the producer and crew are getting ever more exasperated with Vera, Gerwin is happy about the extra work, as he earns his money as an audition reader, delivering the lines of dialogue to the starry candidates at the various castings. When the male lead suddenly has to back out, Gerwin thinks that this might just be his chance. Director Nicolas Wackerbarth captures the complex essence of Fassbinder\u2019s film and simultaneously creates a profound work of his own. Casting takes an unflinching look at the murky depths of human relationships driven by power, passion and desperation. Yet Wackerbarth also brings bitter truths to light about power relations and dependencies in the German television industry almost in passing. Casting is both intelligent and entertaining, marked by exciting turning points, humour and the breathtaking acting performances by a truly virtuoso ensemble.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201713383_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-2807 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201713383_1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"201713383_1\" width=\"390\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">11.02. \/ 19:00 Delphi Filmpalast<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 13.02. \/ 11:00 CineStar 8<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 16.02. \/ 20:00 Colosseum 1<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 19.02. \/ 20:00 Cubix 9<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;color: #008000\"><strong>Ceux qui font les r\u00e9volutions \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 n&#8217;ont fait que se creuser un tombeau<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThose Who Make Revolution Halfway Only Dig Their Own Graves<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Canada<br \/>\n183&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Mathieu Denis, Simon Lavoie<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2018After twelve weeks of striking, assemblies, solidarity, arrest, protest, what do we get? Nothing.\u2019 As the 2012 &#8216;Maple Spring&#8217; student protest movement in Quebec slowly ebbs away, a dark storm of violence gathers. Driven by a growing sense of frustrated powerlessness and a longing for a new life, Klas Batalo, Ordine Nuovo, Tumulto and Giutizia form an avant-garde splinter group. Their deep-rooted hostility towards the prevailing social order finds an ambiguous political expression in acts that include guerilla pranks and throwing Molotov cocktails. Using powerful imagery shaped by a century of political aesthetics, the film is a collage of scenes and documentary fragments that makes the isolation of the four protagonists tangible. In the course of a path formed by ideals and doubt, we witness their radicalism as it increasingly turns inwards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201710923_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-2808 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201710923_1-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"201710923_1\" width=\"422\" height=\"288\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">12.02. \/ 20:00 HKW<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 13.02. \/ 14:30 CinemaxX 3<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 18.02. \/ 20:00 HKW<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Chavela<\/strong><\/span><\/span><br \/>\nChavela<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">USA 2017<br \/>\n90&#8242;,<br \/>\nDirector: Catherine Gund, Daresha Kyi<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Catherine Gund and Daresha Kyi about their film CHAVELA\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aVyzyHmNdv8?start=121&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Singer Chavela Vargas gained a name for herself firstly in Mexico and later worldwide chiefly for her interpretation of traditional rancheras. These songs were mainly composed by men and mostly speak of unfulfilled love for women, world-weariness and loneliness. Chavela performed them with her own unique feeling for rhythm and her distinctively rough and yet vulnerable voice. Her masculine appearance and red poncho made her unmistakable. In Acapulco, which in the 1960s was the playground for the rich and famous in the world of politics and culture, she rubbed shoulders with many celebrities, turning the heads of Frida Kahlo and Lana Turner with her charm and striking beauty. After a 13-year break from performing brought on as a result of her addiction to alcohol she was rediscovered in the 1990s and enjoyed a glorious comeback as the muse of artists and directors such as Pedro Almod\u00f3var. The unpublished material in this film, as well as the interviews with Chavela herself and her contemporaries, colleagues and partners have resulted in an affectionate portrait of a charismatic and exceptional artist &#8211; who was openly lesbian throughout her life until her death in 2012 at the age of 93.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201715194_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-2874 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201715194_1-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"OK_201715194_1\" width=\"272\" height=\"374\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">10.02. \/ 20:00 CineStar 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 11.02. \/ 14:30 CineStar 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 12.02. \/ 14:30 Colosseum 1<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 16.02. \/ 22:30 CinemaxX 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 18.02. \/ 17:00 CineStar 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 19.02. \/ 20:00 CineStar 7<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;color: #008000\"><strong>Como Nossos Pais<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nJust Like Our Parents<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Brazil 2017<br \/>\n102&#8242;,<br \/>\nDirector: La\u00eds Bodanzky<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with La\u00eds Bodanzky and Maria Ribeiro about the film COMO NOSSOS PAIS\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zaDgzhQKYqo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Rosa is in her late thirties.

