Charles Magnusson (26 January 1878 – 18 January 1948) was a Swedish film producer and screenwriter.[1][2][3][4][5]

Career

[edit]

In 1894, Magnusson's job was a professional photographer in Sweden and in 1905 he changed careers to be newsreel camera operator. By 1907, Magnusson found the Swedish Cinematographic Society. He was then hired in 1909 by Svenska Biografteatern,[6] the first Swedish studio, as a general manager. The first film he was part of was released in 1909 by the name Varmlanningarne. Svenska Biografteatern was originally in Kristianstad until 1911 when they moved to Stockholm. Under Svenska Biografteatern, Magnusson hired Victor Sjostrom and Mauritz Stiller as directors in 1912. After, Magnusson was promoted to production chief in 1919 and remained in that position until 1928 when he retired.[7][6]
