The fund makes an annual award of DKK 6 million in contributed capital to
Danish filmmakers. Awards are made at the sole discretion of film director Lars von Trier and go to films that explore the idiom and/or content of the film medium.
The first project to receive support from the fund is Anders Klarlund’s feature film “Memories”, a violent, erotic and chilling movie about a woman’s recollection
of the events that led to her waking up, completely battered, in hospital. “Memories” will consist of nothing but still-pictures. Shooting is slated to start in summer 2008, and the movie is expected to premiere in 2009.
