Dreyer, Lars von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg and Susanne Bier in their cultural context, and it presents important genres such as youth film, realism, drama, comedy, pornography, and documentary.
Denmark has always been internationally extremely mobile, from
the world domination of Nordisk Film studios during the silent
period to the wildly successful sex comedies of the 1970s. The
recent successes of Nordic Noir and Danish TV and streaming series
continues to make extraordinary contributions to entertainment and
art film, TV, and streaming: Overwhelming success in recent years
is witnessed by the many Emmy, BAFTA, Cannes, and Oscar wins. The
