Beta Cinema has announced a series of international deals for I Is Another, the historical psychological drama written and directed by Felix Randau, starring Claes Bang (The Square) and Valerie Pachner (A Hidden Life), following its world premiere at the Locarno Film Festival's Piazza Grande.

The film has been sold to ARP Selection in France, Youplanet Pictures in Spain, Angel Films in Scandinavia, Vertigo Media in Hungary, Beta Film in Bulgaria, Red Cape in Israel, Big Tree Entertainment in India, and Palace Films in Australia and New Zealand. German distributor Port-au-Prince Pictures is planning a theatrical release in early 2027.

Inspired by true events, I Is Another follows Felix Kersten, the personal massage therapist of Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler, who reportedly helped secure the release of thousands of concentration camp prisoners. As Kersten travels to Oslo hoping to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, journalist Hedda confronts him during a night-train interview, questioning his heroic reputation and challenging his version of history.
Combining historical drama with psychological suspense, the film examines the manipulation of memory, personal identity and the fragile boundaries between truth and fiction, themes that resonate with today's debates around misinformation.

Produced by ostlicht filmproduktion in co-production with Wega Film, the cast also includes Susanne Wuest, Timocin Ziegler and Martin Müller.
In France, ARP Selection is presenting the film at the Augenblick Film Festival ahead of its theatrical release in 2027.
Beta Cinema will present I Is Another at the American Film Market on November 11, with a market screening scheduled for 9:00 a.m. at AMC Century City 3.
