Biography

Timo Kaarlo Bergholm (born August 14, 1941 in Helsinki ) is a Finnish theater director who worked as a director of Yleisradio's Television Theater from 1966 and as a theater manager from 1967–1986. Bergholm graduated from Teatterikorkeakoulu in 1965. Before his career at Yle, he worked as a director at MTV Theater and as an assistant at Svenska Teatern . Bergholm's TV directing work includes Heinard Kipphardt's play Oppenheimer's Case (1967), Aleksandr Gelman's Palkkio (1977), Maria Jotun's Martini rikos (1980) and the political miniseries Hyvä veli 1–6 (1995–1996) and President's Man 1, written by Mauno Saari . –3 (1998). He wrote and directed the film Little Red Riding Hood (1968), for which he was awarded Jussi for best director in 1969. A characteristic feature of Bergholm's production is social criticism. At the end of the 1960s, he and the entire television theater were accused of being far-left, but in his own opinion it was just cultural radicalism. TV cabarets such as Luule with us (1968), Sirkus Europa (1968), Oma (1969) and his own favorite, the two-part story of a thousand and one jobs (1970) caused a lot of outrage. Bergholm has a daughter with Marjut Komulainen , film director Hanna Bergholm.
