For over 30 years -long before Cannes and Venice decided to finally create their own queer-centric awards- the Berlin film festival has consistently recognised the very best LGBTQ+ genre, awarding a \u2018Teddy\u2019 to films that shine a light on diversity. Berlinale has been a launching site for some of the world\u2019s most iconic LGBTQ+ cinema. Its 2018 version was, of course, no exception.<\/p>\n

Stichting art.1\u2019s director, Chris Belloni, attended the festival and met with up and coming film makers, industry insiders and festival representatives from around the globe in the search for films that will undoubtedly set the tone for international LGBTQ+ representation, and be centrefold in the community\u2019s advocacy and visibility.<\/p>\n

Berlinale 2018 played host to a whole new spectrum of international queer cinema that promises to dive deep into the sexual politics of both mind and body across a range of cultures.<\/p>\n
