Oscar Rosander

Oscar Rosander (born July 25, 1901 in Eksjö , Sweden ; † May 7, 1971 in Las Palmas , Gran Canaria , Spain ) was a Swedish editor who made the final version of over 150 domestic film productions. In the mid-1940s, he also tried three times as a film director.

Live and act

Rosander went to school in Jönköping and then began to study philosophy at the University of Uppsala , which he completed in 1925 with a Magister Artium . Rosander completed further studies at the universities of Munich , Grenoble , Jena and Greifswald . He then began working as a language teacher and interpreter and took part in the dubbing of foreign language films into Swedish. During this time (early sound film years) he appeared in front of the camera for the first time with a small role in 1931.

In 1935, Oscar Rosander switched to film editing , to which he would henceforth primarily devote himself, and in the next quarter of a century he edited an abundance of films, some of which enjoyed great popularity in his home country. A series of productions by the young Ingmar Bergman , whom he met in 1944 as a screenwriter for Alf Sjöberg's highly acclaimed school drama Die Hörige , achieved international significance . This cooperation lasted until 1960, in the following year the 60-year-old Oscar Rosander retired from the film business and spent his old age on the Canary Island of Gran Canaria.
