Bergman Film Series

coordinated by Elizabeth Oakes (The Maia Quartet) and Jon Winet (Intermedia)

Ingmar Bergman's The Trilogy (Through A Glass Darkly, Winter Light, The Silence) and Autumn Sonata

“The Trilogy” is one of the major achievements of Swedish film and stage director Ingmar Bergman’s brilliant career.

Created in rapid succession in the early sixties, the trio of films present a “hopeless message of grief and despair’, examining with laser point precision the challenges of faith and existence in the twentieth century. Through their haunting black and white images, sparse dialog and score, compelling performances and exquisitely crafted production, the films none-the-less fill the viewer with an optimism about the power of art to more deeply describe and understand the world.

Autumn Sonata, the last film in the series brings Ingmar and Ingrid Bergman together for their one collaboration.Scored by the music of Chopin, Bach and Handel, the 1978 film explores the emotional depths of mother daughter relations. Both Ingrid Bergman and co-star Liv Ullmann give tour-de-force performances. Sven Nykvist, Bergman’s longtime cinematographer renders the narrative with a rich color palette.

The films will be presented in the state of the art auditorium of the School of Art & Art History’s new building.

Ghost Sonata, by August Strindberg
presented in collaboration with the Maia Quartet
Directed by Kevin Harris
E. C. Mabie Theatre

Considered one of the greatest plays of the twentieth century, Ghost Sonata is described as a dream play in three movements. In a world where nothing is as it seems, this poetic, surreal, and highly theatrical play includes vampires, veiled characters, and doors that lead nowhere as it follows the story of a young man in search of the girl of his dreams. Intertwined with live music from the late quartets of Beethoven, this production promises to be a truly “must see” event.

$17/nonstudents, $12/seniors, $8/students.
Call the Hancher Box Office at 335-1160 or 1-800-HANCHER.
