Founded in 2007, the company was formerly known as Danish Documentary and has developed a filmography spanning social affairs, politics, culture, science, personal identity, and contemporary life.

The company's catalogue also includes projects made with international settings or subjects, indicating an ambition beyond a solely domestic Danish audience. The available reference material does not identify a parent company, public listing, founder, official website, ownership structure, or financial results. The company is based at Kvæsthusgade 5 in Copenhagen. Its public filmography records activity from at least 2009 through 2023, with later credits including Apolonia, Apolonia. Because the available source material provides limited corporate information, the company is best understood primarily through its documentary output and its association with established Danish documentary filmmakers rather than through disclosed commercial metrics or a broader consumer-facing brand architecture.
History
Danish Documentary Production was established in 2007 as a Danish documentary-film production company. The company was formerly known as Danish Documentary, and its base is identified as Kvæsthusgade 5 in Copenhagen. From its early years, the company assembled a filmography covering a broad range of factual subjects rather than concentrating on one recurring franchise or genre. The available reference identifies Eva Mulvad, Pernille Rose Grønkjær, and Mikala Krogh as directors and executive producers leading the company. The recorded filmography begins with productions such as Cairo skrald in 2009, followed in 2010 by Fever and Hjemmefronten - fjenden bag hækken. The 2011 slate included Love addict - historier om drømme, besættelse og længsel, Ballroom Dancer, and Det gode liv. In 2012, the company was credited with Kongens foged, Kongens foged - sat på gaden, En mors kamp for et normalt liv, and Free the mind. The repeated listing of Kongens foged - sat på gaden in the reference filmography is retained as a single milestone-level credit rather than treated as separate works. The company's output continued to combine Danish projects with films aimed at international audiences. Ai Weiwei The Fake Case appeared in 2013, followed in 2014 by Something Better to Come, Ekstra Bladet: uden for citat, Slottet, and Så meget godt i vente. Later credits included Mand falder in 2015 and a group of 2016 projects including Aquarela, BUGS, and Amateurs in Space. The 2017 filmography listed A Year of Hope, Den anden side, A Modern Man, and Auf Safari. The 2019 entries demonstrated continued breadth, including I Walk, Love Child, School of Seduction, Hunting for Hedonia, Kirsebæreventyret, and The Cave. The source also records 2020 credits for Apolonia, Apolonia, The Missing Films, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, and Solutions. Apolonia, Apolonia appears again with a 2023 date in the supplied reference material, indicating a later production or release-related credit, although the source does not explain the distinction between the 2020 and 2023 entries. Across this history, Danish Documentary Production is represented as a production-led creative company whose identity is defined by documentary filmmaking and the work of its associated directors and executive producers. The available material does not disclose the company's incorporation structure, ownership, revenue, distribution agreements, official website, or detailed release and award history. Consequently, the most supportable account of its development is a chronology of its establishment, leadership, name evolution, Copenhagen base, and documented film output.
