Dear all,
I am translating a news article on a film festival.
What would be the best translation for the phrese in this context. I've tried to translate it as:
who is not showing in public
And I am thinking of another translation:
.... who is keeping himself out of sight
What do you think? Please if you can provide me with any comments/feedback or if you have any better translation, I'll be very thankful to you. Any explanations are much welcome.
Many thanks.

gone into hiding
The reason for him playing a low profile and staying away from public sight is mainly to do with security -being in the opposition of the mighty Russians- (IMHO). The fact is also that his documentary had already been stolen (although he has already sent a copy to the festival) so there is reason to believe his life might be in danger. Thus him now playing a low profile and gone into hiding.
