MILDA RÖNN
Milda Rönn is a Swedish independent filmmaker. She has directed several short documentaries and information films, as well as a feature film. She studied photography, scriptwriting, drama and film theory when she was young. During her studies she ended up falling in love with linguistics. She became a doctor in Nordic languages, with a focus on conversation analysis. However, her love for film and theater never ended. Her doctoral thesis is about the Theatre Academy in Stockholm. As a researcher she held courses in conversation analysis at various screenwriting courses and collaborated with actors in research projects. But most importantly, she started to use filmmaking in her work. Gradually, the filmmaking took over more and more, and finally, she decided to make a feature film on her own, in order to learn all aspects of filmmaking. She is now using that training when making documentaries.
