On September 24th, the open air Museum Kulturen in Lund will arrange a day with a number of events on the theme of folklore and superstition.
They will screen the series Folkliv (Folklife, link to the series on iTunes U) in the auditorium during the day.
Folkliv is a TV-series by Anders Weberg and Robert Willim together with ethnologist Mia-Marie Hammarlin and The Folklife Archive in Lund.
It was sent on National Tv (Kunskapskanalen/Svt) in Sweden 2010/2011.
Here’s more info in Swedish:
Vad vet vi egentligen om livet i Sverige under bondesamhället? Följ med till gränslandet mellan fantasi och verklighet, när nu bild, ljud och berättelser ur Folklivsarkivet i Lund presenteras på ett nytt sätt.
Serien består av tio avsnitt på sex minuter vardera. Syftet är att gestalta svensk folkkultur och sägner från framförallt 1800- och det tidiga 1900-talet på ett nytt och fantasieggande sätt.
Programmen baseras på arkivmaterial från Folklivsarkivet i Lund. Bilder och musik vävs samman med berättelser om seder och bruk samt mustiga skrönor till en suggestiv audiovisuell blandning.
Projektet har drivits av etnologen och konstnären Robert Willim samt konstnären Anders Weberg, i samarbete med etnologen och speakern Mia-Marie Hammarlin. Arbetet har skett med stor hjälp av arkivarierna Charlotte Hagström och Göran Sjögård samt musikarkivarien Patrik Sandgren på Folklivsarkivet.
