11	Write or Perish : How Screenwriters Author their Careers Magnéli, Johan January 2015 (has links) The aim of the present study was to investigate how the impermanence of contract work affects working lives, self-perceptions and the career strategies of Swedish screenwriters of finding and keeping work. Furthermore, it also explored how screenwriters experience their abilities to exercise authorial leverage over media content. Introducing the concept of “career authoring” to cover different aspects of the professional lives of screenwriters such as managing a career, establishing authorship and contractual negotiations, the study was able to embrace various mind-sets and strategies for career success. Combining ethnographical studies and textual analyses the study was able to ascertain that the contingency of the Swedish film and television industries necessitates strategies to cultivate reputations, industrial visibility, consciously receive writing credits and conform to a traditional division of labour. Moreover, the study illuminated the importance of contractual negotiations for career success in terms of both retaining and wavering rights to their work. Strategies for exercise increased authorial leverage were not only confined to the script, but extended beyond the page, where the latter accentuated processes of reconfiguring traditional conceptions of screenwriters’ abilities to influence media content. screenwriters career authoring authoring authorship career strategies authorial leverage contractual negotiations swedish film industry swedish television industry cultural work cinema studies television studies manusförfattare filmvetenskap karriärsstrategier karriär strategier kontraktsförhandlingar svensk filmindustri svensk television
12	The Importance of Being Funded : A Case Study of the Public Funding, Production, and Style of Pica Pica (1987) Appelqvist, Tove January 2020 (has links) Given the 2017 discontinuation of the Swedish Film Agreement and the surrounding debate on the rationales of film policy, this thesis will conduct a historical study of a particular instance of Swedish film policy history, thus seeking to contribute to the understanding of the consequences of film policy for the outcome of film. Looking at the relationship between Swedish public broadcasting (SVT) and the Swedish Film Institute (SFI) during the mid-1980’s, this thesis aims to investigate the historical background of the funding and production process that enabled the creation of Pica Pica, a feature documentary film on magpies made by director Mikael Kristersson. By applying Geir Vestheim’s theory of the four instrumental arguments for public support of the arts and through an idea analysis, the thesis will investigate what arguments could be said to be pivotal for the funding and production of Pica Pica. Analyzing policy documents concerning the SFI and SVT, as well as using interviews conducted with the people in decision-making positions at the time, the thesis investigates what rationales and circumstances might be said to have informed the funding and production of Pica Pica. Furthermore, Kristersson’s film will be analyzed in relation to concepts of ecocinema and in relation to its lineage in nature portrayal in Swedish film. Through its investigation of the role of the funding and production circumstances for the stylistic outcome of the film, the thesis seeks to contribute to the understanding of the importance and consequences of film policy and production organization for the outcome of film in current times withal.

13	“Pansarskeppet kvinnligheten” deconstructed : A study of Eva Dahlbeck’s stardom in the intersection between Swedish post-war popular film culture and the auteur Ingmar Bergman Kobayashi, Saki January 2018 (has links) Eva Dahlbeck was one of Sweden’s most respected and popular actresses from the 1940s to the 1960s and is now remembered for her work with Ingmar Bergman, who allegedly nicknamed her “Pansarskeppet kvinnligheten” (“H.M.S. Femininity”). However, Dahlbeck had already established herself as a star long before her collaborations with Bergman. The popularity of Bergman’s three comedies (Waiting Women (Kvinnors väntan, 1952), A Lesson in Love (En lektion i kärlek, 1954), and Smiles of a Summer Night (Sommarnattens leende, 1955)) suggests that they catered to the Swedish audience’s desire to see the star Dahlbeck. To explore the interrelation between Swedish post-war popular film culture and the auteur Bergman, this thesis examines the stardom of Dahlbeck, who can, as inter-texts between various films, bridge the gap between popular film and auteur film. Focusing on the decade from 1946 to 1956, the process whereby her star image was created, the aspects that constructed it, and its relation to her characters in three Bergman titles will be analysed. In doing so, this thesis will illustrate how the concept “Pansarskeppet kvinnligheten” was interactively constructed by Bergman’s films, the post-war Swedish film industry, and the media discourses which cultivated the star cult as a part of popular culture. “Pansarskeppet kvinnligheten” Eva Dahlbeck Ingmar Bergman Swedish film stars Waiting Women A Lesson in Love Smiles of a Summer Night Richard Dyer Filmjournalen “Pansarskeppet kvinnligheten” Eva Dahlbeck Ingmar Bergman Kvinnors väntan En lektion i kärlek Sommarnattens leende Filmjournalen Studies on Film Filmvetenskap
14	Cars in Sweden's Cinema & Television : AI-Guided Research of Automobiles in Sweden’s Images from 1950-1980 Steck, Maximilian January 2021 (has links) This research project centers around cinematic and societal representation of the automobile in post-war Swedish cinema and television. Due to political neutrality during World War II, Sweden’s economy benefited from an extensive surplus immediately after Germany’s capitulation in 1945. Economic prosperity was in return transferred onto Swedish society, which enabled an already high degree of motorization of Swedes in mid-1950s, while neighboring European countries struggled rebuilding overall infrastructures, basic food supply lines and often entire cities. Naturally, this would conclude that Swedes presumably had a favorable attitude towards cars from the beginning, ultimately being reflected in some sort of cultural memory. However, Stig Dagerman’s 1948 short story “To Kill a Child” (Att döda ett barn), later on realized as short film in 1953, outlines a rather suspicious and cautious attitude towards automobiles. Cars’ mass-media portrayal in Swedish cinema and television was analyzed with current AI-techniques, therewith observing notable changes in imagery, themes and attitudes surrounding cars over 30 years in history. Filmarkivet.se served as main source with 114 currently available media artifacts from 1950 to 1980, including a wide spectrum of footage i.e., weekly newsreels, private filmmakers’ collections, television commercials, movie trailers, political campaigns and documentary formats. This source material proved diversified in nature as well as redrawing accurately representations of Swedish mass media of its time as it varied between cinema and television, whilst focusing in on daily life of individuals or daily life in Sweden’s cities. While artificial intelligence object recognition helped identifying pertinent sections within a large corpus of film data, subsequently, a qualitative tf-idf-analysis of selected films based on speech-to-text output was conducted, counterbalancing quantitative research approaches. archive AI cars cultural memory digital humanities film New Cinema History object detection speech recognition Swedish film oil crisis H-Day Archiv Künstliche Intelligenz KI Filmwissenschaft Medienwissenschaft Film Schweden Schwedischer Film Auto Repräsentation Wilde Erdbeeren arkiv artificiell intelligens svensk film bil minne representation oljekris dagen H Smultronstället 映画学スウェデンスウェデンの映画 AI 車歴史オイルショック野いちごダゲン・H Media Studies Medievetenskap Studies on Film Filmvetenskap
