HBO Europe and Berlin-based Dreamer Joint Venture Filmproduction have boarded “Trust Me,” Joanna Ratajczak’s probing doc feature on a real life couple’s experimentation with an open relationship.
“Trust Me” will be presented at Locarno’s Match Me networking event by Stanislaw Zaborowski, at Warsaw’s Silver Frame, the project’s lead producer. The HBO Europe co-production was put through by Hanka Kastelicová.
Headed by Oliver Stoltz, Dreamer Joint Venture produced Marc Wiese’s 2020 doc feature “We Hold the Line,” about Filipino dictator Rodrigo Duterte’s persecution of journalists, and Markus Imboden’s “On the Edge,” an Arte France-backed relationship drama.
It turns on Alicja and Sebastian, a couple which seems to have it all – a happy relationship, two wonderful children, money, a large number of friends – until Sebastian proposes that they should open up the relationship to other partners.

Shin Dong-huyk was born on 19 November 1983 – as a political prisoner in a North Korean re-education camp. Marc Wiese’s documentary tells his story: how he learnt to inform on anyone who did not follow the draconian rules; how he could not comprehend of a world outside the camp; how he ultimately shopped his mother and brother to the authorities, and ended up being tortured for his troubles; how he saw his mother and brother executed and felt nothing; and finally how he escaped, yet still wants to return to his “home”.

The only person known to have escaped from a North Korean re-education camp reveals some 1984-level shit, except it’s worse, because it’s not fiction… and, more’s the pity for humanity, not too terribly surprising. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing

This is some 1984-level shit right here, except it’s worse, because it’s not fiction. Shin Dong-Huyk escaped from one of North Korea’s “re-education camps” — the only person known to have done so — and then to China, and then to South Korea. Now he works with U.S. human-rights organization Liberty in North Korea, sharing his firsthand experience of the worst totalitarian practices of the secretive regime with anyone who will listen. He shares them here, in a documentary by German filmmaker Marc Wiese, and the more he talks, the deeper the descent into real-life,...

(Jon S Baird, 2013, UK) James McAvoy, Jamie Bell, Eddie Marsan, Imogen Poots. 97 mins
Drugs, sleaze, sex, Scots, Irvine Welsh – is it 1996 again? This is just as energetic as Trainspotting, but less hip and more theatrically grim, wallowing in the debauchery and mania of a copper bent way out of shape. The only subtlety to be found is on the face of McAvoy, whose committed performance holds it all together.

★★★★☆ Earlier this year, Joshua Oppenheimer's chilling documentary The Act of Killing (2013) recreated the events of the 1965 military coup in Indonesia. Approaching equally harrowing material, Marc Wiese's third documentary feature, Camp 14: Total Control Zone (2012), places us within the barbaric prison camps of North Korea in an arresting tale of human endurance and the savagery of totalitarian governments. It's an undeniably hard watch, but the story it recounts is more than worthy of audience's attention. Shin Donh-huyk was a child born into such a camp, only freed after 23 years of psychological and physical abuse.
Shin's upbringing can only be described as traumatic, with his first childhood memory being that of a public execution. Now living in South Korea after the liberation of his camp, Shin recalls his past in a series of candid interviews that at times are almost too painful to listen to. We hear how his father...

Shin Dong-hyuk was born in a North Korean punishment camp, where he endured appalling brutalities until he escaped, aged 23. Now his story is told in a harrowing documentary
Documentary-makers generally tackle torture at a distance. Joshua Oppenheimer's The Act of Killing, for instance, introduced us to a charismatic killer from Indonesia's anti-communist genocide who dances the cha-cha on the rooftop where he murdered hundreds of victims almost 50 years earlier. Camp 14: Total Control Zone is different. The German film-maker Marc Wiese's film tells of horrors that could be happening as you read this, in North Korea, in prison camps so vast that they show up on Google Earth.
Some are "re-education" facilities, where the inmates can hope to be released after a period of hard labour and immersion in revolutionary doctrine. The "total control zone", however, is a life sentence, with death the only exit. Other, that is,...

