Forty years of the Teddy Award – four decades of queer cinema, courage, celebration, and change. In this feature, we look back at how a small sidebar prize at the Berlin International Film Festival grew into one of the world’s most important honours for LGBTQ+ filmmaking.
With reflections on its origins, its cultural impact, and some of the films and voices that shaped it, Teddy Award at 40 is both tribute and timely reminder: representation matters – on screen, and beyond it.
