N2 - This article analyses the impact of the emergence of a cultural orientation within the EU on Danish film policies during the late 1980s and the 1990s. The methodology consists of document analysis of correspondences between domestic and EU authorities based on an institution-analytical approach to the question of Europeanization. The main argument is that the European Commission's ongoing push for the Pan-European idea has contributed to a process of institutionalization through pressures and enabling structures, with renationalization and affirmation of national film-cultural diversity as its main outcome.
