After 35 years in the IT industry, I went back to the world of film in 2016. Choosing filmmaking felt natural. Before 1980, I had made several successful 16mm films. But when the IT industry offered tempting new opportunities, it was hard to resist.

After 35 years, the choice was easy – to return to something more creative and rewarding.

Here I present a collection of films I have made in recent years. Some you can watch directly here, while others require a small fee to cover the costs of the website.

Enjoy watching! Please share your thoughts on the films with me via the contact form.

Part 1 of 2: The Tragic Story of the Steamship "s/s Per Brahe"

This film tells the story of the steamship "s/s Per Brahe" and her tragic fate in 1918, when she sank during a stormy night on Lake Vättern. All aboard perished, including the famous artist John Bauer and his young family.

The film is a powerful and moving tribute to the victims of the disaster and a reminder of the dangers of nature. It is also a valuable historical document that sheds light on a tragic event that has been largely forgotten.

The Vättern Monster: A Swedish Documentary
An old legend tells of a lake monster in Vättern, hidden in the deepest and unexplored part just south of Visingsö. In the summer of 2019, we set out on an expedition together with a film team and 20 pensioners on "s/s MINA", a 19th century sailing vessel from Lidköping, ready to explore the unknown depths of Vättern and uncover the truth about the mysterious creature.

The film "The Vättern Monster" is a 6-part documentary series that follows our expedition. We dive down into the dark waters of Vättern, use advanced sonar technology and interview experts in the hunt for evidence that the lake monster exists.
''För 100 Gubbar" - inspelad 1978

Robert Högfeldt var en svensk illustratör, tecknare och karikatyrtecknare mest känd för sina humoristiska illustrationer och målningar. Han skapade humoristiska personligheter av mytologiska figurer som tomtar, vättar och troll – hans favoritmotiv – och tog därmed avstånd från deras vanliga rykte om att vara grymma och fula.
