OverviewNordic Film Cultures and Cinemas of Elsewhere introduces a new concept to Nordic film studies as well as to other small national, transnational and world cinema traditions. Examining overlooked 'elsewheres', the book presents Nordic cinemas as international, cosmopolitan, diasporic and geographically dispersed, from their beginnings in the early silent period to their present 21st-century dynamics. Exploring both canonical works by directors like Ingmar Bergman and Lars von Trier, as well as a wide range of unknown or overlooked narratives of movement, synthesis and resistance, the book offers a new model of inquiry into a multi-varied Scandinavian cultural lineage, and into small nation and pan-regional world cinemas.

Table of ContentsReviewsThis rich book on Nordic film cultures explores various cross-cultural contact zones through the prism of cinematic 'elsewheres'. Ranging from stylistic specificities to socio-historical contexts, and from media archeological excavations to current, transnational flows of media culture, it brilliantly illuminates marginalized spaces and lost horizons, while at the same time boldly proposing to modify the very coordinates of Nordic film culture.--Maaret Koskinen, Emeritus Professor of Cinema Studies, Stockholm University Author InformationAnna Westerstahl Stenport, Professor and Chair of the School of Modern Languages, Georgia Institute of Technology.
