Kenneth Branagh narrates the second of a six-part series telling the story of early film-making in Europe.
Art's Promised Land. A look at the the period of Swedish cinema known as the Golden Age which began in 1910and lasted until the mid-1920s. Victor Sjostrom
and Mauritz Stiller were the greatest talents in Swedish film, with pictures such as IngeborgHolm, a scathing examination of poverty, and Gosta Berling 's Saga (which brought
Greta Garbo to fame). Today historians acknowledge the debt that the critcially acclaimed French cinema industry owed to the Scandinavians.
