Denmark traditionally places a high priority on films for children and youth and acknowledges a child's right to experience artistic reflection on the realities of life. We believe that the best of cinema stirs and moves the heart and mind.
Danish film policy consistently aims to develop a film culture for children. Since 1982, the Danish Film Act has dedicated at least 25% of all government film subsidies to films for children and youth. This has had an enormous impact – on output, consistency and quality. Storytelling from a child’s perspective, solid production values and original stories are key.