Legends, families, political alignments, cinema: none offer a stable foothold and Carri\u2019s passage through them is like wandering a garden of forking paths, only to arrive at a landscape of cracked earth and thorns. Carri\u2019s narration is anyway not what it might once have been, a mother doesn\u2019t tell things the same way as a daughter. Legends, families, political alignments, cinema: each produces images and these are what appear on the screen, in one channel, three channels, five. It\u2019s all material plucked from an archive and a wonderfully eccentric one at that: news reels, ads, home videos, interviews, movies, abstract forms.

This elliptically edited story, which revolves around a man who can no longer be described as young, is accompanied by an eerie soundscape. Filmmaker Alex lives in a van. He sets up his camera in rural areas in the US and in the no-man\u2019s land near highways. During a visit to his alcoholic mother one day she shares with him a well-kept secret. There is also a small boy, with whom Alex develops an unexpectedly close relationship. Director Mathews chronicles a modern day gay existence in the West \u2013 from anonymous sex to heterosexual porn in a sex bar cabin, or as a service in a motel room. A small house and a life on the margins of society. Meanwhile, on the radio, we are treated to a steady stream of rightwing slogans against everything that is not white and heterosexual, here in Texas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201712774_19351_Panorama__PressePromoWeb-min.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2876\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201712774_19351_Panorama__PressePromoWeb-min-300x128.jpg\" alt=\"OK_201712774_19351_Panorama__PressePromoWeb-min\" width=\"483\" height=\"206\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">11.02. \/ 22:30 CinemaxX 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 12.02. \/ 17:45 CineStar 3<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 13.02. \/ 20:15 Cubix 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 13.02. \/ 20:15 Cubix 8<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 14.02. \/ 22:30 Colosseum 1<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 15.02. \/ 20:00 International<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Dream Boat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><br \/>\nDream Boat<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Germany 2017<br \/>\n92&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Tristan Ferland Milewski<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Tristan Ferland Milewski about his film DREAM BOAT\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U391OVpSxZU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">One week on a cruise ship, with parties, fun and new friendships. The all-gay clientele on board discuss topics such as identity, the body beautiful and the search for sex. Every evening is dedicated to a new theme, challenging the passengers to ever more extravagant, body-hugging outfits. In the cabins however, the talk is more than skin deep as the men open up about their private lives. Marek, a young Polish man just wants to be accepted and loved as a human being and not just because of his taut body. Dipankar from India has just recently come out; he and Palestinian Ramzi are revelling in the kind of freedom they can only dream about in their homophobic societies back home. Martin is HIV positive and ponders hedonistic ways, while Philippe from France observes the proceedings on board serenely from his wheelchair. In his feature film debut director Ferland Milewski succeeds in providing a look behind the scenes of an ostensibly superficial world. His humorous approach helps him create a genuine bond with the protagonists who talk openly about gay desires, free love and good old-fashioned monogamy.<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201713990_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-2877 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201713990_1-300x217.jpg\" alt=\"OK_201713990_1\" width=\"429\" height=\"310\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">11.02. \/ 14:45 Colosseum 1 <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\">12.02. \/ 14:00 International <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\">17.02. \/ 12:30 CinemaxX 7 <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\">18.02. \/ 20:00 CineStar 7<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\"><strong>EMO the Musical<\/strong><\/span><\/span><br \/>\nEMO the Musical<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Australia 2016<br \/>\n94&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Neil Triffett<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Jordan Hare, Neil Triffett and Jack Anthony about the film EMO THE MUSICAL\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3YCcIj9r2tU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2018How do we know you\u00b4re for real?\u2019 \u00b7 \u2018I tried to hang myself at my last school and they expelled me.\u2019 \u00b7 \u2018Welcome to the band.\u2019 After receiving a Special Mention for Best Short Film from the Generation Youth Jury in 2014, this love story full of irony and exhilaration has now been given the feature-film treatment. Ethan, a sensitive and depressed Emo boy with suicidal tendencies, plays hard doom and gloom rock with the likeminded, in a band where good moods are strictly taboo. Ever chipper classmate Trinity for her part prefers to use her sweet voice to sing praises to the Lord in her Christian youth group. Trinity and Ethan, nobody will ever understand this unlikely match, let alone accept it! And yet that&#8217;s exactly what came to pass when their two paths crossed for the first time.

