Nordisk Film incorporates all parts of the value chain of the electronic entertainment world: development, production, marketing and distribution. On the threshold of our 100th anniversary, Nordisk Film is well on its way to becoming the creative powerhouse of the Nordic region.

Movies

The making of a movie is a long journey. From the original idea until the movie is finally wrapped and ready for the audiences, years can easily pass by. The finished movie then has to be distributed to the cinemas, to the DVD-market and finally to television.

Nordisk Film is involved in the entire lifespan of a movie. We nurse ideas, supervise production and post production, and send the movies travelling in distribution. Our ambition is to do our best for all of our movies, so that every one of them will grow strong and be able to conquer the world.

The lifetime of a movie can be divided into four periods. The first is development and writing of the manuscript, next up is production and the actual filming of the movie, then post production, and last but not least it's time to distribute the movie to cinemas, DVD and television.

Here you can read more about the life of a movie, and our engagement in the upbringing of every single film. You can also find information about many of our upcoming movies.
