In Prejudice & Pride – Swedish Film Queer, director Eva Beling, take us on a rollercoaster ride through Swedish film history. Opening old cardboard boxes and pulling out film reels that no one has watched since they first came out. From Mauritz Stiller’s filming of the world’s first gay romance in 1916 to Sweden’s new wave of Scandinavian transgender films, this documentary explores the highs and lows of the century-long struggle for queer liberation.
