INGMAR BERGMAN – Through the Choreographer’s Eye

A film by Fredrik Stattin

Four of Sweden’s most innovative choreographers travel to Ingmar Bergman’s home on Fårö to explore and get inspired. The result is an inventive dance film.

As a film director. Bergman was also a choreographer. Throughout his films, and his theatre works, one can sense his refined choreographed language—in the beautiful movement of a head, or an arm, in the blink of an eyelid…

The renowned Swedish choreographers Alexander Ekman, Pär Isberg, Pontus Lidberg and Joakim Stephenson with principal dancers Jenny Nilson, Nathalie Nordquist, Oscar Salomonsson and Nadja Sellrup from the Royal Swedish Ballet, interpret Ingmar Bergman through original dances performances, linked together with images of Fårö, Bergman’s home Hammars, and the voice of Bergman himself.
