| | Written by: Gentofte Kino & Thomas Hauerslev | Date: 22.12.2025 | The beautiful Gentofte Kino located just outside central Copenhagen. The 2026 GIFF 70 70mm Festival takes place from Friday 27. February - Sunday 1. March 2026.
Welcome to the sixth edition of the annual Gentofte International Film Festival, or "GIFF 70". With support from The Danish Film Institute and Carlsberg, GIFF 70 will focus exclusively on the majestic and legendary 7OMM format. The 2026 70mm Festival takes place from Friday 27. February - Sunday 1. March 2026."Our ambitions are high, and in the future our aim is also to have international guests travelling to Gentofte to see films in the authentic 70mm format at the Kino"
-, says Sune Lind Thomsen, manager of Gentofte Kino.
Sune bought the Kino in March 2020, and his ambition was to be able to show all film formats, including 70mm. GIFF 70 is a celebration of large format films, and to the greatest film makers. Sune bought an authentic Philips DP70 Todd-AO projector and had it installed. The premiere of 70mm was Christopher Nolan's "Tenet" in blazing 70mm in August 2020. In 2023 - 2024 "Oppenheimer" played for more than a year, making it the most successful record breaking long-runner of Gentofte Kino since 1938.
