History

Retrospective:
Ingmar Bergman

The 100th birth anniversary of one of the greatest icons of world cinema will be commemorated with the collection of films selected by Mareet Koskinen, Professor at the Department of Cinema Studies, Stockholm University. Koskinen was the first film researcher to receive Bergman’s permission to access his archive and wrote many research papers and publications on Bergman’s work. We would like to cover all important motifs of Bergman’s work and try to “knock him off” the pedestal of an unattainable vintage giant – all this with the help of Katinka Farago, Bergman’s long-term assistant and the witness to many of his earthly and mental struggles.
