How Denmark's Film Production Incentive Works

Denmark introduced a new production incentive in 2026, offering a 25% cash reimbursement on qualifying production expenditure. Administered by the Danish Film Institute (DFI), the program fills a gap that previously made Denmark one of the few Nordic countries without a direct production incentive.

Reimbursement Structure

The program provides a 25% reimbursement on qualifying Danish production costs. The minimum qualifying expenditure is DKK 7.5 million (~$1.1 million). The total annual fund is DKK 100 million.

Why Productions Choose Denmark

Scandinavian aesthetics. Copenhagen's colorful Nyhavn harbor, modernist architecture, windswept coastlines, and Nordic countryside provide distinctive Northern European settings.

World-class crews. Denmark has a strong filmmaking tradition (Dogme 95, Lars von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg) and highly skilled technical crews.

Nordic film ecosystem. Denmark's incentive can be combined with Nordic co-production treaties and regional film funds across Scandinavia.

Infrastructure. Nordisk Film Studios in Copenhagen is one of the oldest continuously operating film studios in the world.
