About this product
Product Information
Although relatively small, the northern countries of Scandinavia have made a disproportionately large contribution to world cinema. Indeed, some of their films are among the best known of all times, including The Seventh Seal, Dancer in the Dark, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. And Scandinavian directors are also among the best known, just to mention Ingmar Bergman and Lars von Trier. But there is much more to the cinema of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland than that, and this book shows us what they have been accomplishing over more than a century from the beginnings of cinema until the present. The Historical Dictionary of Scandinavian Cinema shows just how long and busy this history has been in the chronology, starting in 1896. The introduction then describes the situation in each one of the component countries, all of which approached and developed the field in a similar but also slightly different manner. The dictionary section, with over 400 substantial entries, looks at the situation in greater detail, with over 400 substantial entries on major actors, directors and others, significant films, various genres and themes, and subjects such as animation, ethnicity, migration and censorship. Given its contribution to world cinema it is good to finally have an encyclopedia like this which can meet the interests of the scholar and researcher but also the movie fan.

Reviews
A welcome addition to the literature....Since the authors seek to accommodate readers at all levels of familiarity with Scandinavian film, the book serves as an excellent starting point as well as an ongoing reference for further study., [T]his is a very good single-volume introduction to the history of Scandinavian cinema. Its passages are longer than dictionary entries, shorter than encyclopedic essays, and more browser friendly than either, making it well suited for general readers and lower-division undergraduates., Scandinavian cinema has a rich and varied history but, aside from a handful of names and titles, is relatively unknown in America. This dictionary of directors, actors, films, genres, film companies, studios, and governmental institutions associated with cinema in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden attempts to remedy that. It includes a chronology and detailed bibliography (though many of the cited titles are not in English) and a 35-page introduction to provide context....Most appropriate for academic and public libraries with comprehensive film collections., Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden have been the source of some of the world's greatest films, directors, actors, and actresses. Including works like Ingmar Bergman's haunting The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Scandinavian cinema dates back to 1897. Five film studies professors have here combined their talents to produce 400 cross-referenced entries covering the industry's people, films, themes, and studios. These are preceded by detailed cinematic histories of each country and a list of acronyms and followed by a detailed bibliography arranged by country and then by topic., Scandinavian cinema has a rich and varied history but, aside from a handful of names and titles, isrelatively unknown in America.

Still waiting for this order to arrive. First response they made on this order was to send me a pamphlet on Faires. Today they sent me a book on Gurdjieff.I neither ordered nor am interested in either; just want the book (see above) I ordered and paid for. And trying to engage in communication with them has been a qualifiable mess, and ongoing waste of time. Woeful experience.
