We are very proud to announce that Flee directed by Jonas Poher Rasmussen and produced by Monica Hellström and Signe Byrge Sørensen has been nominated for the Robert Award in the category of Best Documentary, as well as Best Score, Best Sound Design, and Best Editor.
Composer Uno Helmersson is nominated for his film score, Tormod Ringnes and Edward Björner are nominated for the sound design and Janus Billeskov Jansen is nominated for the editing of the film.
‘Flee’ is produced by Monica Hellström and Signe Byrge Sørensen for Final Cut for Real and Charlotte de la Gournerie for Sun Creature.
‘Flee’ tells the extraordinary true story of Amin who, on the verge of marriage, is compelled to uncover his past for the first time – one that he has kept secret for over twenty years and which has continuously threatened the life he has built for himself since making the journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan to Denmark. Told mostly through animation, ‘Flee’ weaves together a stunning tapestry of images and memories which tell the affecting story of a young man grappling with his traumatic past in order to discover his true self and the meaning of home.
The annual award ceremony is hosted by the Danish Film Academy in celebration of the best Danish film and television of the year gone by. The Robert Award nominees and winners are selected by the over 2000 members, all of whom are members of the Danish film and TV industry.
The award ceremony will be held on February 5th 2022.
