The Life and Afterlife of Swedish Biograph
From Commercial Circulation to Archival Practices
Samenvatting
Sweden’s early film industry was dominated by Swedish Biograph. It is nostalgically remembered as the generative site of a nascent national artform, encapsulating a quintessentially Nordic aesthetic. Film scholar Jan Olsson takes a hard look at this established, romanticized narrative and offers a far more complete, complex, and nuanced story.
