History
SF Studios was founded in 1919 through a merger between AB Svenska Biografteatern and Skandia Filmbyrå AB. From 1942 to 1961, Carl-Anders Dymling was the company's president. In 1946, the melodrama Sunshine Follows Rain was released, earning the studio's largest profit of the sound era.[3] SF produced most of the films made by Ingmar Bergman, as well as a long list of films by other filmmakers such as Mauritz Stiller, Victor Sjöström, Carl Theodor Dreyer, Bo Widerberg,
