This course will study contemporary Nordic film. For years, the work of Roy Anderson, Lukas Moodysson, Aki Kaurismäki, Dagur Kari, and others have set a special tone and atmosphere in Scandinavian cinema. How do the heirs of Bergman, Lars von Trier and the Dogme 95 movement ask new questions and what elements, themes, and stories are typical of new Scandinavian film?
