Career

[edit]

Faber graduated as a journalist from the Danish School of Media and Journalism in 1991 and subsequently worked at DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) until 2003. In 2003, she was hired as a producer at Bastard Film and at one point also became co-owner of the company before it was acquired by Monday Media in 2009. It was at Bastard Film that the foundation of her career in film production was established. In 2010, she founded her own production company, Made in Copenhagen, where she serves as a creative producer and director.[1]

As a producer, she is behind internationally acclaimed titles, such as the Oscar, BAFTA and Peabody winner Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025) directed by David Borenstein and Pavel Talankin,[2] Mummy's Boys (2025) directed by Jesper Dalgaard, Theatre of Violence (2023) directed by Emil Langballe, The Chocolate War (2022) directed by Miki Mistrati, and Warriors from the North (2014) directed by Søren Steen Jespersen.

In 2026, Helle Faber became the first Dane ever to win an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature with Mr. Nobody Against Putin,[3] which also won a BAFTA Award, a Peabody Award, a Robert, a Bodil, and more than 20 other awards.

Faber is a member of the Producers Guild of America.[4]
