Fragments from a time gone by
Product Description
The stone cutting era in Bohuslän has a short but intense history which began in the 1860s and concluded in the 1970s.
The period is characterised by extreme cyclical fluctuations, two world wars, strikes and lock-outs and the depression of the thirties.
This brought an incredible occupancy of labour to Bohuslän which, until then had been completely characterised by fisheries and agriculture. The occupancy was not entirely free of problems however. The Schartauan Bohuslän was invaded by workers from, in particular, Halland, Blekinge and Småland with much more radical opinions.
Fragments from a time gone by is a documentary film about these dynamic and exciting epoch in the history of Bohuslän. The story is told by the people who still live to tell the tale.
The film was shown on Swedish national television in the fall of 2004.
Director: Kjell Andersson, Folke Johansson, Producer: Kjell Andersson, Editor: Rasmus Ohlander, Storyteller: Sven Wollter, Production year: 2004 Swe, 2006 Eng, Runtime: 59 minutes
