Abstract
Making a feature film is a costly affair. As a filmmaker you are constantly confronted with the economic realities of realizing your creative vision, as you have to persuade a number of people to risk their money on your project. Artistic self-expression or risk taking are rarely the top priority in the financial framework for filmmaking, and the complicated relationship between art and industry is often discussed in all national film cultures. The deep divide between art and commerce is thus in no way unique to Danish cinema, but a small national cinema with a limited domestic market results in some natural limits being placed on the scale and scope of the films produced. Most small national cinemas are dependent on government support to finance feature film production, since the financial risk of making films for a limited domestic market is otherwise simply too great.
