Title: Wilhelm Peterson-Berger on Film
Post by: Justin on Thursday 09 November 2023, 06:12
Sometimes you find fascinating things on the internet without really searching for them, and this includes five films (2 of which are silent) which show the Swedish composer Peterson-Berger in documentary footage about certain towns:

Östersund / Härnösand (https://www.filmarkivet.se/movies/ostersund-harnosand/) (1920) - At 3:38
300th Anniversary of Umeå (https://www.filmarkivet.se/movies/sf2468/) (1922)  - At 6:37
Östersund (https://www.filmarkivet.se/movies/vi-och-var-nya-roda-kvarn-reportage-fran-ostersund/) (1935) - At 0:54
Train Östersund – Ystad (https://www.filmarkivet.se/movies/tag-ostersund-ystad/) (1936) - At 2:39
Frösöblomster (https://www.filmarkivet.se/movies/frosoblomster/) (1943)

Interesting! And another reminder that mid-century Jämtland dialects are mostly incomprehensible to me. However, it seems that something went wrong with the Östersund 1935 link.

Yes, the third link does not work, the correct one is
Vi och vår nya Röda Kvarn – Reportage från Östersund (https://www.filmarkivet.se/movies/vi-och-var-nya-roda-kvarn-reportage-fran-ostersund/) (1935)
Anyway, many thanks to Justin for pointing out these fascinating documents!
