Born in Copenhagen in 1957, Per Nielsen started his professional career at the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) at the age of 23, after having studied literature at university, in addition to pursuing his vocation as a musician, founding and composing for his two groups, Buztop and Frontline. This musical aspect was enormously important, due to his having created the News jingles for the Danish radio and television programmes produced in the last 25 years and winning the Ben Webster and State Arts Foundation Awards for his work.
At the DR, he produced radio and television programmes, later becoming Consultant/Executive Producer for Children and Youth Feature Films at the Danish Film Institute, producing films by Peter Flinth, Wikke & Rasmussen, Thomas Vinterberg or Lone Scherfig. Returning to the DR, this time at the TV Department, he co-produced films by Danish directors like Per Fly or Anders Thomas Jensen. He moved temporarily to Norway as Head of Script Development and Executive Producer of Norwegian Film Development, the organisation in charge of promoting cinema in that country. He returned to Denmark and production for Peter Aalbaek Jensen, founder of Zentropa, where he worked as a script consultant for the head players in the Scandinavian film industry (Nimbus Film, Danish Novel Film, A Film, Nordic Lights, Norsk Film A/S, Nordic Film and TV Fund and Nordisk Film).
He later joined the Swedish Film Institute as a consultant, acting as such for four years on over 50 films from all Nordic countries, including Kay Pollak’s Oscar-nominated As It Is in Heaven, Maria Blom’s Dalecarlians, Josef Fares’ Zozo, Lars von Trier’s Dogville and Manderlay, and Erik Poppe’s Hawaii-Oslo.
Per Nielsen currently works as a Senior Executive for Feature Film at Film i Väst, the biggest regional Film Foundation Centre in Scandinavia, while continuing to compose music for different media, translating opera, and writing for television, cinema and theatre.
