ABOUT THE BOOK
Over the last two decades or so, the New Danish Cinema has established itself as an important source of cinematic renewal and innovation, and as a model for how small, minor or peripheral cinemas can survive in an industry dominated by Global Hollywood. Following in the footsteps of critically-acclaimed The Danish Directors (also published by Intellect), The Danish Directors 2 provides a practitioner’s perspective on the social, cultural, and economic milieus in which Danish lm-makers have been able to develop their practice, and to thrive.

With insider information about the making, marketing and distribution of award-winning lms, and interviews with seminal directors such as Anders Thomas Jensen, Annette K. Olesen, and Lone Scher g, The Danish Directors 2 allows readers entry into what might seem to be a forbidding body of work. The editors are knowledgeable and sensitive interrogators, and their appreciation of the speci c qualities of each director’s work elicits thoughtful replies. This volume will appeal to students, scholars, and cinephiles alike.
