abstract

  • Producers are seldom the focus of screen studies research, but this interview with Danish producer Meta Louise Foldager demonstrates just how useful these vital creators are to understanding the Scandinavian film and television industries, both of which currently find themselves in periods of rapid change. The interview focuses on three themes: the differing roles that the producer plays in film and television production; the state of the Danish film industry; and the burgeoning television drama industry in Denmark. Throughout these three sections, Foldager discusses how local and global forces are influencing her work and that of her colleagues in both industries.
