Tobias Lindholm (Danish: [tsʰoˈpiˀæs ˈle̝nˌhʌlˀm]; born 1977) is a Danish screenwriter and film director best known for gritty moral dramas. Lindholm first received attention for his work as a television writer on the popular Danish political TV-series Borgen, credited on all 20 episodes of the series' first two seasons, either as an episode writer or storyline contributor. Then, in 2011, Lindholm was awarded a special Bodil Award for having two feature films Submarino (as co-writer) and R (as director and writer) in competition for that year's Best Danish Film, which the latter movie also won.[1] His hostage drama A Hijacking (2012) premiered at the 2012 Venice Film Festival in the Orizzonti section.[2]

He is also a frequent collaborator with film director Thomas Vinterberg, with whom he has written the screenplays for feature films Submarino (2010) and The Hunt (2012).

Lindholm directed the 2015 drama A War (Danish: Krigen) about a Danish military company in Afghanistan that is captured by the Taliban, and the commander is accused of war crimes.[3] The film was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards.[4]
