On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the TEDDY award<\/a>, the LGBT\/Q film award at the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale<\/a>) the Queer Academy<\/span> put on a Film Summit<\/span> to discuss queer archiving and queer film festivals in practice on February 17, 2016 at the Station Berlin,\u00a0 Luckenwalder Str. 4-6, 10963 Berlin. As a continuation of the discussion that was started at the Queer Film Culture: Queer Cinema and Film Festivals<\/a> conference in Hamburg in October 2014, the organizers invited me to moderate the panel on queer film festivals in practice.\u00a0 (See the program below or view the booklet online<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The Queer Academy<\/em> is an annual convention of international filmmakers and
\nfestival organizers in the gay-lesbian-transgender context (2015 figures: 180
\npersons\/institutions) at the Berlinale. The Queer Academy aims to establish
\nitself as an institute of queer cultural memory. The Academy will become an
\narchive of queer culture and history that binds together queer cultural productions
\nand cooperates with other organizations. Since memories are essential for
\nthe identity construction, the Queer Academy will offer an opportunity for queer
\npeople to form and find their identity in queer memory.<\/p>\n

PANEL 1: Re-imagining the Queer Archive<\/strong><\/p>\n

While researching for the TEDDY 30 retrospective, it only became too clear: Feature films, video art and amateur movies around the world are about to vanish and need to be restored, digitized and distributed. Archives are facing a challenge in order to prevent the analogue film stock from decay. Furthermore, it will be a crucial task to re-invent models of distribution to make our queer film heritage part of our cultural memory.<\/p>\n
