Swedish Markings

 

Markings and Distinctions

Most posters were printed in Stockholm which quite often is abbreviated Sthlm on the poster.

If you are having trouble identifying Swedish posters, the easiest way that we have found, is to look for the word for 'Director'... or 'Directed by'.. You should see the Swedish word: "regi" followed by the Directors name.

 

Censorship

Censorship in Sweden started very early. As an example, the 1910 film 'the Emigrant' had a rape scene in it. The banned portion was replaced with a subtitle 'Interval of Two Minutes', which caused a real stir. To address this on an organized basis, the Swedish Board of Film Censorship was formed in 1911. Although in the west, Sweden is known for their sex films, they are very strict on violence and children.