A young man on a footbridge, a bus departs, his friend is gone. This is followed by a majestic parade through a shopping centre. This central shot in the film is a fragile balancing act between documentary observation and subtle direction. Deliberately asynchronous sound serves to heighten the sense that events are nothing more than a construction of an apparently familiar reality. The boy&#8217;s melancholic bearing, and the way the film unfolds, are embedded in an extremely expressive, albeit narratively minimalistic, dramaturgy of colour. Vibrant colours introduce each individual sequence: blue, green, yellow, orange, red.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201715310_2-min.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-2890 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201715310_2-min-300x162.jpg\" alt=\"OK_201715310_2-min\" width=\"381\" height=\"206\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">12.02. \/ 22:00 CinemaxX 3<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 17.02. \/ 16:30 CinemaxX 3<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 18.02. \/ 12:00 Colosseum 1<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 19.02. \/ 16:00 International<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">Fluid\u00f8<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nFluid\u00f8<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Germany 2017<br \/>\n80&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Shu Lea Cheang<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is the year 2060 and AIDS has been eradicated. However, in some, the HIV virus has now mutated into a gene from which a drug can be produced that has become the white powder of the twenty-first century. A virtual scanning system enables the secret police to identify anyone who carries this gene. Meanwhile, elsewhere, young men are hooked up to a system of cables and ordered to produce sperm for the production of pharmaceuticals that will dominate the market. Filmed in Berlin, Taiwan-born multimedia artist and filmmaker Shu Lea Cheang\u2019s science fiction dystopia revolves around a struggle to gain control over the production and exploitation of bodily fluids. Her film is like an orgiastic opera; a breathless round of bodies, secretions, performances and sexual acts often performed in the service of an overriding economy. An unusual, largely experimental and deliberately parapornographic drama in which the borders between the sexes as well as homo-, hetero, bi, trans- or intersexual are constantly blurred.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201716692_1-min.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-2879 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201716692_1-min-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"OK_201716692_1-min\" width=\"417\" height=\"278\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">14.02. \/ 22:45 CinemaxX 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 15.02. \/ 20:15 CineStar 3<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 16.02. \/ 22:45 Cubix 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 16.02. \/ 22:45 Cubix 8<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">Freak Show<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nFreak Show<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">USA 2017<br \/>\n95&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Trudie Styler<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Trudie Styler about her film FREAK SHOW\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cNc_QNFN6I8?start=253&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Being fabulous, no: being relentlessly fabulous is damn hard work.

The communication between father and son reflects their adverse living and working conditions, the father\u2019s utterances mostly being restricted to terse criticism of his son. Johnny\u2019s grandmother plays her part stoically. A frustrated Johnny endures his strenuous daily routine. In a bid to escape the harsh daily grind, he has nostrings sex with men, or gets drunk at the local pub. In the spring, a farm hand is taken on for the season. Romanian Gheorghe is the same age as Johnny, who at first eyes him with suspicion. The initial tension between the two men soon gives way to an intense relationship. This opens up completely new prospects but also presents new challenges for Johnny. In his feature-length debut, Francis Lee finds authentic images to depict farm life as one of privation. His film concentrates on the looks and gestures of his characters and their physical proximity. The archaic landscape of \u2018God\u2019s own country\u2019 as the locals call their county, perfectly reflects the turmoil going on inside the protagonists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201711895_17561_Panorama__PressePromoWeb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2817 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201711895_17561_Panorama__PressePromoWeb-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"201711895_17561_Panorama__PressePromoWeb\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">11.02. \/ 14:30 Cubix 9<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 14.02. \/ 20:00 CinemaxX 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 15.02. \/ 22:45 CineStar 3<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 16.02. \/ 20:15 Cubix 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 16.02. \/ 20:15 Cubix 8<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 18.02. \/ 12:00 Zoo Palast 2<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">I Am Not Your Negro<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nI Am Not Your Negro<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">France\/USA\/Belgium\/Switzerland 2016<br \/>\n93&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Raoul Peck<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In June 1979 renowned US writer James Baldwin began work on his last, unfinished text \u2018Remember this House\u2019.

