On the occasion of his centenary, the Cabinet of Audiovisual Dramatic Arts is organising a seminardedicated to the cinematic, dramatic and literary work of Ingmar Bergman, in collaboration with the Slovak Film Institute, Film Europe and other partners.
The main guest of this year’s seminar is film historian and director of the Ingmar Bergman Foundationin Stockholm, Jan Holmberg, who will present an introduction to the opening screening of Wild Strawberries and deliver a master class on Bergman intended for film scholars, students and the public at large.
Other guests at the seminar will include Prof. Zuzana Gindl-Tatárová with a lecture on Bergman’s Fanny and Alexander, literary theorist and writer Július Vanovič, who will address the topic of religiosity in Bergman’s oeuvre, as well as two prominent Slovak psychiatrists MUDr. Peter Breier and MUDr. Jozef Hašto, who will present an analysis of Bergman’s work through the lens of his final television interview. The programme will also include a panel discussion on the stage tradition of Bergman’s plays in Czech and Slovak theatres, screenings of selected feature and documentary films, as well as screenings of stage productions.
The seminar will be accompanied by a theatrical performance of a student production by DAMU Prague, Summer with Monika, which will premiere on 25 October at 7 p.m. in Studio 12 in Bratislava, under the auspices of the Theatre Institute.

Accreditation is required at www.kadu.sk. Fanny and Alexander is Bergman’s dreamlike family chronicle. The Ekdahl’s are an upper-middle-class 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. Oscar® awarded for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Foreign Language Film and nominated for Best Director Ingmar Bergman. Show more

Sen starnúceho profesora Borga naznačuje neodvratnú blízkosť jeho smrti, a zároveň neodčinený dlh, ktorý musí do konca svojho života splatiť. Rozhodne sa odcestovať na juh Švédska, no z poverčivosti a strachu pred lietadlom uprednostní cestu autom. V sprievode jeho nevesty sa výlet mení na cestu do minulosti a vnútra, počas ktorej sa hranice medzi skutočnosťou a snom pomaly rozplývajú. Na konci namáhavej duševnej púte Borga čaká kruté sebapoznanie a prehodnotenie doterajšieho života. Show more
