Departures follow a reshuffle at the Scandinavian major.
Sf Film MD Michael Fleischer and Sf Norge MD Guttorm Petterson are to step down following a reshuffle at Scandinavian major Svensk Filmindustri.
The move follows last year’s purchase by Svensk of Tre Vänner, which saw the Swedish production company’s MD Jonas Fors named as the new CEO while Frida Westerberg took over as COO.
