Oslofilm: Byen og gatene
A presentation of some of Oslo’s streets and places, viewed through a historical lens reaching back to the Middle Ages. We trace the city’s development from its original location in Bjørvika to Christian IV’s new city behind Akershus Fortress. The use of the street network has also evolved, along with changes in modes of transport. ***** Oslofilm was a series of public information films about life in and around Oslo, produced between 1940 and 1980. Funded by the state, the films offer valuable insight into postwar Norwegian society. A wide range of Norwegian filmmakers contributed to the productions, resulting in a rich variety of styles and expressions. Several of the films also possess notable cinematic qualities, standing out as more than just informational material. The Oslofilms represent a unique and important chapter in Norwegian film history.
