For its straightforward and honest portrayal of gender issues within a marriage, presented in a handsome production that will bring its important message to a wide audience, the 2015 Queer Lion goes to Tom Hooper for The Danish Girl<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The 2015 Queer Lion jury, headed by American film critic Alonso Duralde<\/strong>, and composed by the creator of the award Daniel N. Casagrande<\/strong>, and by Marco Busato<\/strong>, general delegate of cultural association CinemArte, decided, to award, exceptionally, a Special Mention to Baby Bump<\/strong><\/em> by Kuba Czekaj:<\/p>\n

For dealing with issues such as the struggles of a young teenager to accept and understand the changes in his body, and the complicated search for his sexual identity, through the free, innocent perspective of a child, supported by a style that recalls and pays tribute to the Polish and Czechoslovakian cinematic New Waves of the 60s<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The 2015 Queer Lion jury would like to show its appreciation for the number and overall quality of films with LGBT contents and themes within the 72. Venice International Film Festival; 14 movies competed this year for the award:<\/p>\n
