The Bergman Week programme is released!

The Belgian filmmaking brothers Dardenne have become the modern fixtures of contemporary European cinema. Although their films are scarce in dialogue, their lyrical portrayals of people on the outskirts of society are unmistakably and uniquely dardennesque. It is with great pride and joy we welcome Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne as our guests at this year’s edition of the Bergman Week – indeed their first visit to Sweden. Book your tickets here!

Fårö Document released on dvd for the first time!

Bergman’s documentary about the Baltic isle of Fårö is a time capsule of life on the tiny island at the end of the 1960s. It is a unique film featuring Fårö residents in the main roles and Ingmar Bergman as a socially committed reporter engaging in the fabric of a small rural society. Fårö Document, a field trip into Bergman territory with a political edge, is one of his lesser known films.
