Film: Alive and well in Denmark

 With numerous Oscar and Palme d'Or awards the Danes have always produced above their size when it comes to the cinema.

The 2024 48 new DDF incoming, very select students.

Recently, the Danish government, boosted financial support for the film industry to $4.7 million per year (a small sum by U.S. standards but huge for the Danish film industry).

Very instrumental in the Danish cinema's global success is the Den Danske Filmskole. A film/media school which is one of the most important drivers in Danish cinema The DDF is also Denmark's most competitive educational institution - with over 1,000 applicants for just 48 admissions every two years.

include: '400 Blows' and 'Fahrenheit 451'

"Our student body is very elite", says Tine Fischer, DDF's Director, "our small size is critical to our success. The students are tutored individually, with many hours of personal dialogue and feedback, developing their own artistic vision and potential."

The Den Danske Filmskole is a one-off educational facility totally devoted to the cinema and pushing the limits of media in general, I applaud and salute your endeavor.
