Description

Review
[E]xcellent general guide...The work is useful because is draws together so much current information in English in one place; it is outstanding because of Qvist's focus on social history in his account of the Swedish film industry, his discussion in the filmographies of the films' reception, and his bibliographies' evaluative annotations, so extrodinarily helpful to novice researchers...For academic and large public libraries.ChoiceTogether, Qvist and von Bagh present a much-needed overview of their nations's cinema and provide a handy guide to the major players in the Swedish and Finnish industries.American Reference Books Annual

Book Description
This volume adds Sweden and Finland to the growing list of countries included in Greenwood Press' Reference Guides to the World's Cinema series. Both well known and other important but less known persons and films are included in the reference work which spans the silent film era to the 1990s. The volume is divided into two sections, one devoted to the Swedish entries and the other to the Finnish entries. An introduction to each section overviews the developments and trends in that particular country's film industry. Scholars of European film studies and of Scandinavian studies will appreciate the detailed information compiled in this one volume. Organized by country, the annotated entries are alphabetically arranged and include brief bibliographies and filmographies.
