622 million DKK yearly (2024-2027) to save the movie industry in Denmark

-

A majority in the Parliament decided to extend a lifeline to the crisis-stricken movie industry. This is the largest public investment in Danish film in the last two decades. 

  • Also, the yearly 98 million DKK collected from the cultural tax on streaming services will go to films, documentaries and series produced in Denmark. 
  • 29% of tickets sold in cinemas must be for movies made in Denmark. 
  • The 10 best-selling movies made in Denmark should sell on average at least 250,000 tickets.
  • Movies made in the early age of Danish cinema will be digitized and made publicly available.
  • 8-10 feature films and 10-12 documentaries made in Denmark should be represented every year at international film festivals.
  • Municipalities will be able to establish regional film funds and each receive 27 million DKK from the state grant. The documentary film festival CPH:DOX will receive funding to expand the concept across Denmark.
