Filmscreening: "Living pictures" of Gothenburg

We will see historical news reels and films shot by the Gothenburg police chamber in the mid-20th century. We will also show unique moving images from the construction of the Götaälv bridge in 1937-1939.

The preserved films in the archives are an incredible historical source. During this evening, Mats Jönsson, Professor of Film Studies at the University of Gothenburg, and Karl-Magnus Johansson, from the Swedish National Archives in Gothenburg, will show moving images from the past with links to Gothenburg. In particular, we will see historical newsreels and films shot by the Gothenburg police chamber in the mid-20th century.
