I imagine that the 25th Anniversary party must be in full boom right now (have seen pics) but organizers had time to upload winners at their site and if you wish to check the news there go here or go to Berlinale official site here and scroll down to Teddy Awards. Winners are in *BLUE.

Can you believe that Teddy is 25! Time goes by very fast. Congratulations! As always most films are gay interest and for a change I’m going to use the classification that organizers use: Teddy Category, where each film is classified as L, G, Q, and T. These are the films that are competing for the Teddy Award.

To check films at the official site go here, for now film summaries are available only in German and if you want to read about each film you can go to the festival site where information is available in English. There are some quite interesting feature films that are of lesbian interest that definitively are must be seen for many that read this blog.
