Overview
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, childrens 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 Denmarks cultural identity, but also emphasises just how internationally mobile Danish films and filmmakers have always been showcasing this small nations extraordinary contribution to world cinema.
