About Daniel Bergman

Born 1962. Daniel Bergman is a Swedish film director, screenwriter, director and author.

Daniel Sebastian Bergman (; born 7 September 1962) is a Swedish film director.

Biography He is the son of Ingmar Bergman and Käbi Laretei.

As a child, Bergman appeared in a 1967 Swedish program called Stimulantia, which consisted of eight episodes, one of which was directed by his father Ingmar. The short, 10-minute film focuses on the first two years of Daniel's life. His mother Käbi is also seen.

He was the assistant director of Andrei Tarkovsky on Offret (The Sacrifice, 1986).

Bergman directed an episode of the Swedish horror series Chock, with Ernst-Hugo Järegård.

Bergman's independent ability as a director was seen as compromised following the 1992 film Sunday's Children, which he directed with his father providing the screenplay. The film was seen in Swedish reviews as an attempt by Ingmar to boost the career of his son.

In a 2025 interview, he stated that he no longer works in film. "I work in emergency care and am specialist nurse ... I went to university and studied for four years... I finished film making in 2002."

Selected filmography 1987 – Ägget 1988 – Go'natt Herr Luffare 1989 – Brenda Brave 1992 – Söndagsbarn (Sunday's Children) 1997 – Svenska hjältar (Swedish Heroes)
