Gunvor Nelson's work has been exhibited at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the MoMA in New York and Cinematek worldwide among other places. Now Filmform has made a selection of her films available on Blu-ray. Nelson who over the years has created some thirty films and video works ranging from 1953 and 1993, primarily in California but currently lives and works in her native town of Kristinehamn.

« Gunvor Nelson has always dug where she stood. Attentive, responsive, determined, curious and with a great sense of humor. The films have followed her as a person as she films. Over the years, there is an ever-growing frustration over the fragility and transience of film as a material. Celluloid is anything but a mass-producible and automatically copyable medium. Thus, the increased demand for her work in this Blu-ray edition is most welcome. »
– John Sundholm