Raoul Peck has turned these thirty hitherto unpublished pages into a powerful collage of archive photographs, excerpts from films and newsreel footage: the boycotts and the resistance against racial segregation in the 1950s and 1960s, the invisibility of black Americans in Hollywood\u2019s legendary works, the AfroAmerican protests against white police brutality that continue to take place even today, Baldwin\u2019s complex relationship with the Black Power Movement and one FBI report\u2019s paranoid view of Baldwin\u2019s homosexuality. A trenchant and disturbing essay about the reality of the lives of African Americans \u2013 lives that are still largely ignored by America\u2019s mainstream.

In swinging San Francisco she meets three remarkable women: a cheeky Hungarian named Dominique who sneers at the German work ethic and offers to help Dorothee in her research; Susie Sexpert, a specialist in sexual pleasures who has an astonishing collection of dildos, and finally the attractive Ramona, who performs a hot strip as a drag king in a lesbian bar.

Unwashed dishes are piling up in the sink and supermarket onigiri are all there is to eat again. Tomo\u2019s single mother usually comes home late, and drunk. When she leaves her daughter for good one day the girl has to rely on help from her uncle, who takes in Tomo to live with him and his girlfriend Rinko. At their first meeting Tomo is flabbergasted to discover that Rinko is a transsexual. Rinko immediately sets about taking care of Tomo; not only does she lovingly prepare meals but she also succeeds in creating a new home for the girl. But before long cracks appear in their perfect nest. As in her last film Rentaneko (Panorama 2012) Japanese director Naoko Ogigami offers another story about finding a way out of one\u2019s loneliness; in the case of Tomo and her new family the solution is a mixture of human warmth, good food and the symbolic act of knitting. In quietly concentrated images the film portrays non-normative sexuality as a natural way of life and describes the value of families that are defined not by convention but by a loving, caring environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201712228_17183_Panorama_Special_PressePromoWeb-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2836 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201712228_17183_Panorama_Special_PressePromoWeb-1-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"OK_201712228_17183_Panorama_Special_PressePromoWeb (1)\" width=\"474\" height=\"317\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">10.02. \/ 12:30 CinemaxX 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 15.02. \/ 18:30 Zoo Palast 1<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 16.02. \/ 10:00 CinemaxX 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 17.02. \/ 14:00 Cubix 9<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 19.02. \/ 15:30 Zoo Palast 1<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">Kometen<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThe Comet<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Victor Lindgren about his film KOMETEN\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fWUzdninkbI?start=2&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Sweden 2016<br \/>\n11&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Victor Lindgren<br \/>\nCast: Abdi Aziis<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The sea.

