Biography
Simon Staho is a Danish film director born in 1972. He has collaborated with several prominent Swedish actors, including Mikael Persbrandt, Noomi Rapace, Pernilla August, and Erland Josephson.
Staho's first feature film, *Vildspor/Wildside* (1998), was filmed in Iceland and featured Mads Mikkelsen and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. The film was selected for the San Sebastian International Film Festival. *Variety* reviewed the film, stating: “A solidly crafted thriller with links to classic film noir, though the bleakly beautiful Icelandic settings invest this tale of friendship and betrayal with a distinct ambience. Intelligent and suspenseful fare.”
