Abstract
Tommy Gustafsson and Pietari Kääpä (eds.) _Nordic Genre Film: Small Nation Film Cultures in the Global Marketplace_ While the ‘Nordic noir’ and so-called ‘art house’ categories continue to dominate contemporary scholarly conversations on Nordic film and television, it is easy to forget that the region’s screen industries actually offer far more diverse genre productions than most expect. As the editors note in their introductory chapter of _Nordic Genre Film_, since the 1960s the output of genre films in the Nordic countries has always surpassed that of art house films while at the same time performing more successfully at domestic box offices every year. The early 2000s has also seen a flourishing of Nordic genre film production, enabled by shifts in national film politics across the region. Still, many outside the region tend to associate Nordic film with auteur-driven fare.