But sexual contact, never mind the \u201cunspeakable vice of the Greeks\u201d as their Plato professor calls it, remains taboo. For fear of being ostracised, like one of their classmates, they keep their love secret. Later, after Clive has made a marriage befitting his station, they maintain a purely platonic friendship. When Maurice begins a relationship with the Durham\u2019s gamekeeper, it seems as if he has found happiness &#8230; Following their Oscar-winning turn with A Room with a View (1985), the team of James Ivory and Ismail Merchant took on this second film based on a book by E.M. Forster; although the novel had been written in 1913\/14, it could not be published until after his death in 1970. In melancholy tones, the film deals sensitively with the grief of a forbidden love. The rigorously detailed production design precisely captures the Edwardian zeitgeist, while at the same time, the exquisite composition of the camerawork reveals the narrow-mindedness of a society in which prudery and hypocrisy rule. \u2013 World premiere of the digitally restored 2K DCP version.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201703049_1_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2837 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201703049_1_1-1024x644.jpg\" alt=\"201703049_1_1\" width=\"474\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">13.02. \/ 19:00 CinemaxX 8<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 17.02. \/ 11:30 CinemaxX 8<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Mein wunderbares West-Berlin <\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nMy Wonderful West Berlin<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Germany 2017<br \/>\n97<br \/>\nDirector: Jochen Hick<br \/>\nCast: Romy Haag, Maximilian Lenz, Ades Zabel<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Jochen Hick about his film MEIN WUNDERBARES WEST-BERLIN\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OAq_plLcTFk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In West Berlin in the 1960s it was possible to find bars where men could be left to themselves \u2013 a fact that was to turn the city into a magnet for young gay men. The protagonists of this film, all still active members of the community today, recall those early years in the city. Theirs are memories of a community that fought steadily for its existence and for change, right up to the fall of the Wall. Faced with considerable social repression in the 1970s, a collective gay identity began to emerge, and the \u2018West Berlin homosexual campaign\u2019 called for the abolition of paragraph 175 and the overthrow of patriarchy. Ruined buildings become the venues for new ways of living together such as all-male communes or the \u2018queer house\u2019. Cottaging, East-West affairs, leather bars, drag performances in the subway \u2013 an anarchic kind of joy outshines past suffering. A decade later, AIDS was to hit Berlin. After Out in Ost-Berlin (Out In East Berlin) Jochen Hick explores queer lifestyles in the West of the city and the roots of a fascination that the metropolis still holds as a refuge \u2013 and not just for gay men. A fascinating journey through time featuring previously unpublished archive material.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201710598_1-min.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-2881 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201710598_1-min-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"OK_201710598_1-min\" width=\"418\" height=\"278\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">11.02. \/ 17:00 International <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\">12.02. \/ 12:00 CineStar 7 <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\">13.02. \/ 14:30 Colosseum 1 <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\">18.02. \/ 22:30 CineStar 7<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">Min Homosyster<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nMy Gay Sister<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with LIA HIETALA about her film MIN HOMOSYSTER\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FYY89aSTEL0?start=19&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Sweden\/Norway 2017<br \/>\n15&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Lia Hietala<br \/>\nCast: Juliette Safavi, Tina Pourdavoy, Erika A.

As if Valerie Solanas had directed an episode of \u2018Schoolgirl\u2019s Report\u2019, Bruce LaBruce\u2019s latest piece of shenanigans revolves around a utopian world without men. The Canadian director, experienced Berlinale guest and Teddy award-winner (for Pierrot Lunaire) serves up a merry, anarchic dance in which political slogans fall as trippingly off the tongue as religious acclamations.

She is working as a waitress and adores singing. Her lover, twenty years her senior, has left his family for her. One night, when they return home after having exuberantly celebrated Marina\u2019s birthday at a restaurant, Orlando suddenly turns deathly pale and stops responding. At the hospital, all the doctors can do is confirm his death. Events follow thick and fast: Marina finds herself facing a female police inspector\u2019s unpleasant questions, and Orlando\u2019s family shows her nothing but anger and mistrust. Orlando\u2019s wife excludes Marina from the funeral; she also orders her to leave the apartment \u2013 which on paper at least belonged to Orlando \u2013 as soon as possible. Marina is a transgender woman. The deceased\u2019s family feels threatened by her sexual identity. With the same energy she once used to fight for her right to live as a woman Marina, with head held high, now insists on her right to grieve. Even if her environment conspires against her, the film at least is entirely on her side, showing us a protagonist who, although increasingly side-lined, is nonetheless strong and worldly-wise \u2013 a truly fantastic woman.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Una-mujer-fant\u00e1stica_201712954_1_filmstill_-1-min.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2853 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Una-mujer-fant\u00e1stica_201712954_1_filmstill_-1-min-1024x451.jpg\" alt=\"Una mujer fant\u00e1stica_201712954_1_filmstill_ (1)-min\" width=\"474\" height=\"209\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">12.02. \/ 22:00 Berlinale Palast<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 13.02. \/ 12:30 Zoo Palast 1<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 13.02. \/ 15:00 Friedrichstadt-Palast<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 13.02. \/ 21:30 Odeon<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 13.02. \/ 22:30 International<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 19.02. \/ 19:00 Berlinale Palast<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">The Party<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThe Party<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Great Britain 2017<br \/>\n71&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Sally Potter<br \/>\nCast: Patricia Clarkson, Bruno Ganz, Cherry Jones, Emily Mortimer<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 28\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Janet ist gerade zur Ministerin im Schattenkabinett ernannt worden \u2013 die Kronung ihrer politischen Laufbahn.

