(Horrific) Finds from the archive

Every year in May, Ingmar Bergman would send a letter to the Swedish Film Institute’s archive with a long wish list of ‘summer stimulants, drugs, pleasures, and anesthetics.’ 

On the theme of horror we focus on a selection of short films from filmarkivet.se – a musical short film featuring the eccentric composer Karl-Erik Welin, the American trailer for Hour of the Wolf, and the early stop-motion film The Tinderbox based on H.C. Andersen’s fairy tale, in which we meet a creepy witch and dogs with eyes as large as saucers. 

Presented by Jan Göransson, Head of Press at the Swedish Film Institute.
