This Land is Full of Life

Summary

A Swedish short film directed by Johan Falck with cinematography by Arne Sucksdorff and poetic narration written by Nobel laureate Harry Martinson. Accompanied by a score from Erik Baumann, Erland von Koch, and Albert Löfgren, the film blends lyrical text, music, and images of Swedish nature into what Sucksdorff himself described—along with An August Rhapsody—as a “hymn to the Swedish summer.”
