Lars Sven (Lasse) Hallström (born 2 June, 1946 in Stockholm) is a Swedish film director. He is the son of the writer Karin Lyberg (1907-2000). His grandfather, Ernst Lyberg was the Swedish Minister of Finance in the first cabinet of Carl Gustaf Ekman 1926 to 1928 and leader of the Liberal Party of Sweden from 1930 to 1933.

Hallström learned his craft making music videos, in particular those made for the group ABBA, which pioneered the era of the music video, and also many innovative styles of film making. After the international success of My Life as a Dog, Hallström has been working on American movies.

Hallström has two children, Johan (1976) from his first marriage to Malou Hallström and Tora (1995) with present wife Lena Olin.

Videography

All of ABBA's videos were directed and shot by Hallström (excluding "Chiquitita", which was made by the BBC, and "Under Attack" and "The Day Before You Came", which were directed by Kjell Sundvall and Kjell-Åke Andersson).
