Remembering Ingmar Bergman
Wed Jul 23, 7:00 PM
Lamakaan
Every Wednesday this July, Lamakaan pays homage to one of cinema’s most profound auteurs with the film festival “Remembering Ingmar Bergman.” A visionary director whose work shaped the very language of modern cinema, Bergman's films remain timeless meditations on the human condition. With piercing psychological insight and stark poetic imagery, his stories explored themes of faith and doubt, love and loneliness, identity and death, often blurring the line between dreams and reality.
About the Director: Ingmar Bergman, one of cinema’s most revered auteurs, was born on July 14, 1918, in Uppsala, Sweden, and passed away on July 30, 2007, on the island of Fårö, where he filmed many of his later works. Over a prolific career spanning six decades, Bergman directed more than 60 films and 170 theatrical productions, crafting deeply introspective narratives that explored existential angst, faith, mortality, and human relationships. His cinematic style is marked by stark imagery, psychological depth, and a profound use of silence and symbolism.
