Biography
Ester Martin Bergsmark (b. 1982, Stockholm) began working with Mark Hammarberg while studying documentary direction together at Sweden’s Biskops Arnö school. Over the course of four years they have developed an innovative experimental style combining distinctive stylization with a personal documentary approach. Together they created the short documentary Swallow It (Svajl, 2007) and the feature project Maggie in Wonderland (Maggie vaknar på balkongen, 2008), with creative support from Lukas Moodyson (the well-known director of the 1998 comedy Show Me Love / Fucking Åmål). The film was awarded a Guldbagge, Sweden’s national award, for Best Swedish Documentary from the Swedish Film Institute. In 2009 Bergsmark took part with 11 other directors in a feminist porn showcase entitled Dirty Diaries (the segment “Fruitcake”).
