Although relatively small, the northern countries of Scandinavia have made a disproportionately large contribution to world cinema. Indeed, some of their films are among the best known of all times, including The Seventh Seal, Dancer in the Dark, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. And Scandinavian directors are also among the best known, just to mention Ingmar Bergman and Lars von Trier. But there is much more to the cinema of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland than that, and this book shows us what they have been accomplishing over more than a century from the beginnings of cinema until the present.The Historical Dictionary of Scandinavian Cinema shows just how long and busy this history has been in the chronology, starting in 1896. The introduction then describes the situation in each one of the component countries, all of which approached and developed the field in a similar but also slightly different manner. The dictionary section, with over 400 substantial entries, looks at the situation in greater detail, with over 400 substantial entries on major actors, directors and others, significant films, various genres and themes, and subjects such as animation, ethnicity, migration and censorship. Given its contribution to world cinema it is good to finally have an encyclopedia like this which can meet the interests of the scholar and researcher but also the movie fan.

We all have images that we find unwatchable, whether for ethical, political, or sensory and affective reasons. From news coverage of terror attacks to viral videos of police brutality, and from graphic horror films to transgressive artworks, many of the images in our media culture might strike us as unsuitable for viewing. Yet what does it mean to proclaim something “unwatchable”: disturbing, revolting, poor, tedious, or literally inaccessible? With over 50 original essays by leading scholars, artists, critics, and curators, this is the first book to trace the “unwatchable” across our contemporary media environment, in which viewers encounter difficult content on various screens and platforms. Appealing to a broad academic and general readership, the volume offers multidisciplinary approaches to the vast array of troubling images that circulate in global visual culture.

The Intellect Handbook of Nordic Cinema is a comprehensive reference work providing an overview of cinema in the Nordic countries - Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland. Comparing the cinematic cultures of the five Nordic nations as well as Sápmi, it gives the readers a more comparative and general perspective of Nordic Cinema. Even though the Nordic countries are very different, and have very different cinematic traditions and media histories, they have many institutional and thematic elements in common. One example is how film production in all five countries, and in Sápmi too, is dependent on different forms of government support systems.The main focus is on feature films but the book also presents chapters and central discussions on documentaries and animation as well as connecting film production in the Nordic countries to the emerging media situation with television and streaming services as central partners and competitors.The inclusion of a number of smaller case studies and thematic explorations enables the Handbook of Nordic Cinema to broaden the understanding of individual genres including occupation dramas, comedies, animation and documentary. There is also thorough exploration of attitudes towards cultural motifs and elements - the roles of nature, crime, disaster and piracy.
