Amatör och avantgarde : de mindre filmkulturerna i efterkrigstidens Sverige
An important feature in the Swedish avant-garde film culture of the 40s and 50s is the creation of a public sphere for cinephilia. At first this public sphere was an "Öffentlichkeit" in the sense of Negt and Kluge. No distinction was made between production, exhibition and distribution; film theoretical reading, film viewing, and film production were not separated, nor were the films categorized.
