Life

After completing his studies in Lund , Werner worked as a journalist in Stockholm and was a translator for foreign films. From 1938 he also wrote scripts. In 1945 Werner made the short film Midwinteropfer (Midvinterblot), a formally experimental film. His subsequent twenty-minute film The Train (Tåget, 1947) also attracted attention . Werner made his first feature film in 1948. His films Street of Sin (Gatan, 1949) and Insel der Sehnsucht (Två trappor över gården, 1950) also became known abroad.

Gösta Werner's film-scientific work began in 1947 with the redaction of documentary Forty years with the King (40 år med fluctuations) about the reign of Gustav V . He published several works on Swedish film, in particular on Mauritz Stiller and Victor Sjöström as well as his treatise on the history of Swedish film, published in 1970 (German 1988).

In the 1970s he was a professor at Stockholm University.
