Johan Ramström, born January 19, 1965, in Strängnäs, is a Swedish composer. He works across a range of genres, from symphonic music and electroacoustic works to film and theatre music.  Ramström grew up in Strängnäs and began his musical career as a saxophonist. After technical preparatory studies and music education at Skurups Folkhögskola, he played in various pop and dance bands. His interest in contemporary art music developed later in life, especially following an experience with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra at Berwaldhallen. He studied composition under Anders Nilsson at Birkagårdens Folkhögskola and Jan Sandström at Piteå Musikhögskola between 1996 and 2006.  Ramström has composed music for symphony orchestras, solo instruments, electroacoustic works, art installations, and film. He has also directed and produced his own films, including the award-winning experimental film Tack, which received the prize for Best Experimental Film at the Umeå International Film Festival.  In the film world, Ramström composed the music for the documentary Sara – med allt sitt väsen (Sara – With All Her Being), directed by Gunilla Bresky. For this work, he was nominated for a Guldbagge Award in 2019 for Best Music and was awarded the European music prize The Camille Awards in the category of Best Orchestral Music, making him the first Swedish composer to receive this honor.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
