Danish Film Institute
The Danish Film Institute, established in 1972, is Denmark’s national agency for supporting and promoting film and cinema culture. Located in Gothersgade in central Copenhagen, this cultural cornerstone—also known as Filmhuset (“the film house”)—operates under the Danish Ministry of Cultural Affairs. The institute focuses on three main areas: production and development of films, distribution and communication of film culture, and archives and museum activities. Its public facilities include a comprehensive library with 55,000 books and Cinemateket, Denmark’s national film museum, featuring three cinemas showcasing classics and quality films.
