Based on a research project funded by the Swedish Research Council, this 
book analyses 40 years of post-war independent immigrant filmmaking in 
Sweden. John Sundholm and Lars Gustaf Andersson consider the creativity 
that lies in the state of exile, offering analyses of over 50 rarely 
seen immigrant films that would otherwise remain invisible and 
unarchived. They shed light on the complex web of personal, economic and 
cultural circumstances around migrant filmmaking, and discuss 
associations that became important sites of self-organization for exiled 
filmmakers: The Independent Film Group, The Stockholm Film Workshop, 
Cineco, Kaleidoscope and Tensta Film Association.

Using an innovative combination of key film theory, /The Cultural 
Practice of Immigrant Filmmaking/ studies immigrant filmmaking in a 
transnational context, exploring how immigrant filmmakers use film to 
find a place in a new cultural situation.
