Traditions in World CinemaSeries edited by Linda Badley and R. Barton PalmerShort Films from a Small Nation: Danish Informational Cinema 1935-1965By C. Claire ThomsonFor three decades, state-sponsored short filmmaking educated Danish citizens, promoted Denmark to the world, and shaped the careers of renowned directors like Carl Th. Dreyer.
