Abstract
Expanding on historical criticisms of genre production in Nordic cinema, which have tended to align genre with commercialism and/or unfair competition from imported productions in Nordic domestic markets, Kääpä’s chapter explores contemporary production strategies within the context of festival circuits, online platforms, and international professional distribution networks. In exploring these networks, Kääpä focuses on the transnational joint venture Nordic Genre Invasion, which acts as both a PR platform for seventeen companies and as a talent pool for sourcing co-production arrangements. Other factors Kääpä considers in this success are the “Scandiboom” generated by the high profile of Nordic noir and the role of regional production organizations, such as the Nordic Film and Television Institute. Ultimately, he argues, these factors contribute to an emerging regional film culture that utilizes a range of transnational coproduction and distribution strategies that increasingly revolve around genre.
