Daniel Alfredson

 

Daniel Alfredson ( "Millennium I & II " ) is one of Sweden’s most prominent directors. He was born in 1959 and straight after school he started working within the film industry. He has worked as an actor, prop buyer, art director, casting director and first assistant director on a number of films. In 1990 he directed his first production for Swedish Television, a part of The Evening News (Kvällspressen), scripted by Jan Guillou. After that he directed a number of thrillers, among them The Man on the Balcony (Mannen på Balkongen), one of the series of Sjöwall/Wahlöö films. He wrote the script himself and was awarded a Guldbagge (the Swedish equivalent of the Emmy awards).. It was the first film he directed with the director of photography Peter Mokrosinski. Their collaboration continued on a number of films and in 1997 Daniel won a Guldbagge as Best Director for the film Tic Tac, also with Peter Mokrosinski as Director of Photography. The film was innovative and follows a number of characters during twenty-four hours. The following year they made Straydogs in English with English actors.

Daniel also directed the TV-movie The Death Bell (Dödsklockan) based on a novel by Kerstin Ekman and scripted by Jonas Frykberg.Daniel’s latest film, Sinners in Summer Sun (Syndare i Sommarsol) was premiered in 2001. Since then he has been Director of Drama at Swedish Television.

Daniel is now returning to the screen with the impressive story WOLF (VARG) based on an original screenplay by Kerstin Ekman. It was their previous collaboration and their shared interest in nature and animals that made Kerstin Ekman want to write an original story straight for the screen. She has written for a director with an understanding for living conditions far away from the cities and with an ability to translate her words into a strongly visual language. Daniel could not wish for a better base for his imagination and filmic talent. This time he chooses to work with our internationally renowned Director of Photography, Jörgen Persson.
