Biography
Jon Bang Carlsen (b. 1950, Vedbak, Denmark) graduated from the National Film School of Denmark in 1976. In the 1980s he was ranked among the foremost Danish directors for his radical documentaries that cleverly blend the authentic with the staged (e.g. Hotel of the Stars, 1981). He has also shot several acted films. Blinded Angels (Blinde engle) screened in the documentary competition at KVIFF 2006.
