20. January 2015 Redaktionen

This year's Berlin International Film Festival will take place on 5 – 15 February. Apart from the Danish films that have already been selected in various categories, four minor co-productions have also been selected.

Inuk Silis Høegh's "Sume – the Sound of a Revolution" is a documentary about the hugely influential Greenlandic rock band Sume and the role they played in relation to further independence in their home country. The Greenlandic-Danish production has been selected for the Panorama programme and is the first ever film from Greenland to be selected for the Berlin International Film Festival.

Minor Co-Productions

The Danish Film Institute supports different types of minor co-productions: From feature films to short fiction and documentaries.

The Danish Film Institute can fund international feature film co-productions that have a non-Danish delegate producer and international co-production of documentaries of any length, short fiction and transmedia films/projects that have a non-Danish delegate producer.

The purpose for funding co-productions is to strengthen partnerships and creative exchange between Danish and international producers. DFI highly values the opportunities that co-production can provide for the Danish industry; international financing, cultural and business exchange and distribution; and therefore encourages these partnerships to be established.

    Icelandic director Dagur Kári's new film "Virgin Mountain" follows a man in his 40's living a life of routine until an encounter with a vivacious woman and an 8-year-old girl forces him to make significant changes. The Icelandic-French-Danish production will take part in the festival's Special Gala section.

    Argentinean filmmaker Leonardo Brzezicki's "The Mad Half Hour" is a CPH:LAB production, an international talent programme connected to CPH:DOX. The film is selected for Berlinale Shorts. "The Yes Men Are Revolting" has also received minor co-production support from the Danish Film Institute and has been selected for the Panorama programme.
