Vilgot Sjöman

Vilgot Sjöman was born in Stockholm on 2 December 1924, the son of a building worker. He passed his school-leaving examination in 1945, published his first novel in 1948 and was from his youth a friend of Ingmar Bergman, whose assistant he became. He spent time in the United States to study cinema, drew a book from it, and directed his first film in 1962. One of his films, banned by the censors in 1964, was permitted only after the government intervened, which opened a national debate. The author of seventeen feature films and twenty-seven books, he died in Stockholm on 9 April 2006.
