The historical cinema Grand Teatret in Copenhagen, opened in 1913, is run by Kirsten Dalgaard and has undergone several renovations and upgrading programmes over the years (the last one dating back to 2002) and now has six screens dedicated to quality cinema.
Café Biografen, the oldest cinema in Odense, plays a key role in promoting art and culture in Hans Christian Andersen’s birth place with regular exhibitions and film festivals organised throughout the year, including the Odense International Film Festival, held in August every year.
