Production discounts - panel discussion

Ole Bendixen · Lars Bjørn Hansen · Claus Toksvig Kjær · Louise Vesth

After Jakob Isak Nielsen's Introduction to the Danish production rebate, Jakob moderates a panel debate with prominent Danish industry players who have been engaged in the work of creating the political basis for the Danish scheme.

The panel discusses, among other things:

  • The scheme's strengths and weaknesses
  • Winners and losers: What types of productions will particularly benefit from the scheme?
  • The balance between retaining Danish productions and attracting foreign ones
  • The economic framework and consequences for the overall film ecosystem
  • Upskilling and competence development among Danish film workers
  • What is missing? For example, requirements for sustainability, environmental certification or other strategic areas of focus

There will be an opportunity to ask questions to the panel via SLIDO.
