Abstract [en]

Leif Furhammar was an esteemed professor of Film Studies at the University of Stockholm. In 1990 he produced a report on filmgoing in Stockholm during the 1930s. The report is little known to film scholars, especially outside of Sweden. Furhammar takes a novel approach to investigate what films people watched by counting film programmes listed in a daily city newspaper. Using similar methods to POPSTAT, Furhammar produces charts of the annual best-attended films in Stockholm for the decade, including all Swedish movies released. His work introduced an entirely new type of evidence concerning film popularity. This chapter discusses his methods, replicates his results (where data permits), and analyses his findings.