Once considered by many as either high art, propaganda or educational videos, documentary film has developed into a popular and visible form of entertainment, sometimes breaking into the mainstream, and often having a greater effect on society. Every year it seems more and more docs are produced and thus not even our hard working staff can manage to get around to watching them all. But we try our best, and so every year we publish a list of the docs that received high praise from our team. This year, the films appearing range from poetic, semi-expository, strictly observational, participatory, reflexive and even groundbreaking. Here are the 20 best documentaries of 2012, list in alphabetical order, with one special mention. Enjoy!

Camp 14 – Total Control Zone
Directed by Marc Wiese
2012, Germany, 101 minutes
When confronted with something both horrible and alien, it is often easiest to use humour to make light of the situation. North Korea, the last bastion of Stalinism and most introverted state on earth, certainly falls into this category. It has long been in the sights of Cracked articles, Team America, and an infamous subreddit. I’m not criticising—comedy is a valid response. It’s much more uncommon, though, to engage with North Korea honestly and seriously. Camp 14 – Total Control Zone is one of those rare engagements. It shines a harsh light on a place antithetical to free expression, but it does more than merely pillory something we can all agree is bad. This film explores the complex psychology of a former prisoner of North Korea and exposes the nature of complete psychological control.

Daring Us To Complain: Wiese Shows Us North Korea From The Inside
Behind the heavily barricaded borders of North Korea lay a slew of labor camps that are home to those deemed as criminals of the state. Most of these 200,000 so called ‘criminals’ are interned for committing such crimes as defacing images of their now deceased supreme leader Kim Jong-il or other seemingly benign acts. Under constant surveillance, they must maintain obedience or risk being shot or violently tortured by the brainwashed guards. Shin Dong-Huyk was one of the countless unfortunates born within, but one of the very few lucky enough to escape alive. German director Marc Wiese chronicles Shin’s appalling life story in his penetrating docu feature debut, Camp 14: Total Control Zone, a tale so foreign to modern society that it almost seems the stuff of science fiction.

Toronto – On July 31st, the 37th annual Toronto International Film Festival announced its second wave of features and documentaries to be added to this year’s already promising lineup.
The ‘Midnight Madness’ programme, which showcases up and coming genre films, will return for a second year, with The Raid winning the inaugural audience choice award in 2011.
Tiff Programmer Colin Geddes says that the audience should expect “everything from outrageous horror comedies to mock-doc-eco-apocalypse thrillers, featuring trans-dimensional bugs, lewd Catholic priests, meat monsters and dog-snapping psychopaths that will animate the Ryerson Theatre when the clock chimes 12.”
Returning for its fourth edition this year is the ‘City to City’ programme, which puts a spotlight on filmmakers working and living in a certain city, introducing audiences to local independent films from around the world. This year’s city of choice is Mumbai.

The 2012 Toronto International Film Festival line-up got another boost with today's announcement of the Midnight Madness, Vanguard and Documentary selections which include films from the likes of Barry Levinson, Don Coscarelli, Rob Zombie, Martin McDonagh, Ben Wheatley, Michel Gondry and Alex Gibney and include titles such as Aftershock, Dredd, Seven Psychopaths, Pusher, Sightseers, The We and the I, The Gatekeepers, Finding Nemo 3D, Hotel Transylvania and a Cinemateque selection that includes Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M For Murder, Roman Polanski's Tess and Roberto Rossellini's Stromboli. Considering Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master was recently added to the official selection as a Special Presentation I am going to have my hands full when it comes to screenings, but I will definitely make sure to catch McDonagh's Seven Psychopaths, which is one of my most anticipated films of the year. Otherwise, the schedule will determine which ones I check out. The...

To be housed at the new spanking brand new Bloor Hot Docs Cinema, this year’s docu items included such names/titles as Ken Burns and what looks to be the Telluride preemed The Central Park Five, Julien Temple’s London – The Modern Babylon, Marina Zenovich’s sequel Roman Polanski: Odd Man Out, another hot topic subject for Alex Gibney with Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God and an exec produced item from Errol Morris with Joshua Oppenheimer’s The Act of Killing side by side with with the latest from Crossing the Line helmer Daniel Gordon (9.79*) and Operation Filmmaker helmer Nina Davenport (First Comes Love).
