  Abstract:   Edvard Munch and Film – Edvard Munch on the Screen. Edvard Munch and film is a fascinating subject. Over 10 films were made about the painter; short films, documentaries and a feature film, the famous Edvard Munch by Peter Watkins. They are all different, many of them describing his childhood and youth, his models and milieu and the painter himself in his individual and social struggle finding his paintings as an on-going experiment. The interest for Munch`s paintings these years is linked to the 150 years anniversary of his birth, which has led to exhibitions in Frankfurt, London, Oslo and Paris and the production of several new films. The jubilee exhibition in Oslo was divided between the Munch Museum and the National Gallery and concentrated on six themes, each of them focusing on both the young and the older Munch. Munch’s international reputation is closely connected to the fact that he was an international artist himself, he studied, was working in his ateliers and had exhibitions in Berlin and other German towns as well as in Paris, the most important artist city in the world.

Key words: Expressionism, Film, Models, Experiments, Photography.
