Áttekintés

In the mid-1950s, Oslo imported 27,000 tons of coal annually, which was converted into coke, gas, and tar. This production took place at the Oslo Gasworks at Ankertorget. The gas was used both in private households and by industry. ***** Oslofilm was a series of public information films about life in and around Oslo, produced between 1940 and 1980. Funded by the state, the films offer valuable insight into postwar Norwegian society. A wide range of Norwegian filmmakers contributed to the productions, resulting in a rich variety of styles and expressions. Several of the films also possess notable cinematic qualities, standing out as more than just informational material. The Oslofilms represent a unique and important chapter in Norwegian film history.
