Alf Sjöberg


Sven Erik Alf Sjöberg was a Swedish theatre and film director. He won the Grand Prix du Festival at the Cannes Film Festival twice: in 1946 for Torment , and in 1951 for his film Miss Julie .
Despite his success with those films, Sjöberg was foremost a stage director, perhaps the greatest at Dramaten. He was a First Director of Sweden's Royal Dramatic Theatre between 1930 and 1980; he staged there many remarkable and historic productions. Sjöberg was also a pioneer director of drama for early Swedish TV. At the 3rd Guldbagge Awards Sjöberg won the award for Best Director for the film Ön.
Sjöberg died in a car accident on his way to rehearsal at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm.
