Berlinale Industry Events

Wed Feb 18 17:00 – 18:30 Berlinale at Radialsystem
on-site only

In this fourth edition of the Teddy Talents Talks, a joint venture of the TEDDY AWARD, Queer Academy and Berlinale Talents, we invite four film professionals to reflect on the conceptual power of the queer form. How does queer cinema and us as creators, navigate the tension between ambiguity and transgression? Does that, what defies categorization, open the door to radical insight and play with this very disorientation to create new forms? By queering cinematic form, tracing new trajectories through heteronormative lines, perhaps we uncover a kind of brilliance that only emerges from the margins?
