We have our own song : Documenting an alternative media event

We have our own song - The music movie (Vi har vår egen sång – musikfilmen) is a Swedish musical documentary produced in 1976 that documented the so-called alternative music festival that was aired live from Stockholm by the public service channel TV2 on March 21, 1975. This film is a rare case of interaction between different institutional contexts in the Swedish 1970s associated with national left-wing culture and an example of how the radical zeitgeist was manifested in an alternative media event. The film will be discussed from two different perspectives. First, it will be presented as a well-documented case-study of the strategies of Swedish film producers to gain subsidies from the Swedish film institute in creative manners. Second, its qualities as a unique audiovisual representation of the alternative music movement of Sweden in the 1970s, which at the time was reaching its peak, will be highlighted.
