In the final part of our centennial celebration of Ingmar Bergman, we turn to his various portraits of the artist, writes season programmer Geoff Andrew Bergman’s films were unusually personal; most were to some degree inspired by his own thoughts, emotions, anxieties and experiences. He preferred to depict milieux he knew; even the films set in the past speak of his own concerns. It’s unsurprising, then, that artists and entertainers – creators, interpreters, performers of one sort or another – abound in his work. So here are movies which, like Persona, reflect on the artist’s role, function and place in society, examining the doubts and demons, misunderstandings and criticisms, blockages and burdens faced by those striving to live a creative life. Profoundly aware that his work in film, television and theatre was a form of illusionism, Bergman never romanticised the creative process, but constantly asked questions as to its purpose and worth – with insightful, exhilarating, often provocative results.

In the second month of our showcase of on-screen gal pals, women are front and centre in all their fierce complexity; laughing, dancing, bitching, scheming, and generally doing whatever the hell they want! For every dance and makeover montage, these films go deep into the often misunderstood dynamics of female friendships. These films put female interests, issues, fears and lives at their heart, from borderline obsessive besties to the power plays of teen girl gangs, and they celebrate the spaces we create for ourselves. The spaces where we are enough.
