Quotations:
Minister of Culture
Jakob Engel-Schmidt:
“Denmark has a huge strategic interest in hosting strong film and TV productions. I think it’s absolutely absurd that a series like ‘Miss Smilla’s Feeling for Snow’, which is set in Greenland and Denmark, was filmed in Latvia, Lithuania, and Iceland — all of which have production rebate schemes. It’s a waste of jobs, of the Danish storytelling tradition, and of showcasing our fantastic Kingdom. That is why I am proud that we are now taking a major step toward making Denmark a European powerhouse for film and TV production. And who knows — perhaps the next version of the hit series Emily in Pariswill involve the main character moving to Copenhagen?”
In Danish:
”Danmark har en kæmpe strategisk interesse i at lægge jord til stærke film- og tv-produktioner. Jeg synes, det er tudetosset, at en serie som ’Frøken Smillas fornemmelse for sne’, der foregår i Grønland og i Danmark, er blevet optaget i Letland, Litauen og Island, der alle har produktionsrabatter. Det er spild af arbejdspladser, dansk fortælletradition og eksponering af vores fantastiske kongerige. Derfor er jeg stolt over, at vi nu tager et stort skridt i retningen af at gøre Danmark til et europæisk kraftcenter for film- og tv-produktioner. Og hvem ved, måske den næste version af hitserien Emily in Paris involverer, at hovedpersonen flytter til København?”
The Minister for Cities and Rural Districts Morten Dahlin:
“Film and TV productions help showcase Denmark abroad, enabling us to attract even more tourism and revenue to the entire country. Therefore, it is extremely good news — both for Danish film and TV production and for Danish tourism — that we can now introduce a rebate for productions filmed in Denmark.”
In Danish:
“Film og tv-produktioner er med til at vise Danmark frem i udlandet, så vi i endnu højere grad kan tiltrække turisme og indtægter til hele landet. Derfor er det en enorm god nyhed for både dansk film og tv-produktion og for dansk turisme, at vi nu kan indføre en rabat på produktioner optaget i Danmark.”
Helle Bonnesen, Conservative Party spokesperson on business affairs:
“Now James Bond can come to Nordhavn! Finally, the film industry is at long last getting a production rebate. It is crucial for ensuring that the proud traditions of Danish cinema can continue and that the industry receives a much-needed helping hand.”
In Danish:
Nu kan James Bond komme til Nordhavn!
Endelig: nu får filmbranchen omsider produktionsrabat. Det er afgørende for, at dansk films stolte traditioner kan fortsætte, og at branchen kan få en tiltrængt håndsrækning .
Torsten Jakobsen, Consultant at M2 Animation:
“But the Danish industry — perhaps precisely because we have not had production rebates — punches above its weight and has learned to work more efficiently.
So even with a 25% rebate, we are still well able to compete with foreign companies,” emphasizes Torsten, who has previously also been on the client side as a director at LEGO.
In Danish:
Men den danske branche - måske netop fordi vi ikke har haft produktionsrabatter - slår over vores egen vægtklasse og har lært at arbejde mere effektivt.
Så selv med 25% kan vi alligevel godt konkurrere med udenlandske selskaber, understreger Torsten, der også tidligere har været på kundesiden som direktør i LEGO.
