Richard Hobert
Richard was born in 1951 in the small town of Kivik, southern Sweden, where he still lives and works with occasional longer stays in Stockholm.
Filmography
In 1995, Richard received the Ingmar Bergman Award. It took the jury only a record breaking 27 seconds to reach a unanimous decision. Bergman was quoted to have said “Those of us who have been fortunate enough to see works such as “the fifteenth chieftain” “The Hands” and … “Spring of Joy” have great expectations for Richard Hobert’s unflagging creativity”.
In total, eleven feature films and nine of Hobart’s TV films have participated in international awards winning several, both internationally and nationally among them “Everybody loves Alice” which won for best foreign film at the Hollywood Film Festival 2002. And in 2012 ‘A One-Way ticket to Antibes’ won the Swedish National Award for best Male Actor – Guldbaggen.
Further Hobert has also directed at the Swedish Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm, Dramaten. Throughout his career he has both written and directed his work.
