How do you like Berlin? What is special about the city for you?<\/strong>
\nI adore Berlin and have been visiting the city quite regularly since I was 16. For me, it’s a sister-city to my home at Prague (and quite close to get there quickly) – but kinkier, more dynamic and mixed in what is there to experience expecially in the indie & queer scene, just the perfect place to be weird and enjoy that.<\/p>\n

How would you describe the Berlinale in one sentence?<\/strong>
\nWhere cinephiles, industry, emerging filmmakers, stars, friends and “wait-till-you-hear-about-my-new-project”-attention-hunters gather for ten days on an immensely fun and exhausting 10-day freezing hunt for films, caffeine and the one thing to remember after we all go home.<\/p>\n

What was your first encounter with the TEDDY AWARD?<\/strong>
\nIt was the same year I started programming and first visited Berlinale. Pretty much my whole schedule was quickly based on the TEDDY selection. Jake Yuzna’s Open<\/a>, one of my favourite ground-breaking queer films won the Jury Special Mention.<\/p>\n

In your eyes, what does the TEDDY AWARD symbolize? What does it stand for? What makes it unique?<\/strong>
\nIt symbolizes the merge of grand film festivals (such as Berlinale itself, Cannes, Venice, Sundance and so) and the distinctive place of specialized queer \/ lgbt film festivals – as a communication space between the two worlds as well as an appreciation for the role queer \/ lgbt films and filmmakers have (and should have) in the main spotlight. And this was a long battle, of which TEDDY AWARD is one the important pioneers.<\/p>\n

Tell us about a movie you’ve recently seen.<\/strong>
\nWolf of Wall Street<\/a> – pure orgy of what is the power of cinematic storytelling while rejecting the appeal to moralize that is often asked of artists. I tremendously enjoyed the film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
