I've not received any answers from SVT but I think I have solved this mystery. I've done some searches (queries) on a database of Swedish TV showings around 1990. It didn't actually lead me anywhere but by chance and nothing else I somehow stumbled across the Swedish film Som i drömmar (1954) directed by Carl Gyllenberg. This film was shown on SVT2 the 3rd of August 1987. I'm absolutely sure that this is the film and director I'm talking about. The film is certainly a bit older than I had suggested, and it had been shown on TV before (in 1975) but it was still a pretty rare event to see this film on TV at the time, and it basically fits my other criterias as I remember them (an experimental art film in black and white). I can't, however, find any confirmation that there was an interview with the director after the film but I'm 100% sure that there was!
I didn't really think this mystery was solvable unless someone had actually seen the same film and interview at the time (and happened to remember it). It seemed like a long shot. But I'm relieved it's solved. And thanks for any help.
And I'd actually like to see this film. It seems interesting.
As for seeing it, the film hasn't been issued on DVD so your only hope is a rerun by SVT, that the SFI/Cinemateket has a showing of it or that Studio S (pretty much the only label that publishes older films) feels like publishing it. You can e-mail the person responsible for such matters at Studio S at seo@studiosentertainment.se to check with them.
