Björn Engström

Björn Engström, the contemplative maverick of Swedish cinema. Born in 1940 in Stockholm, Sweden, Engström was active in the film industry from the late 60s to the early 90s, mainly working within the genres of drama and arthouse cinema. His most renowned films include "En stilla natt" and "Betraktaren", and although he never clinched a major festival award, his work is admired for its introspective style and profound humanism. Björn Engström, with his contemplative and quiet demeanor, has always been a director who lets his deeply thoughtful and emotion-provoking films speak for him.
