Saban Films acquired the distribution rights for the film in May 2018.[4]
In February, 2019 renowned artist Ai Weiwei claimed that his section of Berlin, I Love You was cut due to pressure from China's government. "The reason we were given for the episode’s removal [..] was that my political status had made it difficult for the production team."[5]
