The Politics of Nordsploitation takes a transnational approach to
exploring Nordic ‘exploitation’ films in their industrial
contexts, viewing them as not only political manifestations of
domestic considerations but also to position Nordic film cultures
in a global context. Incorporating a wide range of films, from
international cult classics like They Call Her One Eye (1974),
homegrown martial arts films like The Ninja Mission (1984) to
contemporary crowd-sourced fan productions like Iron Sky (2012),
this volume examines the remarkable diversity of genre-based,
commercially and culturally exploitative film production throughout
the Nordic countries – emphasized here through the term
‘Nordsploitation’. This volume provides a historical exposition
of largely ignored marginal films and film cultural patterns. It
also outlines how influential these films have been in shaping the
development of Nordic cinema. The effects are visible in the films
of the new millennium as previously marginalized practices now
enter the mainstream. With sharp insights and new research, The
Politics of Nordsploitation redefines the concept of
‘exploitation’ and its role in small nation cinemas.
