This article reconsiders the Swedish filmmaker Gösta Werner’s experimental short film The Sacrifice (Midvinterblot, 1945) and places its production history in an ideological context. In this case study, the article shows that The Sacrifice, which depicts gruesome old Norse pagan rituals of sacrifice, threw light on the director’s collaboration with the Nazi controlled German film company Universum Film AG (UFA) in the production of propaganda newsreels and that the film evoked a debate on the representation of violence in the aftermath of World War II. While some critics accused The Sacrifice of being influenced by ‘Blut und Boden’ and other elements of Nazi ideology others praised the film for its formal innovations and it was named the Swedish short film of the year. Tracing how these practices affected the authorial discourse surrounding Werner during and after the war, the article raises questions not only concerning how other media practitioners handled this chapter of his life, but also how he himself treated the war years in the construction of his own biographical legend.

“年度短片——纳粹的成年仪式”:gösta werner 和牺牲的制作(1945)

本文重新考虑瑞典电影制片人 Gösta Werner 的实验短片《牺牲》(Midvinterblot,1945 年),并将其制作历史置于意识形态背景中。在这个案例研究中,文章表明,《牺牲》描绘了令人毛骨悚然的古老北欧异教祭祀仪式,揭示了导演与纳粹控制的德国电影公司 Universum Film AG (UFA) 在制作宣传新闻片方面的合作,以及这部电影引发了一场关于二战后暴力表现的辩论。虽然一些评论家指责《牺牲》受到了“Blut und Boden”和纳粹意识形态的其他元素的影响,但其他人称赞这部电影的形式创新,并被评为年度瑞典短片。
