About me
The Film School is a historically important focal point for the development of Danish film, both creatively and in relation to the professionalisation of the industry.The National Film School of Denmark was founded in 1966 and is Denmark's only state higher education within film and television production. We offer eight bachelor’s programmes for the most dedicated film talents. The school offers courses, masterclasses, and other industry events via our continuing education for professionals who already work in the film, TV, and games industries. And we conduct artistic research that creates new knowledge and contributes to the development of new methods and pedagogical practices, which are an important foundation for the further development of our programmes.
The film school is also the centre for public cultural events. During the year, we host film screenings, artist meetings, and debates that put artistic, film-political, and societal agendas into play.
Since 1998, the Film School has been located on Holmen in Copenhagen, close to the water, side by side with the other artistic educational institutions, which include the Royal Danish Academy – Architecture, Design, Conservation, the Rhythmic Music Conservatory, and the Danish National School of Performing Arts.
