One week to go to Bergman week at Fårö
The 7th edition of the Bergman Week starts June 29 on Fårö.
The Masterclass with Liv Ullmann and screenings in Bergman's private cinema on the island have generated great interest. But with one week to go until the Bergman Weeks kicks off there are still tickets available.
Among the new additions featured this year is the cooperation with The Bergman Estates, which has resulted in a number of joint events within the framework of the Bergman Week. The Bergman Lecture will be the first in a series, and Norwegian dramatist Jon Fosse will be the first to deliver a personal talk - on Bergman and on theatre, Liv Ullmann will deliver a Masterclass and screenings are arranged in Bergman's private cinema for the first time since the director's demise in 2007.
"The Arc of Light" is a professional ligthing workshop departing from Winter Light, in cooperation with Sven Nykvist Cinematography Institute. Also new for this year is actors Yvonne Lombard and Pia Johansson in "A (Bus) Guide to the Bergman Galaxy".
