Karl-Axel "Kalle" Boman (born 5 April 1943) is a Swedish film producer based in Gothenburg who has been involved in many works in Swedish cinema for over 50 years. [1] [2]

Raised in Södermalm, he was exposed to a theatre school as a boy through a friend, and had a small role in Ingmar Bergman's 1949 film Prison . [1] As a producer, Boman established his studio in Stockholm, but seeking more space, relocated it to Norrsundet. [1]

In 2014, he received the Guldbagge Honorary Award. [1] That year, with director Ruben Östlund, Boman entered an art installation into the Vandalorum Museum in Värnamo, with the artists' statement "The Square is a sanctuary of trust and caring. Within it we all share equal rights and obligations." [3] This inspired Östlund's 2017 Palme d'Or-winning film The Square . [3]
