Cultivating Global Understanding from Japan Film Production in Denmark
Filming in Denmark generally runs smoothly, but it’s important to consider factors such as climate and daylight hours. Particularly in winter, the short daylight hours make efficient scheduling essential. Here are the key points to consider when filming in Denmark:
Weather and Daylight Considerations: During winter, Denmark experiences short daylight hours, which requires careful planning to maximize shooting time. Scheduling must be efficient to accommodate these conditions.
Filming Permits: Filming permits must be obtained through the Danish Film Institute and local municipalities. Using a local production company or coordinator is typically recommended for handling the application process.
Environmental and Labor Regulations: Denmark has strict environmental and labor regulations, particularly regarding filming in public spaces or nature reserves. It’s essential to collaborate with local experts to ensure all requirements are met for smooth filming.
Navigating Filming in Denmark
For any concerns or questions regarding filming in Denmark, feel free to contact our production assistants for support. We have an extensive network in Denmark and offer one-stop solutions for everything, from the complicated filming permit applications to local language, legal, and cultural support.
Entry Permits
Denmark is a member of the Schengen Agreement. If you have a Japanese passport with validity of at least 3 months beyond your departure date, you can stay visa-free for up to 90 days. If you have stayed in other Schengen countries, different conditions may apply. For any questions about traveling to Denmark for filming, don’t hesitate to consult our production manager.
Filming Permits
Filming in Denmark requires permission from the Danish Film Institute. To obtain this, you must hire a registered local coordinator who will submit the necessary paperwork on your behalf. If you’re looking for a local production in Denmark, please feel free to consult with us for assistance with the application process. We offer one-stop support for all questions regarding filming permits.

Cultural Considerations
In addition to legal issues such as filming permits, cultural challenges like language and customs may arise during filming in Denmark. Our production services will assist you in preventing misunderstandings with local authorities and residents, ensuring that your shoot runs smoothly. We can also arrange professional interpreters, translators, and experts familiar with local conditions to handle all aspects of filming.
Best Filming Times
Denmark experiences mild and temperate weather in the summer, with longer daylight hours. Conversely, winter is cold, with shorter daylight hours. Summer (June–August) is ideal for filming as the weather is often sunny, and the days remain bright until around 9 p.m., making it perfect for shooting in natural light. Winter is characterized by fog and cloudy days, making it suitable for capturing soft natural light or winter-specific landscapes.
