Flee

Editor - Janus Jansen

FLEE editor, Janus Jansen began his filmmaking journey when he first stepped into an editing room on Monday, February 5th 1970.  Fifty-two years later he can look back upon a career rich in both scripted films, such as SMILLA'S SENSE OF SNOW (1997) and THE HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS (1993), as well as documentaries like STRONG ISLAND (2017) and A CIVILIZED COUNTRY (2014).  Fourteen of those films were done with noted Danish director, Bille August.

FLEE follows Amin Nawabi, who, on the verge of marrying his husband, shares his story for the first time about his hidden past fleeing his home country of Afghanistan to Denmark as a refugee.
