The Heathrow Towel – 2008 – 52’

This is a film about how infection spreads, seen from as close to it as possible. There is only one person who knows how to capture all virus and bacteria and what one does to actually see them.

And that person is Rolf Nybom, a researcher in Sweden. Together with the virologist Lennart Svensson, and a film crew with a somewhat morbid aversion to germs, we will discover a whole new world.

Liv og Ingmar – 2012 – 83’

This documentary is a love story - covering the 42year and 12-film relationship between legendary actress Liv Ullmann and master filmmaker Ingmar Bergman.

MEIN KAMPF

Krigsförbrytare – 1962 – 84’

The film initiated and produced by Tore Sjöberg, opens by showing the public hanging of four German soldiers in Russian Charkov already in 1943; the rest is focused on the events in Nuremberg, and on the rise and fall of the Nazi empire.

The Swedish censorship demanded four cuts in the film; Sjöberg appealed against this decision, and finally the government approved the original, unedited version to be released.

FACE OF WAR

Krigets vanvett – 1963 – 101’ Directed by: Hanna Solberger Legendary Swedish producer Tore Sjöberg continues - after the success of ”Mein Kampf” his role as storyteller of the grim history of the 20th century through documentary images.

HOMO NARRANS

Homo Narrans – 2015 – 50’ Directed by: Stefan Jarl Starring: Henning Mankell Henning Mankell was diagnosed with cancer and in 2015 he asked his close friend and renowned documentary film maker Stefan Jarl to film his “testament”.

Directed by: Erwin Leiser Produced by: Tore Sjöberg Shockwaves were sent – like carpet-bombs – over unprepared filmgoers when this film appeared on the screens fifteen years after the end of WWII.

FANNY AND ALEXANDER

Fanny och Alexander – 1982 – 189’ (Feature) or 314’ (TV Series) Oscar ® awarded for Best Art DirectionSet Decoration, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Foreign Language Film and nominated for Best Director Ingmar Bergman Directed by: Ingmar Bergman Starring: Kristina Adolphson, Ewa Fröling, Jan Malmsjö, Börje Ahlstedt, Pernilla Allwin, Kristian Almgren ”Fanny and Alexander” is Bergman’s dreamlike family chronicle. The Ekdahls are an upper-middleclass theatrical family sheltered by their own theatrics from the deepening chaos of the outside world. One tumultuous year in the life of the Ekdahl family is viewed through the eyes of ten-year-old Alexander, whose imagination fuels the magical goings-on leading up to and following the death of his father. His mother’s remarriage to a stern prelate banishes Alexander and his sister Fanny from all known joys, and thrusts them and the movie into a kind of gothic horror. The bishop is a Bergmanesque character whose severity has gone awry - he has become sinister - and the film’s round rejection of him in favour of ”kindness, affection and goodness” may be Bergman’s fondest farewell to cinema.

”Images from the Playground” is the first of two films – written and directed by Stig Björkman – that combine Ingmar Bergman’s behind-thescenes footage with voice recordings of Bergman, newly recorded interviews with actors Harriet Andersson and Bibi Andersson, and a special introduction by Martin Scorsese. In the early fifties, Ingmar Bergman got himself a cine camera, a 9.5 mm Bell & Howell, which he often used both privately and in his work. These images from the director’s grown-up playground are accompanied by Bergman’s own commentaries from various interviews. While actresses Harriet Andersson and Bibi Andersson – exposed to Bergman’s loving eye in these lavish documentary sequences – also contribute with vivid personal accounts. The behind-the-scenes material has been registered with UNESCO’s Memory of the World since 2007.

The film is an attempt to capture Ingmar Bergman’s extraordinary filmmaker persona based on behind-the scenes footage from eight movies, from “Persona” in 1965 to “Saraband” in 2003. Guided by Liv Ullmann and with commentaries from a number of prominent filmmakers for whom Bergman is and remains an important influence, the film provides a vivid portrait of the artist who in each new project found a challenge for himself and for the people he worked with – both actors and colleagues behind the camera.

“Fårö document 1979” is Ingmar Bergman’s moving tribute to the enduring spirit of the people of Fårö, an isolated rural island in the Baltic. The documentary reflects the director’s forty-year love affair with Fårö, the setting of his 1961 masterpiece “Through a Glass Darkly”.

Vividly evoking the desolate landscape and resilient inhabitants of Fårö, the film is a passionate record of a way of life increasingly threatened by modern, technocratic society.

The beautiful Clara Fina Gulleborg is the apple of her father’s eye, the ageing farmer Jan in Skrotlycka.

When she leaves her home for a more exciting life in the city Jan is devastated. His broken father’s heart causes him to loose his mind and he becomes “The Emperor of Portugallia”.

”Masterpiece” was a word frequently used when this movie opened. Chendu is a little boy in an aboriginal jungle village in the heart of India. One day he spots a leopard, but is stopped from using his bow; it might be a bad omen or it might be the same beast that killed his father. So the leopard is still out there, ready to strike again.

Carlsen has made an excellent screen adaptation of Knut Hamsun’s famous first novel. In 1890, Pontus, the starving writer, wanders the streets of Christiania, in search of love and a chance to get his work published. All he meets is defeat and suffering while his sense of reality is withering.
