Biography

Alice O'Fredericks débute au cinéma en 1921, comme actrice, et joue en tout dans dix films muets, le dernier en 1929. Cette même année 1929 et la suivante (1930), elle est assistante-réalisatrice sur deux films mis en scène par Lau Lauritzen Sr. (1878-1938). Puis, de 1934 à 1967, elle réalise soixante-douze films, parfois seule, mais le plus souvent en collaboration avec Lau Lauritzen Jr. (1910-1977 ; fils du précédent) ou, dans une moindre mesure, avec Robert Saaskin (1920-1972), Jon Iversen (1889-1964) et Ib Mossin (1933-2004).

En outre, de 1928 à 1967, Alice O'Fredericks est scénariste de quarante films, dont bon nombre réalisés (ou coréalisés) par elle.

Depuis 2004, en hommage à ses activités de pionnière du cinéma (comme femme réalisateur), une récompense dénommée Alice Award est décernée à la meilleure réalisatrice, lors du Festival International du Film de Copenhague .

A scholarly dissertation on the appearances of demons and witches in primitive and medieval culture, a number of photographs of statuary, paintings, and woodcuts are used as demonstrative pieces. In addition, several large scale models are employed to demonstrate medieval concepts of the structure of the solar system and the commonly accepted depiction of Hell.
