Best-known for its portraits, Stockholmers flocked here to have their RM -year-olds, wedding couples and tiny tots immortalised. The display window on Kungsgatan attracted both professionals and amateurs. Several generations of pho - tographers sought out Winquist, but he did not offer any formal classes. Instead, his young assistants learnt through practi - cal work. For instance, Hans Gedda relat - ed how he would enter the studio after Winquist had left, to examine his settings and how he had positioned the lights and camera, etc. Although the Swedish Na - tional Portrait Gallery already had works by several prominent photographers who have been employed at Ateljé Uggla (in - cluding works by Hans Gedda and Hans Hammarskiöld), there were no works by Winquist himself. Therefore, the acquisi - tion this year of one of his portraits of Gertrud Fridh is especially noteworthy. Rolf Winquist ( NVNM ÓNVSU ), Portrait of Gertrud Fridh ( NVON ÓNVUQ ), as Medea, NVRN .

  • Ingmar Bergman – His Autobiography the Magic
    INGMAR BERGMAN – HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY THE MAGIC LANTERN Ingmar Bergman is considered by many to be the world’s greatest living film director and is also internationally well known as a theatre, television and opera director. He was born in 1918 in Uppsala, Sweden, and studied at Stockholm University. From 1943 to 1946 he was a producer and scriptwriter for Svensk Filmindustri and, later, Artistic Adviser. He has directed at theatres throughout Sweden as well as abroad and was Head of the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm from 1963 to 1966. His many films include The Seventh Seal, Smiles of a Summer Night, Persona, The Virgin Spring, Through a Glass Darkly, Cries and Whispers, Scenes from a Marriage, Face to Face, Autumn Sonata, The Serpent’s Egg, From the Life of the Marionettes and Fanny and Alexander, winner of four Academy Awards. Ingmar Bergman has received many international awards and prizes for his films, including the Goethe Prize in 1976 and the Swedish Gold Medal in 1977. I When I was born in 1918, my mother had Spanish influenza. I was in a bad way and was baptized as a precaution at the hospital. One day the family was visited by the old house doctor, who looked at me and said: ‘He’s dying of under nourishment.’ My maternal grandmother took me with her to her summer house in Dalarna, and on the train journey, which in those days took a whole day; she fed me with sponge cake soaked in water. By the time we finally arrived, I was practically dead, but Grandmother managed to find a wet nurse — a kindly, fair-haired girl from a neighbouring village.

  • Fresas Salvajes Y Persona: El Encuentro Con Uno Mismo Y Las Relaciones Humanas En El Cine De Ingmar Bergman
    PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA DEL PERÚ FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS Y ARTES DE LA COMUNICACIÓN Fresas salvajes y Persona: el encuentro con uno mismo y las relaciones humanas en el cine de Ingmar Bergman Tesis para optar el Título de LICENCIADA EN COMUNICACIÓN AUDIOVISUAL Presentada por SUSANA ELVIRA DEL RÍO KUROIWA Lima - Perú 2004 RESUMEN Fresas salvajes y Persona: el encuentro con uno mismo y las relaciones humanas en el cine de Ingmar Bergman tiene como objetivo analizar la obra de Bergman a través de dos películas, Fresas salvajes (1957) y Persona (1966), realizadas en décadas y contextos diversos, lo que permite establecer considerables comparaciones, tanto a nivel de forma como de contenido. Ingmar Bergman es un cineasta sueco cuya época de mayor actividad cinematográfica se ubica en las décadas de los cincuenta, sesenta e inicios de los setenta. Su filmografía, que incluye más de medio centenar de películas, se explica a la luz del cine de autor; de ahí que el análisis de su obra exija descifrar el universo personal que plantea el director. Este trabajo de investigación considera que Bergman aborda temas existenciales, que a manera de motivos, aparecen en forma reiterada en sus películas. Con la intención de reconocer las variaciones de estos motivos, la presente tesis analiza la evolución en sus filmes de dos características de la existencia, el encuentro con uno mismo y las relaciones humanas. Se trata de dos matrices, cuya delimitación incluye la revisión de tres influencias en la obra de Bergman: el luteranismo, el existencialismo y el entorno sueco. El análisis también considera la vida personal del director.

  • Copyright 2012 Lawrence D. Smith
    Copyright 2012 Lawrence D. Smith THE PERFORMANCE-WITHIN, CREATIVE AUTHENTICITY, AND PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE: LINKING THEATRE, FILM, AND PHILOSOPHY IN THE WORK OF INGMAR BERGMAN BY LAWRENCE D. SMITH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theatre with a Minor in Cinema Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Esther Kim Lee, Chair Associate Professor Anna W. Stenport, Director of Research Associate Professor Peter A. Davis Professor William R. Schroeder, Emeritus Abstract This dissertation offers an analysis of the convention of the “performance-within” in the films of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007). This analysis is practical, aesthetic, and historical. It considers how specific performances-within were devised and presented, the various functions of the performance-within in terms of aesthetic structure and affect, the meanings and implications of the performance-within, and a consideration of the performance-within and its contingent cultural and historical contexts. In the works of Ingmar Bergman, the presence of a performance-within typically occurs in relation with a protagonist’s search for an authentic existence, and is oftentimes related to artistic endeavor. This connection raises the issue of “creative authenticity,” a term coined here in developing an account of the agentic attributes of human aesthetic performance. A “performance-within” is defined here as an aesthetic feature in an enacted drama, one in which a performance in a medium considered self-standing in an everyday context is included and presented in the course of a larger enacted narrative, and therefore stands apart as an artistic event within the diegetic world of that narrative.

  • 2 UDC 378 Analysis of Art House Media Texts Use During Media Stud
    European Journal of Contemporary Education, 2012, Vol.(2), № 2 UDC 378 Analysis of Art House Media Texts Use during Media Studies in the Student Audience (Alain Robbe-Grillet Movies Case Study) Alexander Fedorov Anton Chekhov Taganrog State Pedagogical Institute, Russia Prof. Dr. (Pedagogy) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The study of media culture and virtual world requires knowledge and skills of the analysis of media texts of different levels of complexity. In this sense, the cinematic legacy of the great French writer, screenwriter and filmmaker Alain Robbe-Grillet (1922-2008) gives productive opportunities for the analysis of works of the elite media culture and fits well into the main range of media education goals of higher education (especially in the training of future culture experts, art historians, sociologists, linguists, psychologists, teachers). The article examines the main approaches to the analysis of art house media texts of A. Robbe-Grillet in the context of media education. Keywords: analysis; media text; media competence; media education; media literacy; media culture; students; university; Robbe-Grillet; art house; film; cinema. Epigraph: «I am being pressed from all sides: why don’t you speak easier for the public to understand; why not make an effort to get better understanding? And so on. In any case, these claims are absurd. … What should I make easier? If I’m racking my brains over a mystery which seems to me as a lack of my own meaningful continuity, then how can I make a full and complete story out of it? What could I “simply” draw from such a paradoxical relationship to the world and my essence, from the relationship where everything is ambivalent, contradictory and ephemeral? Alain Robbe-Grillet, 2005, p.23 Introduction.
