Career


Nordemar was born in Stockholm, Sweden and was brother to film editor and director Eric Nordemar. Nordemar was active in the film industry from 1932.[1] After completing school education, Nordemar conducted laboratory practice in the film industry from 1931 to 1935. He was employed by the Army, Navy and Air Film (Armé-, Marin- och Flygfilm) to do work as photographer and editor from 1935 to 1940. Nordemar became chief photographer at the Sandrew Group in 1940 and was chief photographer at AB Europa Film from 1945.[2]

He was cinematographer, director and producer in Hollywood from 1945 to 1946.[1] In 1947, Nordemar and Lennart Bernadotte founded Artfilm AB and Artfoto AB[3] which he became CEO of.[1] When Bernadotte decided to settle on the castle of Mainau, he sold all his shares in Artfilm to Nordemar, who in the early 1950s became the sole owner.[3] In 1966, AB Svensk Filmindustri (SF) bought all shares in Nordemar's Artfilm AB for SEK 1 million. The purchase also included the sister companies Artfoto AB and Artmekano AB. Nordemar was after that attached to SF for a period of seven years.[3]

Nordemar produced nearly 40 films and television series during his career, in addition to directing, photographing and editing numerous others.[4] Nordemar received the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for Kon-Tiki (1950) at the 24th Academy Awards in 1951.

He was a board member of the Association of Swedish Film Producers (Föreningen svenska filmproducenter), and others.[1]
