Danish cinema saw significant growth and international recognition beginning in the 1970s, largely due to financial support from the Danish government aimed at enhancing various aspects of the industry, including production, screenwriting, and acting training. This commitment has resulted in numerous accolades for Danish films on the world stage, including Oscars, the Palme d'Or, and awards from many esteemed international film festivals.
