Summary This book explores a range of lesser-known documentaries and short films from the transnational resund region released in the period 20002009, focusing on how this Scandinavian regions urban and maritime spaces, iconic architecture, and peripheral communities across Malmo and Copenhagen have been imagined and critiqued through film. This is the first book to widen the critical gaze beyond popular representations to examine a significant body of peripheral films produced in and about the metropolitan resund region. Emerging at a time of spatial transformation and geopolitical change, these films weave alternative narratives that confront the official rhetoric of transnational regionalism. Offering the concept of regioscape as a way to investigate the intimate relationship between artistic representation, screen policy, space, and the region-building project, this book presents new readings of films by contemporary Swedish and Danish filmmakers such as Fredrik Gertten, Kolbjorn Guwallius, Daniel Dencik, and Max Kestner. Pei-Sze Chow is Assistant Professor of Media and Culture at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Her interdisciplinary research takes a spatial, media-geographic approach to studying film cultures, focusing on the cinemas of peripheral regions and nations, diversity and representation, and transnationalism. She is the co-editor of A History of Danish Cinema (2021) and has published work on Nordic noir and geopolitics, architecture on film, and more recently on algorithms in film production.
