Göran Strindberg

Göran Strindberg (1917–1991) was a Swedish cinematographer. Strindberg was one of the leading cinematographers in post-Second World War Sweden, replacing the earlier generation who had emerged during the silent era. He worked a number of times with the director Alf Sjöberg.

Biography Strindberg worked as a B-photographer at Europafilm 1937–1942, A-photographer at Sandrews 1942–1957 and as a freelancer 1957–1961. In the 1950s, he was mainly active in Germany, where he made a dozen films, including Robert Siodmaks Råttorna. He then changed medium and worked for Swedish Radio 1963–1964, was a teacher at the Film School 1964–1970 and course leader at the Dramatic Institute 1970–1982.

Strindberg is buried at Skogskyrkogården in Stockholm. He was the son of the sculptor Tore Strindberg, the nephew of the polar researcher Nils Strindberg and a member of the Strindberg family.
