Teddy Award Commemoration
To mark the 40th anniversary of the Berlinale’s Teddy Award, the festival has released a commemorative poster series featuring past award-winning films and filmmakers. Among those recognized is Arthur Dong’s Coming Out Under Fire, included alongside works by trailblazers such as Barbara Hammer and Cheryl Dunye. Coming Out Under Fire has since been preserved and restored by UCLA Film & Television Archive and IndieCollect, and is currently distributed by Kino Lorber. More information about the release here.
