If you like this company, let us know!
Nordisk Film (USA affiliate: Great Northern Film Company), established in Denmark in 1906 by Danish filmmaker Ole Olsen, is the oldest continuously active film studio in the world. It is the third oldest studio in the world behind Gaumont and Pathé. Olsen started his company in the Copenhagen suburb of Valby under the name "Ole Olsen's Film Factory" but soon changed it to the Nordisk Film Kompagni. In 1908, Olsen opened an affiliate branch in New York, the Great Northern Film Company, to handle distribution of his films to the American market. As Nordisk Film, it became a publicly traded company in 1911.
In 1992 it merged with the Egmont media group and operates today as electronic media production and distribution group that employs 1,090 people in six countries. The total revenues in 2003 amounted to approximately €345 million. Today, Nordisk Film is the oldest movie production company in operation in the world. Egmont Nordisk Film is the largest producer and distributor of electronic entertainment in the Nordic region. Nordisk Film incorporates all parts of the value chain in the electronic entertainment world: development, production, marketing and distribution.
The company produces and co-produces national and international feature films in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, which are distributed to cinemas around the Nordic countries, including Nordisk Film Cinemas in Denmark and Norway with approximately 16,000 seats. The films are also distributed internationally for viewing in cinemas, on video and on television. Additionally, Nordisk Film produces animated content and feature films.
In summer of 2010, it was announced that they will distribute Denmark's first 3-D film, a CGI adaptation of the Olsen Gang produced by A. Film A/S. It is probable that the film may be released in Real D 3D.
On 18 May 2012, Nordisk Film made a multi-year deal with Lions Gate Entertainment and will distribute films by Lionsgate Films and Summit Entertainment in Scandinavia. In September 2012, DreamWorks Studios signed a partnership with Nordisk Film for the distribution of DreamWorks' films in Scandinavia.
