S10E4. Helle Faber

From Copenhagen for a short stopover during awards season, Herning-born, Copenhagen-based Danish documentary film producer HELLE FABER talks about her film Mr Nobody Against Putin, currently nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Helle discusses how she got involved in the secret film, how the subject and filmmakers had to trust each other, and how the team got the subject out of Russia for his safety that would then secure the film's chances to be shown. ----------For today's episode, Helle Faber chose Uden titel, or Untitled, from 1988 by Ragna Braase from the collection of the National Gallery of Denmark.https://open.smk.dk/en/artwork/image/kms8905 ----------Photographer: Martin Bubrandt----------This conversation with Asger Hussain occurred on February 20, 2026.----------We invite you to subscribe to Danish Originals for weekly episodes.
