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>Begr\u00fcndung der Jury:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c<\/em><span lang=\"en-US\"><em>Small Talk\u201d is\u00a0the director\u2019s courageous portrayal of her family story, which gives the audience an inside look at a culture we might not be familiar with.

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><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Interview with Naoko Ogigami about her film KARERA GA HONKI DE AMU TOKI WA\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sxyD5aE98lg?start=3&#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\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Statement of the Jury:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span lang=\"en-US\">The jury gives the special award to the film \u201eClose-Knit\u201c, a film which gives audiences a look into Japanese culture and the love of rainbow families through the eyes of an 11-year-old girl. Both the performances of the adults and the child actress are convincing and enjoyable. Filmmaker Naoko Ogigami\u2019s natural dialogues and her sense of humour make for a very special movie experience. Ogigami puts emphasis on unique details such as the knitted objects, beautiful cinematography and the universal appeal of an uplifting, yet realistic story.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>SPECIAL TEDDY AWARD<br \/>\nMonika Treut<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Special TEDDY Award goes to a filmmaker who contributed extraordinary merits for the characterization of queer film making over the years.

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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And the TEDDY goes to\u2026 Here, you will find all the winners of the 31.
