The Queer Academy aims to establish<br \/>\nitself as an institute of queer cultural memory. The Academy will become an<br \/>\narchive of queer culture and history that binds together queer cultural productions<br \/>\nand cooperates with other organizations. Since memories are essential for<br \/>\nthe identity construction, the Queer Academy will offer an opportunity for queer<br \/>\npeople to form and find their identity in queer memory.<\/p>\n<h3>Summit Programme<\/h3>\n<p>10.00am\u00a0 Opening Wieland Speck, Berlin, Curator of the Panorama at the Berlinale<\/p>\n<p>10.15am\u00a0 Keynote: Bob Hawk, Film and Festival Advisor<\/p>\n<p>10.30am\u00a0 Keynote Jan-Christopher Horak, Los Angeles, Director of the UCLA Film &amp; Television Archive<\/p>\n<p>10.45am\u00a0 Panel 1: Re-imagining the Queer Archive<\/p>\n<p>PANEL 1: Re-imagining the Queer Archive<\/p>\n<p>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<p>Participants:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dr. Nanna Heidenreich, host, Institute for Media Studies, Braunschweig University of Art; Arsenal-Berlin, Forum Expanded, Berlin<\/li>\n<li>Alice Royer, Legacy Project Manager, Outfest Los Angeles; American Archive for Television and Film, University of California, Los Angeles<\/li>\n<li>Prof. Martin Koerber, Head of the Archive at the \u201cDeutsche Kinemathek \u2013 Museum f\u00fcr Film und Fernsehen\u201d, Berlin<\/li>\n<li>Prof. Dr. Andreas Kra\u00df, Department of German Literature, Humboldt University; Director of the Archive of Sexology, Humboldt University, Berlin<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Dagmar Brunow, Institute for Film Studies, Linnaeus University, Vaxj\u00f6, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Cheryl Dunye, Filmmaker, Department of Cinema, San Francisco State University, Liberia\/San Francisco<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>1.30pm In Conversation with Christine Vachon, New York, film producer, moderated by Toby Ashraf<\/p>\n<p>Christine Vachon is an \u201cIndependent Spirit Award\u201d and \u201cGotham Award\u201d winner who co-founded indie powerhouse \u201cKiller Films\u201d with partner Pamela Koffler in 1995.

Since then much has happened and those now called Queer or LGBTQI* Film Festivals have flourished and expanded in all cultural backgrounds all over the world, most recently new festivals have been founded in Africa and also the Middle East. The growing number of festivals also fostered different and more diverse programs within the Queer Film Festival Circuit. From classical queer\/LGBTQI*content to pornography and from the avant-garde to activism; six programmers from different cultural backgrounds will talk about their view on curating and activism on this panel.<\/p>\n<p>Participants:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dr. Skadi Loist, host, Department of Media Studies, University of Rostock; Lesbisch Schwule Filmtage Hamburg | International Queer Film Festival<\/li>\n<li>Desiree Buford, Frameline &#8211; San Francisco International LGBTQ Film Festival<\/li>\n<li>Jo\u00e3o Ferreira, Queer Lisboa \u2013 International Queer Film Festival<\/li>\n<li>Alexandra Carastoian, FAQiff \u2013 Feminist and Queer International Film Festival, Bucharest<\/li>\n<li>Xiaogang Wei, Beijing Queer Film Festival<\/li>\n<li>Nosheen Khwaja, GLITCH QTIPoC Film Festival Glasgow<\/li>\n<li>Saadat Munir, AKS Film &#8211; Art &#8211; Dialogue Festival, Pakistan and Denmark<\/li>\n<li>J\u00fcrgen Br\u00fcning, Porn Film Festival, Berlin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3.45pm Break<\/p>\n<p>4.00pm Programmers\/Queer Academy Meeting + the Queer Connection<\/p>\n<p>Following the Panel discussions, the annual Programmers\/Queer Academy Meeting will take place. This is the place where new festivals are presented, new cooperations established, as well as, organisational and content practices are discussed. Filmmakers and distributors are invited to discuss their works directly with festival makers in the framework of the Queer Connection and therefore to already set the first festival screenings during this event. In addition to filmmakers and distributors, who present the films included in the current Berlinale programme, local Berlin filmmakers and producers are welcome to personally show their projects.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the TEDDY award, the LGBT\/Q film award at the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) the Queer Academy put on a Film Summit to discuss queer archiving and queer film festivals in practice &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmfestivalresearch.org\/index.php\/queer-academy-film-summit-teddy-30-berlinale-2016\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,35,7],"tags":[102,47,111,107,60],"class_list":["post-1988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-conferences","category-film-festival-practice","category-film-festival-research","tag-berlinale","tag-conference-panels","tag-film-festival-practice","tag-film-festival-research","tag-queer-film-festivals"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.filmfestivalresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.filmfestivalresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.filmfestivalresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.filmfestivalresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.filmfestivalresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1988"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.filmfestivalresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1989,"href":"http:\/\/www.filmfestivalresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988\/revisions\/1989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.filmfestivalresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.filmfestivalresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.filmfestivalresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
