Day: The TEDDY and the maiden"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The death and the maiden, love and death, l\u2019amour et la mort combine in a special way not only because of their similar sounds in French, the carnal-morbid language, the language of Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Sartre und Apollinaire. The death, the old man, the seducer on the one side and the girl, the youth, the beauty, the lust on the other. Not for nothing \u201cla petite mort\u201d, the little death, is a synonym for orgasm. It seems, opposites attract each other. At the latest since the AIDS-crisis in the 1980s this unheavenly metaphoric connection has turned into a life-threatening risk. The experiences of the early AIDS-years, the fear, the stigmatization, the exclusion became the trauma of a queer Generation. It has turned into a memory however, which is in danger of being forgotten by the younger generations. To prevent this, to prevent that the same mistakes are done a second time out of ignorance and to prevent that out of ignorance the most beautiful triviality becomes a victim of fear, it is even more important that also in this year movies deal with this topic.

A man describes how he was physically abused by his father because of his sexual identity. Gay men from across the social classes and regions of the country have their say and discuss the different conditions which determined gay life in Italy. There is a discomfiting and controversial discrepancy between the reality of the individual accounts and the media coverage. The latter often portrays gay people with a discriminatory irony or is manipulating, especially where intellectuals are concerned. With FELICE CHI \u00c8 DIVERSO, Gianni Amelio relates a gay history of Italy since fascist times. His analysis of social conditions is both moving and enraging and refuses to allow the audience to remain indifferent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Cubix 7, 5.30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/news.teddyaward.tv\/en\/video\/?a-z=1&amp;select=U&amp;id_film=546\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>UNFRIEND<\/strong><\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<em>(Unfriend)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cENEaX2MFCQ\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"UNFRIEND\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Unfriend_2-e1391438259145.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-496 alignleft\" title=\"UNFRIEND\" alt=\"Unfriend_2\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.teddyaward.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Unfriend_2-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>David lives with his grandmother.
