Danish Film Institute The Danish Film Institute (DFI) supports the development, production and distribution of Danish films and also offers funding for international coproductions. Support programmes extend to digital games, film education and promotion at international film festivals. 25 percent of all subsidies are earmarked for children and youth films. Situated in central Copenhagen, the DFI houses the national Cinematheque and also includes a library, a stills & posters archive and a film studio where children and young people can explore the craft of filmmaking. The DFI manages the film archives and runs a streaming website for Danish short and documentary films at filmcentralen.dk.
