Film in SwedenSwedish film: not just Ingmar Bergman. In an international perspective, mainly three great directors have represented Swedish cinematic arts. During the two decades before 1930, Victor Sjostrom and Mauritz Stiller personified Swedens classic silent film period. Since the 1950s Ingmar Bergman has been at the center of continuous worldwide interest, with such artistic successes as Smiles of a Summer Night, The Seventh Seal, Cries and Whispers and Fanny and Alexander.

2008-05-08T07:00:00Z

This is a clip featuring Lon Chaney, Marc McDermott and Ruth King in Victor Sjöström's HE Who Gets Slapped (1924). "HE Who Gets Slapped is the story of a scientific genius who is humiliated by his philandering wife and a major career set-back. To express his pain, bitterness and anger he becomes a circus clown who seems to enjoy the frequently cruel slapstick antics of his new colleagues. While in the circus, he finds a chance at renewal when he falls for a lovely bareback rider. But will he at last find happiness? Or will tragedy continue to be his closest companion?"

Wild Strawberries (1957) 10/10

2008-09-15T02:19:46Z

Wild Strawberries (1957) (Smultronstället) Sweden, B/W, English Subtitles "This is one of the truly outstanding works of post-war European cinema. Ingmar Bergman's allegorical road-movie slips between present and past, dream and reality to explore the external and internal worlds of its ageing central character. Professor Isak Borg (played by silent cinema actor/director Victor Sjöström) is a 78-year-old widower. He embarks on a car journey from Stockholm to Lund, where he is to receive a honorary degree from his old university. The egotistical scientist is accompanied by his daughter-in-law Marianne (Ingrid Thulin). Scripted while Bergman was being treated in hospital for two months whilst suffering gastric ulcers, "Wild Strawberries" emerges as one of the Swedish director's most elegiac and humane films. It builds, through its flashback structure, a compassionate portrait of a man coming to terms with the disappointments and sorrows of an emotionally constrained life." -Tom Dawson, bbc.co.uk Director/Writer: Ingmar Bergman Cinematography: Gunnar Fischer Cast: Victor Sjöström, Jullan Kindahl, Ingrid Thulin, Bibi Andersson, Gunnar Björnstrand, Folke Sundquist, Björn Bjelfvenstam, Gunnel Broström, Gertrud Fridh, Sif Ruud, Gunnar Sjöberg

Cinema Europe 30 - finale

2008-09-04T16:57:14Z

Cinema Europe: The Other Hollywood is a 1996 documentary produced by David Gill and silent film historian Kevin Brownlow. It chronicles the birth of European cinema, from the Lumiere brothers to World War I, and then the first golden age of Swedish cinema, from the formation of Svenska Bio to the departure for Hollywood of Stiller and Sjöström. The French build the first studio, invent the traveling shot, and experiment in sound. Max Linder becomes the first comedic star. The Italians do spectacle and early realism. Germans invent film propaganda and have Lubitsch. The Danish cinema is rich before the war. An affectionate portrait of Swedish cinema appreciates its cinematography, led by Jaenzon, its conversion of novels into film, and the emergence of a production company that owned its own theaters. The entire documentary is narrated by maverick filmmaker and actor, Kenneth Brannagh. Original music in the film was composed by Carl Davis, Philip Appleby & Nic Raine. The documentary was shown from time to time on public television stations, usually at late night slots, due to its length and occasional mature content. The documentary was originally divided into the following sections: 1-"Where It All Began" (Introductory Episode): Highlighting the world's first public presentation of films in Paris, the comedies by Max Linder, Abel Gance's J'Accuse and the onset of World War I. 2-"Art's Promised Land" (Sweden): Including Ingeborg Holm by Victor Sjostrom and Greta Garbo's star-making performance opposite Lars Hanson in Gosta Berling's Saga. 3-"The Unchained Camera" (Germany): Featuring The Battleship Potemkin by Sergei Eisenstein, Metropolis by Fritz Lang, Joyless Street staring Greta Garbo, The White Hell of Pitz Palu featuring Leni Riefenstahl and Louise Brooks becomes a star in Pandora's Box. 4-"The Music of Light" (France): Highlighting Abel Gance's masterpiece, Napoleon. 5-"Opportunity Lost" (Britain): Exploring the real career of Alfred Hitchcock. 6-"End of an Er
