  • CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS of FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and Counting…
    5 JAN 18 1 FEB 18 1 | 5 JAN 18 - 1 FEB 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECinema.COM CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 39 Years, 2 Months, and counting… As you’ll spot deep within this programme (and hinted at on the front cover) January 2018 sees the start of a series of films that lead up to celebrations in October marking the 40th birthday of Filmhouse as a public cinema on Lothian Road. We’ve chosen to screen a film from every year we’ve been bringing the very best cinema to the good people of Edinburgh, and while it is tremendous fun looking back through the history of what has shown here, it was quite an undertaking going through all the old programmes and choosing what to show, and a bit of a personal journey for me as one who started coming here as a customer in the mid-80s (I know, I must have started very young...). At that time, I’d no idea that Filmhouse had only been in existence for less than 10 years – it seemed like such an established, essential institution and impossible to imagine it not existing in a city such as Edinburgh. My only hope is that the cinema is as important today as I felt it was then, and that the giants on whose shoulders we currently stand feel we’re worthy of their legacy. I hope you can join us for at least some of the screenings on this trip down memory lane... And now, back to the now.

  • The Other in Contemporary Swedish Cinema
    Division of Art History and Visual Studies Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences Lund University Sweden The Other in Contemporary Swedish Cinema Portrayals of Non-White Swedes in Swedish Cinema 2000-2010 A Master’s Thesis for the Degree Master of Arts (Two Years) in Visual Culture Elina Svantesson Spring 2012 Supervisor: Ingrid Stigsdotter 1 LUND UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT DIVISION OF ART HISTORY AND VISUAL STUDIES / FILM STUDIES MASTER OF ARTS IN VISUAL CULTURE The other in contemporary Swedish cinema Portrayals of non-white Swedes in Swedish cinema 2000-2010 Elina Svantesson The evident place that film has in society makes it a powerful medium that journeys across borders of nationalities, sexualities, and ethnicities. Film represents, and since representation is of importance when acquiring knowledge and a continuous changing medium, it must be scrutinised continuously. In this thesis, contemporary Swedish mainstream cinema (2000-2010) has been examined for its representations of immigrants, Arabs and non-white Swedes. Concepts of culture, identity and whiteness are used to make sense of these representations and politics is shown to have a strong impact on the medium. Making use of the notion of “whiteness”, the thesis suggests that non-white Swedes are considered different to white Swedes. The Arab, for example, is given many negative traits previously seen in anti-Semitic, pre-WWII images of the Jew. Furthermore, many films were proven to exclude non-white Swedes from a depicted society, geographical and social. This exclusion of “the other” can be considered a representation in itself, a reflection of a divided Swedish society. Non-white Swedes are a large group of people, and it is argued that instead of portraying a static, shallow image of non-white Swedes, the Swedish film industry and society, could benefit from anticipating a new cinematic society and by including this group.

    ROY ANDERSSON RETROSPECTIVE AT MOMA PRESENTS THE DIRECTOR’S SHORT FILMS, TELEVISION COMMERCIALS, AND THEATRICAL FEATURES Exhibition Includes World Premiere of Tomorrow’s Another Day—A Documentary Shot During the Production of Andersson’s Most Recent Film, You, the Living Filmmaker in Focus: Roy Andersson September 10–18, 2009 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, August 7, 2009—The Museum of Modern Art presents Filmmaker in Focus: Roy Andersson, a retrospective of the full oeuvre of Roy Andersson (Swedish, b. 1943), covering four decades of work, from his school projects and short films to his television commercials and major feature films. This exhibition is part of the Filmmaker in Focus series at MoMA, which highlights the achievements of a director with an aesthetically and critically established career in filmmaking. The exhibition will be on view from September 10 through 18, 2009, in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters, and is organized by Jytte Jensen, Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. Andersson, who rarely travels, will introduce the first six screenings in the series, providing a unique opportunity to hear the director talk about his films outside of Sweden. Andersson’s earliest films, rarely shown school projects from the 1960s, are related thematically and stylistically to the films of the then-influential Czech New Wave. His first feature, which he presented as his thesis at the Swedish Film Institute, is A Swedish Love Story (1970). With the gorgeous Swedish summer as a backdrop, the film portrays the pure love that arises between the daughter of a refrigerator salesman and the son of a car mechanic, offering a glimpse into the lives and homes of the people of the Swedish Social Democracy during its heyday.
