SF Studios has launched SF Studios Classics, a YouTube channel opening up the company’s archive to a wider audience with a rolling slate of restored classics.
The channel, which went live on 14 October, offer a curated selection spanning the studio’s century-long history, with a new title added every week. Early highlights include Victor Sjöström’s Judaspengar (1915), Mauritz Stiller’s Vingarne (1916) and Gunnar Hedes saga (1923), Gustaf Molander’s Ingmarsarvet (1925) and Till Österland (1926), as well as Lars-Eric Kjellgren’s Medan staden sover (1950).
Helena Hertz, Head of Licensing Sales & Rights at SF Studios, said the initiative aims to make the company’s “unique film heritage more accessible and alive” on a platform that reaches both cinephiles and new audiences. Michelle Kadir, Head of YouTube Northern Europe, added that YouTube’s reach on connected TVs in Sweden will help introduce “new generations” to Swedish film.
SF Studios’ catalogue encompasses more than 1,800 titles dating from 1897 to today.
