Nov 2020 – Matthias Dell and Sven Illgner have written new texts reflecting on the controversy caused by our film DAS BLOCK at the Duisburger Filmwoche in 2007. They are part of new website celebrating four decades of the festival’s legendary discussions, a central part of the Duisburg experience and much longer, more passionate and more uncomfortable than typical Q-and-As. Cristina Nord also wrote about the controversy in her text “What is Dignity?”, published in the book “AusSichten – Öffentliches Reden über Dokumentarfilm”.

April 2014 – Matthias Dell published a long article on our films in Edition 21 of Cargo-Ausgabe magazine:
“‘Every man is alone in with regard to two things: his faith and his death.’ This quote from Martin Luther opens the new documentary by Stefan Kolbe and Chris Wright. In a religious context, a Luther quote might not seem unusual. But it describes something beyond this single film, as it would be a fitting motto for other films by Kolbe and Wright. Perhaps for their entire work. And their work is remarkable.” There Might Be Something – On the documentaries of Stefan Kolbe & Chris Wright by Matthias Dell
June 2017 – The Goethe Institute in Brussels staged a retrospective of our work.
