FLEE

“A stellar feat of cinema." The Playlist The official trailer for Jonas Poher Rasmussen's Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner, FLEE. In theaters Dec. 3

Congratulations to Jonas Poher Rasmussen for his European Film Award nominations for FLEE, European Animated Feature Film and European Documentary.

There is a bit in @FleeMov where 2 young girls in Kabul trade Bollywood cards. A Vivek Mushran or a Mamik Singh for an Anil Kapoor. How beautifully our arts seep through borders!

#AnilKapoor's image in a playing card, winking at @FleeMov's young Afghan protagonist Amin, is one of the coolest things I have seen this festival season. The film follows Amin - a gay man and his journey as a refugee to Denmark! #TellurideFilmFestival #TIFF21

Film 5: #FLEE is a honest, brave & powerful true story of one man’s journey to freedom. It’s brought to life by phenomenal animation & documentary styles filming. Amin wants the freedom to Flee & to love whomever he wants. This is truly an Oscar contender #LFF @BFI

8. FLEE, dir. Jonas Poher Rasmussen This personal animated documentary is getting plenty of buzz and rightly so. The hand-drawn work is gorgeous combined with the central subject’s story about fleeing from home is unbearably, the emotional effect is unbearably moving. #LFF

#Flee is an honest and brave telling of one man’s journey to external and internal freedom. The animation is crisp, the story is emotional, and the real footage is haunting. A completely original and powerful documentary.

#NYFF Review: FLEE (Second Viewing) — I just love this movie, an animated documentary chronicling the harrowing & heartbreaking journey of a gay refugee to safety & love in the West. Seeing it on the big screen, the story and animation are stunning. One of the year’s best. (9/10)

FLEE is playing #NYFF. It’s one of the very best movies of 2021. It gave me the opportunity to write a review in really proud of. bit.ly/2UaOAjc

Flee is an incredible film. It really hit me so hard. #NYFF59

#Flee, an extraordinarily intimate animation capturing the refugee experience, makes its @TheNYFF premiere tonight. Read @FilmSwoon's review: bit.ly/2MuAky0

If you see any new documentary this year, let it be the devastatingly good ‘Flee.’ trib.al/7fhju2b

FLEE: lovely, smartly rendered; an insightful look at the imperfect, unglamorous nature of true human bravery. (Also: the collective, appreciative "hm!" from the audience at certain cuts from animation to live-action.) #NYFF59

I was hanging on every word of FLEE. Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s telling of his friend Amin’s refugee story is a deeply felt doc brimming with sincere understanding and evocative animation. An essential story that has become even more relevant since its premiere at Sundance. #NYFF59

Today's #NYFF59 movie is one that I've been buzzing about since I saw it at #Sundance. Absolutely thrilled to finally get the chance to see FLEE, the best animated film AND best documentary of the year, in a theater with an audience.

Standing ovation for FLEE! Still my favorite of the year and perhaps more so now. An emotional gut punch both in its refugee story and that of a gay man sorting through the trauma that made him the man he is now. Truly a masterpiece of documentary and story telling. #NYFF59

“I have a background in radio and actually the technique I use in the film for interviewing, I learned from radio. In radio you do not have an image.”- Jonas Poher Rasmussen, discussing his preparation techniques for FLEE
