The Rise, the Fall, and the Rise of Danish Film

Abstract

EBBE NEERGAARD is the director of the Danish Government Film Office in Copenhagen. He is one of the pioneers of film criticism in Denmark, having begun to write in 1928. Among his books on film are the authoritative book on Carl Dreyer written in cooperation with the director himself and, this year, a volume of so-called "Film Chronicles." The present article represents the point of view of Mr. Neergaard as an individual film critic, rather than the official point of view of the Government Film Office.
