  The Phantom Carriage Sjstrm wrote directed and starred in this silent movie that retells a legend about the last man to die on New Year's Eve. When he gets drunk and suffers a terrible accident Sjstrm is confronted with the Carriage of the Dead and forced to relive his life so that he can see how alcoholism destroyed all that he once held dear. The Image Makers depicts an imaginary meeting between four great figures in Swedish cultural history: Selma Lagerlf world-famous story-teller and Nobel Prize laureate Viktor Sjstrm one of Sweden's greatest film directors and actors of all time Julius Jaenzon legendary and brilliant film photographer and Tora Teje one of the leading Swedish actresses of the 1890s. One autumn day in 1920 they gather together to look at a provisional version of Sjstrm's silent film Krkarlen based upon one of Selma Lagerlf's most famous novels.
