The Swedish Film Institute and the National Library of Sweden recently launched the new web site www.filmarkivet.se, which offers the opportunity to see unique archival moving image material from Sweden that otherwise are rarely accessed.
The films available for online viewing are mainly shorts, non-fiction films, news-reels and commercials, that reflect the transformation of Swedish society over the last century. Some 300 films are available at the moment, a figure that will doubled before the end of the year.
