Facts & Figures 2013 / Danish Film Institute
OUTLOOK
Admissions to Danish films were very impressive in 2012, increasing by 15.9% over 2011, a total of 3.9m tickets. The domestic market share of 29% was one of the highest in Europe, way above the European average of 13%. Total admissions were 13.6m, an increase of 1.2m over 2011 – running counter to the general trend of declining European admissions, 0.9% on the average. Danish films did well both internationally and domestically in 2012. The Danish blockbusters A Royal Affair and A Hijacking won numerous international awards and nominations. In all, Danish films took home 73 international awards. A highlight was Mads Mikkelsen’s prestigious Best Actor award at Cannes for The Hunt (released 2013). Danish documentaries made a strong showing at festivals worldwide in 2012. Meanwhile, Danish TV audiences, cinemagoers and festival attendants were treated to varied and strong programmes. Digital Cinema Rollout The digital rollout was completed in 2012. One hundred percent of cinemas now have at least one digital screen, making Denmark one of the first countries in Europe to have a fully digitized cinema market. The successful digital conversion of Danish cinemas comes thanks to national and local public funding in combination with substantial private investment. The 2011-2014 Film Policy Accord The political and economical framework for the Danish Film Institute is set by the Danish Parliament for periods of four years. Halfway through the current period, it is still too early to assess the outcome at cinemas and other screens, but the much increased flexibility of the support systems has already proved its importance and relevance in its strong focus on quality and diversity in the supply of Danish films. In 2013, the Danish Film Institute has initiated discussions on the future political and economical framework from 2015 on. The focus has been on digital challenges and opportunities in the consumer market, digital content, new formats and new business models.
