Deadline: 7 May 2024
The Danish Film Institute is accepting applications to support feature films of high artistic quality and production value that may reach a national and international audience, as well as projects that can inspire and contribute to the development of skills in the film industry and thereby strengthen international collaboration.
The Danish Film Institute gives priority to co-productions that contribute to the overall objectives of cultural significance and diversity. The following aspects are weighted in the assessment of applications:
- the artistic quality of the project
- the collaboration between the international producer and the Danish co-producer
- the technical and creative collaboration
- the potential for screening at international festivals
- the potential for distribution in Denmark
- the possibility for contributing to a diverse film culture
The editorial board prioritizes projects that have artistic strength and a potential for being selected for A festivals, or projects which are foreseen as leading Nordic works capable of reaching a wide audience in Denmark.
In relation to the collaboration between the producers, the board considers previous co-productions and/or future projects and gives priority to a Danish creative and technical contribution that is instrumental in enhancing the quality of the project.
