A History of Danish Cinema

Editat de C. Claire Thomson, Isak Thorsen, Pei-Sze Chow
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 oct 2021
The first English-language book to cover Danish cinema from the 1890s to the present day, this wide-ranging collection places well-known auteurs such as Carl Th. Dreyer, Lars von Trier and Susanne Bier in their cultural context, and introduces a number of genres and themes that are less familiar to international audiences, including film stars of the silent era, children's film, folk comedies, porn film, trends in documentary and Greenlandic cinema. With twenty-two chapters, all of them specially commissioned for this volume, A History of Danish Cinema explores the role of screen representations and film policy in shaping Denmark's cultural identity, but also emphasises just how internationally mobile Danish films and filmmakers have always been -- showcasing this small nation's extraordinary contribution to world cinema. C. Claire Thomson is Associate Professor of Scandinavian Film at UCL and the author of Short Films from a Small Nation: Danish Informational Cinema 1935-1965 (EUP, 2018) Isak Thorsen is the author of Nordisk Films Kompagni 1906-1924: The Rise and Fall of the Polar Bear (John Libbey, 2017) Pei-Sze Chow is Assistant Professor of Media and Culture at the University of Amsterdam and the author of Transnational Screen Culture in Scandinavia: Mediating Regional Space and Identity in the Øresund Region (Palgrave, forthcoming)
