Film
Quiet on the set – aaaand: Action! Films have existed for more than a 100 years and there is still something very special about watching a good picture that can make you laugh or cry, talk about, trever with fear, or simply just gives you a chance to do some kissing in the back row…
From the moment when the idea for a film is conceived and up until the script is finalised. Through production, marketing and distribution - Egmont is there, all the way.
Egmont is the main film producer in the Nordic countries and via the companies Nordisk Film and Zentropa we produce films for both the national and the international market.
We have been around ever since the early years of film, and have produced our share of classics, some of which have created film history. Among these is the heart-warming dogme 95-film ”Italian for Beginners”, the most seen Danish movie in 2001. And not to forget “Journey to Saturn”, which broke down the barriers of what could be allowed to be porttrayed in an animated film. The unsuccesful but dedicated thieves portrayed in the Olsen Gang films, also still warm the hearts of many.
We have a reputation for making high quality films and out aim is to always provide good films to a broad public. We also make low budget films for a smaller public to ensure new film talent a platform from wich they can develop.
We have divisions in Denmark, Sweden and Norway, but we also co-operate with other European partners to create larger international co-productions, such as Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy and Lars von Trier’s “Antichrist”. Besides producing films for cinemas, DVD and TV, we also distribute and market films throughout the Nordic countries.
