It turned out however, that over the course of the 80s all Danish films were, more or less, reliant upon government support. There were artistic films, which in essence were state-sponsored, and there were mainstream films, which in essence were privately funded. In the 70s there had been two main paths in Danish film. Also, a clause was introduced that at least 25% of the aid would be spent on children's films and youth films. In recognition of the fact that it was especially Danish films that kept movie theaters afloat, the Film Law of 1982 granted significantly more funds to support films. In 1982 only seven Danish feature films were released, which altogether sold fewer than one million tickets. At the same time it was a critical period, where production fell to a dangerously low level. In the 1980s Danish films, twice, succeeded at winning an Oscar in Hollywood (as Best International Film), something that had never happened before.
