Switzerland Introduction Dear Colleagues of National Sections, For the past five years we have been leading a campaign entitled BEST BOOKS ON FILM for promoting the best books on film throughout the world. In general, we have recommended 144 books from 33 countries in our 4 annual booklets published so far. As usual, these booklets are mostly addressed to the book editors from all over the world. All the recommended books are carefully selected by experts and critics of the national sections of FIPRESCI. We would like to remind you that according to the resolution widely accepted by The General Assembly of FIPRESCI, the boards of all our national sections are obliged to translate the booklets into their local languages and send such information to the appropriate publishers in their countries. Please note that those publishers do not read our Internet pages! All the sections that neglected to do the aforementioned things are kindly requested to make up this deficiency quickly, remembering that even a five-year delay will not spoil the meaning of a good book. We initiated our international campaign in 2008 and hope to continue this with your assistance! At the moment we are starting work on our booklet “Best Books On Film 6” and we would like to hear from each national FIPRESCI section about good books published during the last few years. Please send us the information in English regarding 1 – 6 books and let us know in 2 – 4 sentences why a given book might be interesting for a worldwide audience and include all necessary details about each book such as the publisher(s), their regular addresses, e-mails and telephone numbers so that the two or more publishing houses from different countries can get in touch. All the books suggested this way will be recommended in 2013. Please send all the information about the books chosen by your national section to both e-mail addresses of our two editors of BEST BOOKS ON FILM: 1) [email protected] 2) [email protected] The fifth edition of our booklet brings a list of 37 newly recommended books from 9 countries. This makes the total number of 181 selected books all together. Every publisher in the world has a chance to find something interesting! We are looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

  • Swedish Literature on the British Market 1998-2013: a Systemic
    Swedish Literature on the British Market 1998-2013: A Systemic Approach Agnes Broomé A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy UCL Department of Scandinavian Studies School of European Languages, Culture and Society September 2014 2 I, Agnes Broomé, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. …............................................................................... 3 4 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the role and function of contemporary Swedish fiction in English translation on the British book market in the period 1998-2013. Drawing on Bourdieu’s Field Theory, Even Zohar’s Polysystem Theory and DeLanda’s Assemblage Theory, it constructs a model capable of dynamically describing the life cycle of border-crossing books, from selection and production to marketing, sales and reception. This life cycle is driven and shaped by individual position-takings of book market actants, and by their complex interaction and continual evolution. The thesis thus develops an understanding of the book market and its actants that deliberately resists static or linear perspectives, acknowledging the centrality of complex interaction and dynamic development to the analysis of publishing histories of translated books. The theoretical component is complemented by case studies offering empirical insight into the model’s application. Each case study illuminates the theory from a different angle, creating thereby a composite picture of the complex, essentially unmappable processes that underlie the logic of the book market. The first takes as its subject the British publishing history of crime writer Liza Marklund, as well as its wider context, the Scandinavian crime boom.

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.

  • Production Notes
    A Film by John Madden Production Notes Synopsis Even the best secret agents carry a debt from a past mission. Rachel Singer must now face up to hers… Filmed on location in Tel Aviv, the U.K., and Budapest, the espionage thriller The Debt is directed by Academy Award nominee John Madden (Shakespeare in Love). The screenplay, by Matthew Vaughn & Jane Goldman and Peter Straughan, is adapted from the 2007 Israeli film Ha-Hov [The Debt]. At the 2011 Beaune International Thriller Film Festival, The Debt was honoured with the Special Police [Jury] Prize. The story begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (played by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and Stephan (two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds of the upcoming Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy). All three have been venerated for decades by Israel because of the secret mission that they embarked on for their country back in 1965-1966, when the trio (portrayed, respectively, by Jessica Chastain [The Tree of Life, The Help], Marton Csokas [The Lord of the Rings, Dream House], and Sam Worthington [Avatar, Clash of the Titans]) tracked down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace), the feared Surgeon of Birkenau, in East Berlin. While Rachel found herself grappling with romantic feelings during the mission, the net around Vogel was tightened by using her as bait. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team’s mission was accomplished – or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations that compel Rachel to take matters into her own hands.

  • Vampire in the Stockholm Suburbs: Let the Right One in and Genre Hybridity
    JSCA 1 (1) pp. 55–70 Intellect Limited 2010 Journal of Scandinavian Cinema Volume 1 Number 1 © 2010 Intellect Ltd Article. English language. doi: 10.1386/jsca.1.1.55_1 feature article ROCHELLE WRIGHT University of Illinois Vampire in the Stockholm suburbs: Let the Right One In and genre hybridity ABSTRACT KEYWORDS The article argues that one crucial factor in the success of the Swedish vampire vampire films film Låt den rätte komma in/Let the Right One In (Alfredson, 2008) is that it genre seamlessly merges several apparently disparate genres to create a hybrid form that hybridity appeals to widely divergent audiences. A detailed analysis of the film demonstrates gender identity how it simultaneously draws on and departs from common themes and motifs of the Other indigenous Swedish film as well as vampire film tradition, combining elements of Sweden the horror film, the coming-of-age story and the realistic socio-psychological drama to create a unique mix of the innovative and the familiar. A comparison of critical responses in Sweden with those in the English-speaking world sheds further light on genre-specific expectations and ways the film transcends them. When John Ajvide Lindqvist’s Låt den rätte komma in/Let the Right One In was published in 2004, he declared it to be the first Swedish vampire novel since Victor Rydberg’s Vampyren/‘The Vampire’, published in 1848 (Ordfront 2004). Though this claim may be hyperbole, the horror genre, as opposed to crime fiction, has hardly been a staple of recent Scandinavian popular literature. 55 JSCA 1.1_Art_Wright_55-70.indd 55 11/1/10 11:53:53 AM Rochelle Wright Let the Right One In received almost universally positive reviews and was hugely popular with readers as well.
