Except the actor and director Kenneth Branagh, this year's Bergman Week is visited by Bibi Andersson, who among others will introduce the screening of Persona. Among the other participants are the pianist Käbi Laretei who will talk about her musical collaboration with Bergman, and the British film researcher Laura Hubner, author of "The Films of Ingmar Bergman: Illusions of Light and Darkness" . Hubner speaks about Bergman's androgynies and classical portraits of women, while Professor Birgitta Steene gives a lecture about the symbolic landscapes of Bergman.
During the week there is also an opportunity to see the rare documentaries Fårö Document and Fårö Document 1979, as well as the TV-theatre productions of P.O. Enquist's The Image Makers and Strindberg's A Dreamplay, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Also, Marie Nyreröd introduces a screening of her highly praised documentary, Bergman Island, and the photographer Bengt Wanselius shows a set of images from The Image Makers. One can also attend the traditional Bergman safari led by the Bergman associates Arne Carlsson and Katinka Faragó.