Bill platzt mit gleich zwei explosiven Enthu\u0308llungen heraus, die nicht nur Janets Existenz in den Grundfesten erschu\u0308ttern. Liebe, Freundschaften, politische U\u0308berzeugungen und Lebensentwu\u0308rfe stehen zur Disposition.

Their bodies are different to those of other people; be it the mouth, the left side of the face, the texture of the skin or the feeling that your legs don\u2019t belong to your body. They all live and love hidden away in strangely artificial interiors. As \u2018freaks\u2019, they rarely go out onto the street. A confrontation with the rest of the world could have fatal consequences. Director Eduardo Casanova\u2019s strictly symmetrical, pink and purple world is populated by \u2018deformed\u2019 people that include the fat, the small, and a woman born without eyes who works as a sex worker. Spanish director Casanova\u2019s episodic feature-length debut is an extension of his previous shorts. Making use of deliberately artificial images he explores the lives of those who, living on the margins of society, are rarely granted places in which they feel secure. However, their situation is not as hopeless as it at first seems, and beauty is a term that is redefined at least once during the course of the film.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201715685_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-2883 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201715685_1-300x125.jpg\" alt=\"OK_201715685_1\" width=\"473\" height=\"197\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">11.02. \/ 21:30 Zoo Palast 1<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 12.02. \/ 12:45 CinemaxX 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 13.02. \/ 17:00 Cubix 9<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 18.02. \/ 22:45 Cubix 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 18.02. \/ 22:45 Cubix 8<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 19.02. \/ 22:30 Colosseum 1<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">La prima sueca<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nSwedish Cousin<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Agustina San Mart\u00edn and In\u00e9s Barrionuevo about their film LA PRIMA SUECA\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-MYD5jmTnCk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Argentina 2016<br \/>\n20&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: In\u00e9s Mar\u00eda Barrionuevo, Agustina San Mart\u00edn<br \/>\nCast: Mar\u00eda Paula Mattio, Cecilia Valenzuela Gioia, \u00c1mbar Taborda Ceballos, Nazarena Garc\u00eda<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It&#8217;s not long to go until Cata&#8217;s 15th birthday and she&#8217;s getting more nervous by the day.

Although she was married off at a young age \u2013 as was customary in Taiwan in the 1970s \u2013 and had two children, she quickly divorced her violent husband and brought up her daughters alone. Since then her only relationships have been with women who, like her, earn a living as professional mourners at funerals. One of her daughters is filmmaker Hui-chen Huang. It\u2019s considered taboo in Chinese culture to question a mother\u2019s unconditional love, and yet this taboo is exactly the topic of Huang\u2019s intimate portrait. Mother and daughter set off on a journey together into the past during which Anu is confronted by questions that have tormented her daughter for years. In a series of long shots the two women discuss such topics as trust, abuse and cognisance, and yet most of these discussions end in painful silence. Shifting focus in order to plumb the depths of the topic, the director attempts to understand her mother by also talking to her mother\u2019s siblings and ex-lovers. In doing so she paints a picture of changing living conditions for three generations of women in Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/01\/OK_201710814_1-min.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-1795 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/01\/OK_201710814_1-min-300x164.jpg\" alt=\"OK_201710814_1-min\" width=\"410\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/01\/OK_201710814_1-min-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/01\/OK_201710814_1-min-1024x561.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">10.02. \/ 22:30 CineStar 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 11.02. \/ 17:30 Cubix 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 16.02. \/ 20:00 CineStar 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 17.02. \/ 14:30 CineStar 7<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">Richard the Stork<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n\u00dcberflieger \u2013 Kleine V\u00f6gel, gro\u00dfes Geklapper<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Reza Memari and Toby Genkel about the film RICHARD THE STORK\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eopok9Q2e4E?start=394&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Germany\/Belgium\/Luxembourg\/Norway 2016<br \/>\n84&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Toby Genkel<br \/>\nCast: Tilman D\u00f6bler, Christian Gaul, Nicolette Krebitz, Marco E\u00dfer<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">`What kind of a sparrow are you?\u2019 \u00b7 \u2018I\u2026I am a stork.\u2019 When Richard awakes one fall morning to find himself alone in his stork nest, he&#8217;s aghast.

