Nicolai G.H. Johansen is a Danish writer/director born in 1994 on the island of Funen. Johansen graduated from the Danish independent film school Super8 in 2021. His short INHERENT premiered at Semaine de la critique at Cannes Film Festival 2021, and his mid-length film IF YOU KNEW premiered at Brive Film Festival 2022, where it won the audience award. The film will also screen at Karlovy Vary Film Festival 2022 as a part of Future Frames organized by European Film Promotion. Johansen is interested in character-driven narratives, usually centering on lonely people struggling to connect to the world. Fascinated by the inner life and daily rhythms of these characters, he likes to subvert genre expectations in order to find the relatable in the irregular. He is a firm believer in cinema being more about mood and atmosphere than plot and loves bittersweet endings.
