German sales outlet Deckert Distribution has acquired Chris Wright and Stefan Kolbe’s “Anamnesis,” ahead of its world premiere in the Forum strand of the Berlinale.
The making of “Anamnesis” started when the two directors first meet Stefan S. in 2015, in the therapy ward of Brandenburg Prison. Their first impression is that of a polite, shy man. A warder tells them that the prisoner is an ice-cold woman-killer.
Wright and Kolbe decide to follow him through the last four years of his prison term. Stefan completes the modules of the therapy program, one of the most progressive in Europe for the treatment of violent criminals and sex offenders.
As his release approaches, Wright and Kolbe ask themselves some uncomfortable questions: Can anyone really know what is going on inside this man? What can we really understand of his crime? How effective can any treatment for toxic masculinity be, in this world behind bars?...

The Berlin International Film Festival has announced the line-ups for its Forum, Forum Expanded and Shorts sections. The 17-film selection of the Berlinale Forum focuses on works that deal with uncertainties in the world outside by embracing unpredictability in their plots and structures, and by mixing fiction and documentary forms. It gives preference to the fragile over the proven, with more space dedicated to filmmakers at the start of their careers than their more established colleagues. The European (co-)productions include Uldus Bakhtiozina's Tzarevna Scaling (Russia), Moumouni Sanou's Night Nursery (Burkina Faso/France/Germany) and Alvaro Gurrea's Ancient Soul (Spain). More established filmmakers also form part of the selection, such as Israeli documentarian Avi Mograbi's The First 54 Years – An Abbreviated Manual for Military Occupation (France/ Finland/Israel/Germany), Chris Wright and Stefan Kolbe's Anamnesis (Germany), and Susana Nobre's Jack's Ride (Portugal). The Forum Expanded is experimenting...
