Teddy Awards (After party)<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Piffl Medien<\/p>\n

Standing proud alongside the Berlinale for 40 years, the teddies are a focal point of the queer film calendar, representing the finest LGBTQ+ cinema. Its programme honours the films and filmmakers who redefine narratives, change perspectives and give voice to people in the margins. After every award show, they throw the mother of all parties for the makers and shakers, bringing together the heart of the queer community under one roof.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

SP\u00c4TI RAVE\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"No Gravity Berlin <\/p>\n

Did you know Sp\u00e4tkaufs began in East Germany, specifically East Berlin, to provide service workers a late-night shopping option? Nowadays, they are unique transient spaces \u2013 more than a shop but not quite a bar \u2013 open to any and everyone. It\u2019s this spirit that Berlin-based crew No Gravity wants to harness, committed to making parties more accessible again and preserving rave culture, they bring the rave to the Sp\u00e4ti for all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pinky Promise: Acid Weimar<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Harry Eletson<\/p>\n

Inspired by the sexually liberated 1920s Weimar era, when a frivolous sexual appetite gripped the city by its haunches, the lavish sex positive party celebrates its 6th birthday, adding a dose of acid to the mix (metaphorically, of course!). If you don\u2019t know Pinky Promise, they throw renowned parties to make sex positivity more accessible. The dress codes encourage people to have fun and express themselves with colour \u2013 as opposed to the typical black Berlin club wear. Plus, there is also a decked-out play area for couples and friends, so you can find space to explore, connect and have fun..\u00a0<\/p>\n

IBB Prize for Photography<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Moritz Haase<\/p>\n

For the 19th year, the IBB Prize for Photography celebrates two artists, Jana Pressler (main prize) and Moritz Haase, who use photography to investigate temporal and physical realities, surface and space. Pressler\u2019s works \u2013 playful, sculptural, documenting objects and examining structures of perception \u2013 are well placed next to Haase\u2019s bold images that explore colour and abstract form.\u00a0<\/p>\n
