Karin Swanström (June 13, 1873 â€" July 5, 1942) was a Swedish

actress, producer and director.Swanström was born in St. Olai

congregation in Norrköping. Little is known of her life before she

was accepted for the Royal Dramatic Theatre school in 1890 when she

was seventeen. Already in school her acting ability was acknowledge by

her performance in two student plays. In 1892 she left the Royal

Dramatic Theater school and was employed by The Royal Dramatic Theater

and was in the ensemble for five years. In 1897 Karin Swanström went

from the Royal Dramatic Theater to Selander Company, that was run by

Hjalmar and Concordia Selander, for a year and then she went to

Swedish Theater Company in Helsinki in 1899.When she came back to

Sweden from Helsinki in 1904 she started her own theater company,

Karin Swanström Theater Company, that was active and run by

Swanström until the early 1920s. She now began teaching acting in

Stockholm and did this during the years 1921-25 and at the same time

she began acting in silent films with Maurtiz Stiller's De

landsflyktige in 1921. The critics loved the film and Swanström, one

wrote " as the most beautiful middle aged lady with the greatest

scenic routine that you can find". Two years after this Karin

Swanström became head of production at Bonnierfilm, and in the same

year she directed her first film, but it was for AB Svensk

Filmindustri, or SF.This film, which translates roughly to Boman at

the Fair, is a comedy that takes place during the fair in Gothenburg,

in 1923. Swanström had to share her directing credit with the

screenwriter Oscar Rydqvist, but "his part in directing the film was

more a title than having any say during production". It received even

reviews it was said that the film was neither bad or good, it had

good, even great, moments but it also had bad parts as a "slow tempo"

because of the "large number of attraction shots". It was also seen as

being "silly", these attraction shots were of the fair, the film was

also seen as an excuse for documenting the fair in Gothenburg.
