The Threat From Above
| March 5, 2011 | Posted by Martin under Theses |
I wrote ‘The threat from above. The impact on Swedish science fiction film from the Swedish art cinema institution’ or ‘Hotet från ovan. Konstfilmsinstitutionens inverkan på den svenska science fiction-filmen’ as my Bachelor degree thesis at Lund University, during 2010/11. It is written in Swedish, but if there is a demand and I got time for it, I will gladly translate it into English.
Abstract
The production of Swedish science fiction is unknown to most people. The thesis studies which Swedish movies that can be classified as science fiction and how the Swedish art cinema institution has affected the production. The movies are analyzed and graded by how strong the science fiction influences are
. The result eventuates in 29 Swedish science fiction movies, that strong influences are uncommon, and in that these often have received a negative reception from the press. At the same time there is a distinct diversity in creators, content and in which genres are represented, with an exception for the action genre. The thesis lays the ground for further research, proves that there has been an influence from the Swedish art cinema institution, but does not draw any wide conclusions about its impact.
