Bergmansafari på Fårö! from Bergmancenter on Vimeo.
Fårö is the place where Ingmar Bergman sought inspiration and tranquillity and the place that has come to be most strongly associated with his oeuvre. He lived and worked here for nearly 50 years and this is where he made some of his best known films. In films such as Through a Glass Darkly, Persona, Scenes from a Marriage and Shame he has used the barren landscape of Fårö as middle-class holiday resort, as a refuge, as a war zone and as a backdrop for marital strife. Furthermore his documentaries Fårödokument (1969) and Fårödokument 1979 show a strong commitment to the people of Fårö and the future of the island.

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!
