Silje Nikoline Glimsdal is joining Nordisk Film’s local acquisition team. Based in Copenhagen, she will be primarily responsible for film acquisition in Norway. As a distributor, Nordisk Film is a market leader in local films, and last year it had the largest market share of local films in the Nordic region.

“We are thrilled that Silje Nikoline Glimsdal has agreed to join the acquisition team at Nordisk Film Distribution. We are the market leader in local Nordic films in the Nordic region, and we have high ambitions for developing this business area. Local Nordic films form the core of Nordisk Film Distribution’s business, and Silje’s strong skills and extensive network will be crucial in helping us to achieve our goals,” says Rasmus Krogh, Vice President of Sales and Acquisitions at Nordisk Film Distribution.

“I am looking forward to starting in the position of Head of Nordic Acquisition at Nordisk Film Distribution. Nordisk Film is rapidly developing within the distribution of local films, and I am looking forward to joining the acquisition team and collaborating with Nordisk Film’s many talented partners. I’m pleased that Nordisk Film is investing even more in Nordic films in the future, and I’m looking forward to contributing positively to the company’s profile and development,” says Silje Nikoline Glimsdal.

Nordisk Film Distribution acquires, distributes and markets films and TV series in the Nordic region, including titles produced by Nordisk Film itself, as well as those produced by external partners and production companies. Approximately 60 new films are released in the Nordic region every year, around half of which are local Nordic titles. Nordisk Film Distribution is part of Nordisk Film, one of the world’s oldest film companies, which is owned by the Egmont Media Group.
