Nimbus Film ranks as Denmark's third most prominent film production enterprise, established in 1993 by Birgitte Hald alongside Bo Ehrhardt. The original founders continue to possess the majority share, owning 67%, while in 2018 the French Newen Group (a subsidiary of TF1) acquired a 33% interest.
Having created more than 30 feature-length films, Nimbus Film also boasts a substantial portfolio of shorts and documentaries. Among its acclaimed works are the Dogme 95 classics The Celebration (1998, directed by Thomas Vinterberg), recipient of the Jury Prize at Cannes, and Mifune's Last Song (1999, directed by Søren Kragh-Jacobsen), which received the Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival. Additional notable titles include A Soap (2006, directed by Pernille Fischer Christensen), another Silver Bear laureate, as well as the World War II drama Flame & Citron (2008, directed by Ole Christian Madsen), which achieved significant box office success domestically and was distributed internationally. In 2010, Vinterberg’s film Submarino was featured in competition at Berlin.
Operating out of Copenhagen, Nimbus Film functions as a privately held company within the cinematic sector, specializing in producing premium Danish films with an international audience in mind.