Unfortunately, there&#8217;s one inconvenient truth: Richard is in fact a sparrow and not at all equipped with what it takes to complete such a long-distance flight. On his voyage across Europe, he encounters a whole cast of winged oddballs, including Mafiosi crows and high voltage pigeons, as well as the helpful owl Olga and karaoke-loving parakeet Kiki, who are both blessed with brilliant ideas.

William was Yance Ford\u2019s brother; his murder in 1992 threw his family into a state of shock. Their devastation came about not just because this young Afro-American man was shot and killed by a white car mechanic for an apparently trifling reason, but also because of what was to follow. Ford\u2019s subjective camera tells the story of a black middle-class family in America, a country which was, and still is, characterised by injustice and racism. His film is a puzzle, the pieces of which cannot be put together. Interweaving personal essay, detective investigation and documentary interviews with friends and relatives, he succeeds in painting a personal and political picture of the mood of this unequal country during the Obama era. Ford\u2019s concentrated, often minimalistic cinematic language describes simmering anger, grief and his own transgender coming out \u2013 as well as the relativity of equal opportunities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201714846_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2826 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201714846_1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"201714846_1\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">12.02. \/ 17:00 CineStar 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 13.02. \/ 22:00 CineStar 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 14.02. \/ 13:30 International<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 16.02. \/ 17:15 CineStar 3<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 18.02. \/ 17:30 Cubix 7<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">Ulrike\u2018s Brain<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nUlrike\u2018s Brain<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Germany\/Canada 2017<br \/>\n55&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Bruce LaBruce<br \/>\nCast: Gertrude Stammheim, Susanne Sachsse, Jonathan Johnson, Saskia Timm<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Referencing sixties B-movies like They Saved Hitler\u2019s Brain and The Brain That Would Not Die, Ulrike\u2019s Brain finds Doctor Julia Feifer (Susanne Sachsse) arriving at an academic conference with an organ box.

