Carl Th. Dreyer

Carl Theodor Dreyer was born in Copenhagen on 3 February 1889, to an unmarried Swedish mother. Adopted at the age of two by a typesetter whose name he took, he was at first a journalist, then joined Nordisk, where he wrote intertitles and screenplays before moving on to directing at the end of the teens. After 1932, he went about ten years without making a feature film. From 1952, he ran the Dagmar cinema in Copenhagen, where he died on 20 March 1968, without having been able to make the film on Christ that he was preparing.
