Abstract
The article is a study of Swedish post-war amateur and experimental film culture. In particular, the 50s and the gradual divide between amateurs and experimentalists are examined. Peter Weiss' filmic output is used as an example of how the various cultures collaborated and later on split apart. The aim with the essay is also to intervene in the ongoing debate concerning film historiography by arguing for the usefulness of the concepts 'minor cinemas' and 'public sphere' in order to enable a more diverse, open and hetereogeneous film history.
