Regionaliseringens effekter på svensk filmmusik : En kvalitativ studie av nutida filmskapares produktionsmässiga förutsättningar

This thesis examines Swedish filmmakers' modes of work and production within the Swedish film landscape. An introductory historical overview treats the Swedish regionalization since the mid 1990's. Political and economical aspects of producing films in various regions serve as a background for understanding the new generation of decentralised Swedish filmmaking, and the use of sound and music in contemporary film. The analysis consists of empirical studies; interviews with directors and producers, working with music for film and TV. Although the filmmaking perspective is in focus, composers and film scholars are heard as well. Some comparisons with American cultures of production are made, with theorizations set in a Swedish production studies context.
