Svend Wam and Petter Vennerød

Svend Wam, whose full name was Svend Olaf Wamnes Akstuft, was born on 5 May 1946 in Son, in Akershus. Trained at the Fotoskolan and the Dokumentärfilmskolan, he made his first feature film in 1973. With Petter Vennerød, he formed a tandem that wrote, directed and produced fourteen feature films within their own company, Mefistofilm; their films, whose means were judged heavy-handed, met with a very divided reception. He died in Vestby on 7 May 2017, after a long illness.
