LOS ANGELES, California—As we reported earlier, "The Amazing Truth About Queen Raquela," a film that stars Raquela Rios of Cebu, recently won as Best Feature in the Berlinale's Teddy Queer Film Awards.

"Queen Raquela," produced by Arleen Cuevas and directed by Olaf de Fleur of Iceland, was cited by the jury "for its ability to address race, gender and poverty in an entertaining way, while also playing with audiences' expectations of form."
