Swedish Film: An Introduction and Reader gives a wide and yet concise presentation of the history of Swedish film through a number of articles by Swedish and international film scholars. The book draws upon a rich tradition of research on Swedish cinema, and it offers a varied and inspiring introduction to the history from the very first film screenings to contemporary works. Included are sections on the Swedish cinema institutions; silent films; genre cinema; auteurs and art cinema, and a reflection on the film industry before and after the new millennium. Combining in-depth studies with contextualizing introductions, Swedish film: An Introduction and Reader provides a rich spectrum of perspectives on Swedish film previously unavailable in English. The book will be essential reading for students, scholars and anyone who has an interest in Swedish cinema!
