Det svenska schlagerkriget

Det svenska schlagerkriget (2024) is a documentary, music film directed by Oskar Anesten, Ulf Karlén.

After ABBA won Eurovision in 1974 Sweden was tasked with hosting it the next year. This documentary tells the story of that production and places it in the social and political context of Sweden in 1975 and a music scene that was anything but supportive of the endeavour.
