FILM & LECTURES: Bergman Centennial Summer

01 Jul 2018 - 10 Sep 2018

The National Gallery of Art, the American Film Institute, and the Embassy of Sweden have collaborated to create a unique film experience for audiences in the greater DC metro region, with more than 75 film screenings (many in rarely seen original formats), expert seminars, and exhibitions that allow Bergman fans to dive deeper into his work. These celebrations are made possible with the support of the Ingmar Bergman Foundation, the Swedish Film Institute, and the Swedish Institute.

The National Gallery of Art’s screenings highlight Bergman’s early works from the 1940s and 1950s. Films are shown in the East Building Auditorium in original formats whenever possible between July 1 - September 3.
