Carl Slättne (1937–2015) is a truly original innovator of Swedish documentary film, a constantly experimental artist who did not allow himself to be classified into traditional genres. A Film – An Antifilm – A FilmFilm (1965) scourges the contemporary media establishment, a theme that recurs in Slättne’s films, but is also a philosophical meditation over of the ontology of film art. During the 1960s, he continued to make several experimental short films, mainly for TV, but later became known primarily for developing the political documentary. Indefatigable he examined the relationship between the city and the countryside, between the center and the periphery, between the privileged and the vulnerable, often with the starting point in rural Skåne. He perfected his own form of intellectual montage, where his own and others’ footage were joined together, and where the images play out against an ironic commentary. Together with his wife Karin, he also made a number of low-key but form-conscious short films that, among other things, document Skåne’s industrial history.
