Oscar Rosander
Oscar Rosander was a Swedish film editor with more than 100 feature film credits. He was born in Eksjö, Sweden in 1901. He studied modern languages at Uppsala University and later worked with film dubbing and editing for the Swedish film studio Svensk Filmindustri.
Rosander had an extended, notable collaboration on twelve films with the director Ingmar Bergman, including Bergman's debut film Crisis as well as Smiles of a Summer Night, Wild Strawberries, The Magician, and The Virgin Spring.
