The Danish Film Institute (DFI) supports the production, distribution and promotion of feature films, shorts and documentaries. In addition, the Danish Film Institute offers a number of services to the public, including a Cinematheque, Library, Book Shop, Café and Restaurant, and an interactive film work shop for children and young people.
The main tasks of the DFI are as follows:
- to grant economic support to scriptwriting, production, promotion, distribution and exhibition of Danish films
to promote Danish films at international festivals
to support and foster new film talent
to support a network of Art Cinemas in Denmark
to support cinemas in local communities
to support the import of high quality foreign films to Denmark
to ensure the conservation of films, of documentation material and literature on film and television, and to ensure that research is carried out, and collections are made available to the public
to provide varied film activities for the general public
Scandinavian Films, the umbrella organisation of the 5 Nordic Film Institutions, was one of the 10 Founding Members of EFP. The Danish Film Institute became an individual EFP member in 1998.
"To help European films travel outside their country of origin is not always easy. Therefore the Danish Film Institute is happy to work closely with EFP in promoting European cinema around the world through the different EFP activities. Through our common efforts I hope European films will receive the recognition they deserve.” Christian Juhl Lemche
