About
The Danish Film Institute (Danish: Det Danske Filminstitut, DFI) is the national Danish agency responsible for supporting and encouraging film and cinema culture, and for conserving these in the national interest. It is the successor organisation to the Danish Film Foundation (Danish: Den Danske Filmfond). Also known as Filmhuset ("the film house"), it is located in Gothersgade in central Copenhagen. Facilities directed at the general public include a library and Cinemateket, Denmark's national film museum. Tine Fischer was appointed to take over from current director of the institute, Claus Ladegaard, from 1 August 2024. The documentary 'Mr. Nobody Against Putin' (2026), co-produced by the DFI, won the Academy Award (Oscar) for Documentary Feature. Four Danish films have received the International Feature Film Oscar: 'Another Round' (2021), 'In a Better World' (2011), 'Pelle the Conqueror' (1989), and 'Babette's Feast' (1988).