Who goes to the Baltic coast in the autumn? Nobody except Martin and Andreas. They come here every year and, every year, their son Max is a bit taller, and their own faces a bit older. This time Martin is fed up. The weather\u2019s unpleasant and he\u2019d much rather have stayed at home. Andreas on the other hand tears off his clothes and jumps into the freezing sea. A worried Martin tries to stop him and, stumbling, gulps down the salty water. Back at their holiday home the mood is weighed down by their different expectations of how they should spend their holidays together. What do they have left after all these years? So many films about relationships end at the point when the couple have found each other. For director Chris Miera however this is precisely the moment when the interesting stories begin. What is the force that causes two people out of billions to decide to spend so much of their lives together? And what makes couples decide to part after such a long time? These are the questions that Ein Weg (Paths) sensitively investigates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201711633_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2827 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/201711633_1-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"201711633_1\" width=\"474\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">13.02. \/ 19:30 CinemaxX 3<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 14.02. \/ 12:00 Colosseum 1<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 14.02. \/ 21:00 CinemaxX 1<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">Weirdos<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nWeirdos<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Bruce McDonald about his film WEIRDOS\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ewPXb4N9xZA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Canada 2016<br \/>\n84&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Bruce McDonald<br \/>\nCast: Dylan Authors, Julia Sarah Stone, Molly Parker, Allan Hawco<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2018I am a weirdo.\u2019 \u00b7 \u2018Honey, she is a weirdo, too. We are all weirdos. That\u2019s what makes us beautiful.\u2019 In laconic black-and-white, Bruce McDonald tells the humorous story of two adolescent runaways, Kit and Alice. On the eve of the 1976 United States Bicentennial, the film accompanies the two hitchhikers on a turbulent journey through the breathtaking landscape of the Canadian east coast, set to a quintessentially 1970s soundtrack. While Kit wants to start a new life in his glamorous but unstable mother&#8217;s artist commune, Alice makes no bones about her longing for romance. Yet in the glow of the crackling campfire of a beach party, they both reach new insights that put their relationship to the test. Likewise, the day following their joyous reunion sees Kit and his mother facing up to some uncomfortable truths.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Holdfast-Pictures-Inc-Lithium-Studios-Productions-Inc-Shadow-Shows-Inc..jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2828 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Holdfast-Pictures-Inc-Lithium-Studios-Productions-Inc-Shadow-Shows-Inc.-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Holdfast Pictures Inc, Lithium Studios Productions Inc, Shadow Shows Inc.\" width=\"474\" height=\"198\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">14.02. \/ 15:30 Zoo Palast 1<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 15.02. \/ 15:30 Filmtheater am Friedrichshain<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 16.02. \/ 14:00 CinemaxX 3<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">Wilde Maus<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nWild Mouse<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Austria 2017<br \/>\n103&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: Josef Hader<br \/>\nCast: Josef Hader, Pia Hierzegger, Georg Friedrich, J\u00f6rg Hartmann<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Josef Hader about his film WILDE MAUS\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PVnr5wTw9r8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Georg feels confident and at ease in his position as a member of a Viennese newspaper\u2019s editorial staff. He is both loved and feared \u2013 as befits an established music critic who wields a sharp pen. But then he is suddenly made redundant. A cost-cutting measure, he is told \u2013 before being shown the door. But instead of telling his young wife Johanna, whose thoughts currently revolve around her desire for children and her next ovulation, Georg is out for revenge. He finds an ally in giving vent to his anger at his ex-boss in the shape of an old school friend, Erich. What begins with minor property damage soon turns into a campaign of all out terror. At the same time, Georg and Erich have a go at trying to revive a dilapidated rollercoaster in Vienna\u2019s Prater amusement park \u2013 the legendary \u2018wild mouse\u2019. In his directorial debut, cabaret artist and actor Josef Hader tells a funny, dramatic story about the Austrian middle-classes\u2019 private fears of failure and social decline. A witty and ironic film that reflects on how a bourgeois life can go awry \u2013 and then perhaps manages to get back on an even keel after all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_wilde_maus_201712958_1_filmstill-min.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2885\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_wilde_maus_201712958_1_filmstill-min-300x113.jpg\" alt=\"OK_wilde_maus_201712958_1_filmstill-min\" width=\"467\" height=\"176\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">11.02. \/ 22:00 Berlinale Palast<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 12.02. \/ 15:00 Friedrichstadt-Palast<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 12.02. \/ 18:30 Toni &amp; Tonino<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 12.02. \/ 19:00 Haus der Berliner Festspiele<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 13.02. \/ 09:30 Haus der Berliner Festspiele<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #008000;text-decoration: underline\">The Wound<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThe Wound<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">South Africa\/Germany\/Netherlands\/France 2016<br \/>\n88&#8242;<br \/>\nDirector: John Trengove<br \/>\nCast: Nakhane Tour\u00e9, Bongile Mantsai, Niza Jay Ncoyini<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with JOHN TENGROVE, CAIT PANSEGROUW and NAKHANE TOUR\u00c9 about the film THE WOUND\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j26zUseRWoM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Eastern Cape, South Africa. A lonely factory worker, Xolani, takes time off his job to assist during an annual Xhosa circumcision initiation into manhood. In a remote mountain camp that is off limits to women, young men, painted in white ochre, recuperate as they learn the masculine codes of their culture. In this environment of machismo and aggression, Xolani cares for a defiant initiate from Johannesburg, Kwanda, who quickly learns Xolani&#8217;s best kept secret, that he is in love with another man. Having first explored male circumcision in his short film IBHOKHWE, South African director John Trengove revisits this topic and other rituals of masculinity in his first feature. The tension that builds inexorably throughout the film derives on the one hand from the young Kwanda who increasingly calls into question the patriarchal codes of the initiation, as well as the unbearable crisis building in Xolani as he must choose between the traditional world that he knows, and his own fulfillment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201710148_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-2886 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/OK_201710148_1-300x178.jpg\" alt=\"OK_201710148_1\" width=\"416\" height=\"247\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #008000\">09.02. \/ 21:00 CinemaxX 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 10.02. \/ 22:45 CineStar 3<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 11.02. \/ 20:00 HAU Hebbel am Ufer (HAU1)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 19.02. \/ 20:15 Cubix 7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008000\"> 19.02. \/ 20:15 Cubix 8<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here you\u00b4ll find all films competing at the 31th TEDDY AWARD during the 67th Berlin International Film Festival from Feb. 09-Feb 19, 2017, enjoy.
