iW NEWS | “Queen Raquela” Wins Top Teddy Prize
by indieWIRE (February 15, 2008)
Olaf de Fleur‘s “The Amazing Truth about Queen Raquela” won the Teddy Award for best feature film at the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival tonight in Germany, with Tanaz Eshagian‘s doc, “Be Like Others” winning both the jury prize and the Siegessaeule Reader’s Choice Award. The prize for best documentary went to David Assmann and Ayat Najafi‘s “Football Under Cover.” “This year’s documentaries overwhelmingly won the hearts of the Teddy Jury by approaching challenging and thought-provoking subjects in an accessible and effective manner,” said the jury, in a statement, “The most cinematic and gripping of them all subtly and humorously tackles gender-roles in sports in Islamic society.” Felipe Sholl‘s “Ta” won the Teddy for best short film.
