At a rate of, currently, 20 films a year the Swedish film industry is on par with many other North European countries. Coming to the fore in the 1950s and 1960s with a spate of Ingmar Bergman films including The Seventh Seal.

Swedish cinema can be traced back to 1911 with director August Strindberg. This period of Swedish cinema proceeded for a couple of decades producing infamous names including Greta Garbo. As happened to many other countries much of the industry soon migrated to Hollywood.

  • Well, the 20 films per year figure is certainly notable. I'm putting that back in.--Pharos 28 June 2005 05:31 (UTC)
