Anders Grönros
Film director and screenwriter

Anders made his debut as a film director in 1979 with "The eighth day", at the age of 24. He was then the youngest first time director ever in Sweden. Both in feature films and documentaries he depicts the outer realms of life, exploring topics of death, birth and dreams.

His latest movies,"Agnes Cecilia" and "Glasblåsarens barn" (based on novels by Maria Gripe) were hailed by critics and reached large audiences. The films were nominated for eight Guldbagge Awards (Sweden's national film award), winning four, including best director. Both movies also won several international awards.

Anders has written and directed theatre for the radio since 1982 and won the Prix Italia for the documentary "Molnen ändrar ständigt form".

In May 2008, he will begin shooting his new production "Jag saknar dig /I miss you". This is a full length adaptation of the award winning book by author Peter Pohl.

The idea for the film came from Hans and he was also the one who introduced Ambres to Anders Grönros. He has for many years had a great interest in questions that concern human nature and that are found in spiritual traditions worldwide. He presents his thoughts and findings in his book "Kreativitetens hemlighet /The secret of the creativity" (Bjurner och Bruno 2001).
