										Description
					
A History of Swedish Experimental Film Culture: From Early Animation 
      to Video Art is the first scholarly book to be published on the 
      history of Swedish experimental film. It represents the result of a 
      research project funded by the Swedish Research Council in 
2006–2008. 
      The study depicts not only the history of Swedish experimental film 
– 
      its institutions, filmmakers and films – but also considers this 
history 
      in relation to larger socio-cultural contexts and international 
      perspectives.
Copublished with The National Library of Sweden
																				Contents
					
1. “The Writing of a History of Swedish Experimental Film” deals with 
      the theoretical and historiographical aspects of writing a national 
      history of experimental film culture.

2. “Swedish Experimental Film until the 1950s” covers the early years 
      from early animation and cine-clubs to major figures such as Viking 
      Eggeling and Rune Hagberg.

3. “The Emergence of Experimental Film” presents two vibrant contexts 
      for Swedish experimental film culture, The Independent Film Group and 
      the film art scene that was connected with Moderna Museet and its 
      versatile director Pontus Hultén.

4. “The Art Movements of the 1960s” describes different avant-garde 
      venues in Sweden and their transnational trajectories ranging from 
      regional Fluxus-groups to E.A.T. in New York.

5. “The Extension of Independent Film Production” covers the birth of 
      new institutions for filmmaking and depicts their role in the 
filmmaking 
      of artists such as Öyvind Fahlström, Leo Reis, Bo Jonsson, Åke 
Karlung, 
      Olle Hedman and Gunvor Nelson.

6. “The Expanded Field of the Experimental Moving Image” describes the 
      introduction of video in Sweden and how an expanded experimental 
moving 
      image culture has affected Swedish experimental film culture.
