Bergman À La Mode Film Costumes for Leading Ladies PRESSRELEASE September 2017 NEW EXHIBITION! Bergman à la mode Film costumes for leading ladies The exhibition Bergman à la mode will open at the Museum Hallwyl on November 10th. It will start the celebration of Ingmar Bergman, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday on July 14th. The exhibition will connect to those of Bergman’s films, set during the late 19th century and the early 20th century. These productions also correspond timewise with the period during which the Hallwyl family lived and worked in their palace, before it was turned into a museum. Bergman à la mode pictures the central roles of women in Ingmar Bergman’s vast film pro- duction. The women in his films are sometimes referred to as the “Bergman female”­­­­. In his films, women bring in the colour, while the men make up a dark background, literally ­­­ illuminating the women. A lot of characters join together to form the ”Bergman female”. Those are introduced through selected costumes from the films, displayed in the sleeping chambers of the museum. We will meet Bergman as a person and as an artist. Family pictures from his own childhood and growth display the parallels between Bergman’s life and the imaginary world he created. –The film costumes of Bergman have never before been displayed in this way. There is consi- derable research behind this exhibition. We have found costumes that have never been on display in public since the films were made. We are extra pleased to be able to exhibit costumes from Bergman’s black and white movies. No one ever knew what colour they actually were, says Anna Bergman, set designer, costume designer and co-producer of the exhibition. Historical costume drama and turn of the century bourgeoisie The Hallwyl Palace frames the turn of the century and the ”discrete charm” of the bourgeoisie. The connection to the museum and the life that was once lived here is obvious: the ever-present maid, the young fashionista and the ageing matriarch. There are a lot of similarities between Wilhelmina von Hallwyl and the woman (grandmother or aunt) that so often take a central position in the narrative of Bergman. Wilhelmina can be compared to Helena Ekdahl (Gun Wållgren) in Fanny and Alexander or Anna Åkerblom (Ghita Nørby) in The Best Intentions. Family and household is in her hands. She is a strong and inde- pendent women who is in control of her assets. Costumes, preserved drawings and film stills form a condensed image, of the textile ­­­­ craft of the dresses but also of the context and the making of the movies. A good cos- tume is like a second skin that grows into its character. The exhibition displays costumes from the following films, of which most are written and directed by Ingmar Bergman: Sawdust and tinsel (1953); Smiles of a Summer Night (1955); Wild Strawberries (1957); The Virgin Spring (1960); The Pleasure Garden (1961, directed by Alf Kjellin, written by Ingmar Bergman); All These Women (1964); Cries and Whispers (1973); Fanny and Alexander (1982); The Best Intentions (1991, directed by Bille August, written by Ingmar Bergman); Sunday’s Children (1992, directed by Daniel Bergman, written by Ingmar Bergman); In the presence of a clown (1997). The exhibition is on show between November 10th 2017 – to March 18th 2018. Invitation to the press event with a guided tour of the exhibition will be sent out in October. Idea and exhibition design: set designer and costume designer and Nils Harning, teacher of Costume/Props at Stockholm University of the Arts. Co-produced with SCFI/Stockholm Costume & Fashion Institute A catalogue is produced: Bergman á la mode. It features texts by Anna Bergman and Nils Harning. Editor: Lotta Lewenhaupt, author and fashion journalist. There will also be talks and other events in connection with the exhibition. About Hallwylska museet/The Hallwyl House Once it was a home of Count and Countess Walther and Wilhelmina von Hallwyl – today: one of Stockholm’s most eccentric and engaging museums. This palatial residence was built as a winter home for the immensely rich couple, completed in 1898.

SYNOPSIS There’s a theory that we should be born with a small amount of alcohol in our blood, and that modest inebriation opens our minds to the world around us, diminishing our problems and increasing our creativity. Heartened by that theory, Martin and three of his friends, all weary high school teachers, embark on an experiment to maintain a constant level of intoxication throughout the workday. If Churchill won WW2 in a heavy daze of alcohol, who knows what a few drops might do for them and their students? Initial results are positive, and the teachers’ little project turns into a genuine academic study. Both their classes and their results continue to improve, and the group feels alive again! As the units are knocked back, some of the participants see further improvement and others go off the rails. It becomes increasingly clear that while alcohol may have fueled great results in world history, some bold acts carry consequences. DIRECTOR’S INTENT THOMAS VINTERBERG “I never drink before breakfast.” The quote is from Churchill, who helped to defeat the Germans and win World War II, while under the excessive and constant influence of alcohol.

Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

  • “Aspects of Danish Cinema”
    Programme of Danish Film Screenings at the Danish Institute at Athens 2018 “Aspects of Danish Cinema”. By Ioanna Athanassatou/Film Historic at the Greek Open University & the University of Athens Screening on the 26th of April 2018 Silent heart (2014) by Bille August In film screening programme of the last 2 years, we have had the chance to see I line of Danish movies from Carl Dreyer, Lars von Trier, Susanne Bier and Thomas Vinterberg. Today we have chosen to screen “Silent heart” - in Danish ”Stille hjerte” and in Greek “Αθόρυβη καρδιά” (2014) by Bille August, the fourth movie this year. Bille August is considered the total opposite to Lars Von Trier and Vinterberg with a great international reputation. The filmography of Bille August includes two movies that both were awarded with the Golden Palms in Cannes: “Pelle the Conqueror” (1988) and “The best intentions” (1992). In these movies, including today´s, the director is closer to the cinematic perception of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman (Valoukos 2003, page 630), avoiding formalistic searching, but focusing on the mental state of his heroes. When August directed the movie in 2014, he was inspired by the Scandinavian drama of Ibsen and Strindberg, but also by the philosophic/religious meditation of Søren Kierkegaard. “Silent heart” touches upon the very complex and emotional issue of euthanasia. It was awarded at International festivals and was admitted at the European Art House. The movie is about the family gathering of three generations, coming together for the weekend inorder to say their last goodbye to Esther (Ghita Nørby) – mother and grandmother – who is sick from the incurable disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

