  abstract     = {{In 2025, the Swedish Film Institute announced that it would minimise the funding of films deemed “international” to safeguard “Swedish” perspectives. Triggered by the success of a series of Swedish co-productions shot elsewhere, in other languages, by filmmakers of mixed or diasporic background, said shift in film policy is symptomatic of a wider Nationalist turn in Swedish politics, and the cultural anxieties provoked by a perceived waning of “Swedishness”. These Swedish “cinemas of elsewhere” (Westerdahl Stenport and Lunde 2019) constitute one of two notable trends in award-winning Nordic films, the other being the unprecedented celebration of a “new Nordic horror cinema” (Iversen 2016). Contextualising notable cases of each, within their complex production and reception histories, the chapter argues that these film challenge and interrogate the borders of Nordic film cultures and identities, through historically reflexive narratives that place them on the critical edge of Nordic cinemas.}},
