In 1. 91. 3, Nordisk released the first full length feature movie, Atlantis directed by Blom. After 1. 91. 3, Danish cinema began to lose its leading foothold in the film industry, with foreign companies having intensified competition in the production of feature length films.

They were introduced by Palladium, the rival of Nordisk Film. Despite these resurgences, at the end of the decade the Danish film industry was on its heels.
