This first-ever study of Swedish experimental film represents the results of a Swedish Research Council initiative in 2006-2008. The essays address the institutions, filmmakers, and films important to the history of experimental film in Sweden, and place this history in larger artistic and socio-cultural contexts. The authors look at the work of the Independent Film Group, regional Fluxus groups, E.A.T., and figures such as Viking Eggeling, Rune Hagberg, Pontus Hultén, Öyvind Fahlström, Leo Reis, Bo Jonsson, and Åke Karlung.About the Author: Lars Gustaf Andersson is Associate Professor in Film Studies at Lund University.John Sundholm is Associate Professor in Film Studies at Karlstad University.Astrid Söderbergh Widding is Professor of Cinema Studies at Stockholm University.
