Member advantages

As a member of Danish Film Directors you get several advantages such as contract negotiation, guidance to your unemployment fund, favourable casualty insurance, and social events such as the annual Champagne Celebration.

Danish Film Directors assist you in different case processing such as contract negotiation and guidance to your unemployment fund etc. Furthermore, we handle your director- and script interests at collective bargaining meetings within national and foreign pressure groups.

It is possible to borrow the meeting room and computer and printing facilities at Danish Film Directors’ general office. Several times a year, we host member events concerning relevant film issues. Also, we arrange meetings with our members and foreign directors. Annually, we host the Champagne Celebration where we celebrate those directors who had cinema premiers of their films within the past year. We regularly keep our members updated through newsletters, emails and the members’ journal Take.

As a member, it is possible to take out favourable collective casualty insurance with 24 hour coverage anywhere in the world. For further information on coverage, premium etc. and how to take out the insurance click here:
