Elk Film is a production company based in Copenhagen. Dedicated to developing and producing documentary films, series and fictional adaptations for global audiences.

Elk’s team of producers and creatives specialize in high profile stories backed by elaborate research and finely crafted narratives. We actively help shape narratives and challenge filmmakers all the way from idea to final film. We combine a worldwide network of leading researchers, both journalistic and anthropological, with a lean experienced production infrastructure, state-of-the-art equipment department, editing suites, production managers, financial department, and financing team.

Our aim is to bridge filmmaking talent with a global market and financing infrastructure. We are well positioned in the existing North European production structure, involving public film funds and broadcasters. We are also engaged in the intersection of the new developing equity and streamer market, bridging distribution and equity financing already from a development stage.

The company was founded in 2013 by CEO Andreas Dalsgaard and Editor Nicolás Nørgaard Staffolani.

 

Elk Film Mission Statement

Founded on the belief that cinema is a shared experience which can do more than inform, ELK FILM works to connect emotional storytelling with critical inquiry, creating cinematic experiences that are both deeply personal and socially consequential. Through character-driven narratives and cinematic ambition, we explore the political, technological, cultural, and economic forces shaping contemporary life.

Our work moves across borders and perspectives, combining intimate human stories with larger systemic realities. Whether investigating power, identity, technology, truth, extremism, inequality, or global transformation, we seek to create stories that resonate far beyond the screen and engage audiences in meaningful reflection about the world they inhabit.

Films such as The Lost LeonardoHacking HateAs the Tide Comes InDaughter of GenghisRescue, American Doctorand The Oligarch and the Art Dealer reflect a shared commitment to uncovering the hidden structures, human consequences, and moral complexities behind the headlines of our time. Across both feature documentaries and series.

For ELK FILM, cinema is not simply an act of observation. It is a cultural and democratic practice. A way of empowering people to better understand the systems that shape their lives and to participate more consciously in the societies they are part of.

Our ambition is to build long-term collaborations with filmmakers, institutions, broadcasters, foundations, and partners who share a commitment to independent storytelling, democratic values, and meaningful societal impact. Together, we aim to create films and platforms that contribute to a more informed, reflective, and connected public sphere.
