Här följer samtliga vinnare i Teddy Awards på Berlinalen.

The TEDDY for the Best Feature Film, endowed with 3,000 Euro, donated by Pro-Fun Media, goes to The Amazing Truth about Queen Raquela, by Olaf de Fleur, "for its ability to address race, gender and poverty in an entertaining way, while also playing with audiences expectations of form." (Jury Statement)

The TEDDY Jury Price goes to Be Like Others, by Tanaz Eshaghian, "an uncompromising and moving portrayal of the shocking reality faced by queer Iranians." (Jury Statement)

The TEDDY for the Best Documentary Film, endowed with 3,000 Euro, donated by elledorado e. V. and by the TEDDY Foundation, goes to Football Under Cover, by David Assmann and Ayat Najafi.
