The Alice Award was a Danish film award presented annually at the Copenhagen International Film Festival to the Best Female Director. The award was named after Danish director Alice O'Fredericks (1899–1964) who, with 72 feature films, is the most productive film director in Danish cinematic history, and her 1950 film The Red Horses remains Denmark's greatest audience success. The nominated films are judged by an independent panel of men and women from the Danish film industry and the cultural arts community.
