Svensk stumfilms guldalder og det ‘særlige nordiske’
Fra lørdag den 30. september løber en filmserie om svensk stumfilms guldalder med titlen The Swedish Challenge over lærredet ved stumfilmfestivalen i den norditalienske by Pordenone. Dette nummer af Kosmorama er helliget seriens film. For når talen falder på svensk stumfilms storhedstid, handler det næsten altid kun om Victor Sjöströms og Mauritz Stillers værker. Og så glider andre mindeværdige film ud i glemslens mørke.
Kosmorama kaster i seks engelsksprogede artikler lys over svensks guldalders oversete værker og deres afsmitning på nabolandenes filmproduktion, og på hvad det egentlig er, der forstås ved det ‘særlige nordiske’, som periodens film ofte eksponerer.

KOSMORAMA #269 / NEWSLETTER
The “Golden Age” of Swedish cinema
2017 marks the centennial of the start of what later has become known as the “Golden Age” of Swedish cinema. Most accounts of the Swedish "Golden Age" focus almost exclusively on the films of Victor Sjöström and Mauritz Stiller, leaving out other Swedish directors who made films in the same style and hence many wonderful films have slipped from view.
This issue of Kosmorama aims to broaden the conception of the Swedish “Golden Age” and to illuminate its impact on the neighboring film industries of Denmark, Norway and Finland. It is published in collaboration with this years’ Pordenone Festival series, The Swedish Challenge, and guest edited by Casper Tybjerg.

The Woman’s Point of View:
"Thora van Deken" (1920)

The 1922 Renaissance period piece Vem dömer (Love’s Crucible/Mortal Clay) has all the trappings of a Victor Sjöström masterpiece, and yet it has curiously been overlooked. In his article, Vito Adriaensens aims to change that, reclaiming the film for the crucial part of the Swedish “Golden Age” that it is.

The Transnational Nature of Finnish National Cinema in the Early 1920s
Taking Teuvo Puro’s 19th century period film Anna-Liisa (1922) as a case, Jaakko Seppälä demonstrates why Swedish cinema of the ”Golden Age” became an important model for Finnish filmmakers in the early 1920s.
