regisserade

Regisserade is the simple past tense form of the Swedish verb regissera, meaning to direct a film, television program, theatre production, or similar work. In English this is commonly translated as “directed.” The related noun regissör denotes the director, and the adjective regisserad means “directed.”

Usage and examples: Regisserade is used to describe actions completed in the past. Examples include “Hon regisserade sin andra långfilm” (She directed her second feature) or “Filmen regisserades av en prisbelönt regissör.” In compound tenses, the verb takes the auxiliary har with the past participle regisserat (har regisserat) to form the present perfect, e.g., “Filmen har regisserats av flera olika regissörer.” The form regisserade also functions as the simple past tense for all persons, e.g., jag regisserade, du regisserade, han regisserade.

Forms and related terms: Regissera appears as a regular Swedish verb, with the past participle regisserat and the past participle used adjectivally as regisserad when describing a work that has been directed. The adjective is common in film criticism and production notes, as in “en regisserad film” (a directed film) or “en regisserad version.”

Notes: Regissera is predominantly used in cinematic and theatrical contexts, and less often in other kinds of media. The term reflects the central role of the director in shaping a production, from interpretation of script to performance and pacing. See also regissör (director) and regi (direction).
