Flee

One of the biggest films of 2021 (and will surely be nominated for several awards in the upcoming awards season) comes to the TLVFest 2021, so don’t miss it!

For twenty years Amin Nwabi kept his story a secret – how he escaped Afghanistan as a child after the Soviet invasion and managed to get to Denmark after a harrowing journey. All this changes when his partner asks Amin to marry him. Only then he opens up to his best friend, the director Jonas Poher Rasmussen, who brings us Amin’s story through wonderful animation and touching soundtrack, and depicts how he handled the trauma of becoming a refugee and how he built his new home in Scandinavia.
“Flee” was first screened at Sundance Festival and was immediately crowned as one of the best documentaries of 2021 as well as one of its most beautiful animation films. As befitting its quality, emotional force and its visual richness, the film won the Grand Jury Prize for best Documentary at Sundance Festival and later won the Best Feature award at the prestigious animation festival of Annecy, France.