  • He Dreams of Giants
    From the makers of Lost In La Mancha comes A Tale of Obsession… He Dreams of Giants A film by Keith Fulton and Lou Pepe RUNNING TIME: 84 minutes United Kingdom, 2019, DCP, 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround, Aspect Ratio16:9 PRESS CONTACT: Cinetic Media Ryan Werner and Charlie Olsky 1 SYNOPSIS “Why does anyone create? It’s hard. Life is hard. Art is hard. Doing anything worthwhile is hard.” – Terry Gilliam From the team behind Lost in La Mancha and The Hamster Factor, HE DREAMS OF GIANTS is the culmination of a trilogy of documentaries that have followed film director Terry Gilliam over a twenty-five-year period. Charting Gilliam’s final, beleaguered quest to adapt Don Quixote, this documentary is a potent study of creative obsession. For over thirty years, Terry Gilliam has dreamed of creating a screen adaptation of Cervantes’ masterpiece. When he first attempted the production in 2000, Gilliam already had the reputation of being a bit of a Quixote himself: a filmmaker whose stories of visionary dreamers raging against gigantic forces mirrored his own artistic battles with the Hollywood machine. The collapse of that infamous and ill-fated production – as documented in Lost in La Mancha – only further cemented Gilliam’s reputation as an idealist chasing an impossible dream. HE DREAMS OF GIANTS picks up Gilliam’s story seventeen years later as he finally mounts the production once again and struggles to finish it. Facing him are a host of new obstacles: budget constraints, a history of compromise and heightened expectations, all compounded by self-doubt, the toll of aging, and the nagging existential question: What is left for an artist when he completes the quest that has defined a large part of his career? 2 Combining immersive verité footage of Gilliam’s production with intimate interviews and archival footage from the director’s entire career, HE DREAMS OF GIANTS is a revealing character study of a late-career artist, and a meditation on the value of creativity in the face of mortality.

  • The Films of Ingmar Bergman Jesse Kalin Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521380650 - The Films of Ingmar Bergman Jesse Kalin Frontmatter More information The Films of Ingmar Bergman This volume provides a concise overview of the career of one of the modern masters of world cinema. Jesse Kalin defines Bergman’s conception of the human condition as a struggle to find meaning in life as it is played out. For Bergman, meaning is achieved independently of any moral absolute and is the result of a process of self-examination. Six existential themes are explored repeatedly in Bergman’s films: judgment, abandonment, suffering, shame, a visionary picture, and above all, turning toward or away from others. Kalin examines how Bergman develops these themes cinematically, through close analysis of eight films: well-known favorites such as Wild Strawberries, The Seventh Seal, Smiles of a Summer Night, and Fanny and Alexander; and im- portant but lesser-known works, such as Naked Night, Shame, Cries and Whispers, and Scenes from a Marriage. Jesse Kalin is Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Humanities and Professor of Philosophy at Vassar College, where he has taught since 1971. He served as the Associate Editor of the journal Philosophy and Literature, and has con- tributed to journals such as Ethics, American Philosophical Quarterly, and Philosophical Studies. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521380650 - The Films of Ingmar Bergman Jesse Kalin Frontmatter More information CAMBRIDGE FILM CLASSICS General Editor: Ray Carney, Boston University The Cambridge Film Classics series provides a forum for revisionist studies of the classic works of the cinematic canon from the perspective of the “new auterism,” which recognizes that films emerge from a complex interaction of bureaucratic, technological, intellectual, cultural, and personal forces.

  • To Download SEARCHING for INGMAR BERGMAN
    SYNOPSIS Internationally renowned director Margarethe von Trotta examines Ingmar Bergman’s life and work with a circle of his closest collaborators as well as a new generation of filmmakers. This documentary presents key components of his legacy, as it retraces themes that recurred in his life and art and takes us to the places that were central to Bergman’s creative achievements. DIRECTOR’S BIOGRAPHY The daughter of Elisabeth von Trotta and the painter Alfred Roloff, Margarethe von Trotta was born in Berlin in 1942 and spent her childhood in Düsseldorf. After fine art studies, she moved to Munich to study Germanic and Latin language. She then joined a school for dramatic arts and began an acting career, in the theatres of Düsseldorf and afterwards in the Kleines Theater of Frankfurt in 1969 and 1970. At the end of the 1960 she moved in Paris for her studies and immersed herself in the film-lover circles of the time. She took part in script redacting and directing of short films and discovered via the Nouvelle Vague directors and critics the films of Ingmar Bergman and Alfred Hitchcock. In Germany, Margarethe von Trotta has worked with a new generation of young filmmakers: Herbert Achternbusch, Volker Schlöndorff who she married in 1971 and with whom she directed and wrote The Sudden Wealth of the Poor People of Kombach (1971) and The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum (1975), as well as Rainer Werner Fassbinder who made her act in four of his films. She directed in 1978 her first long feature, The Second Awakening of Christa Klages.
