    • Wieland Speck
      - The Jury Award is in recognition of the exceptional quality and diversity of gay and lesbian German films in this year's Berlinale. Beginning with the inspiring selection of Aimée & Jaguar (1999) the first lesbian film to open the Berlinale; to Lola + Bilidikid (1999), a demanding look at the Turkish gay immigrant experience; to Gendernauts - Eine Reise durch die Geschlechter (1999), a thorough examination of transgender identity, as well as the comedic short films Runt (1999) and NY 'NY 'n Why Not (1999), these five German films brilliantly represent the gay and lesbian community and the talent of German film-makers on the world stage. On behalf of these German films in this year's festival the Jury asks Wieland Speck, director of Panorama, to accept this award.
