Bergman’s Video Gädda Five, Sweden When Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman died in 2007 he left behind a collection of 1711 films on VHS. This documentary focuses on the films within the wide-ranging Bergman archive. Synopsis Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman was an avid film buff. In addition to having a private cinema in his home on the small island of Fårö, where he saw movies daily, he also had his own personal VHS library. More than 1,500 films can be found on the shelves in Ingmar Bergman’s screening room. The collection, carefully arranged in alphabetical order, with personal notes on favourites, remains exactly as Bergman left it when he passed away on July 30 2007. In the spirit of Ingmar Bergman, Bergman’s Video is a new feature length documentary, just as mixed and wide-ranged as the Swedish director’s library of films. The film will feature the filmmakers and actors who are represented in the Bergman collection but also a younger generation of directors who are working with the same themes and issues as Bergman. Bergman’s Video will give new insight into the genius of Bergman but will also, as importantly, portray the greatest filmmakers of today. How they work, why they choose the themes they keep returning to and why film is an art-form like no other. Directors’ Statement When we first entered Bergman’s TV room we were struck by the strange mix. There were the expected highbrow films by Fellini, Truffaut and Kieslowski, but also more lowbrow entertainment, such as The Thing, The Blues Brothers, and Romancing the Stone. There was a predominance of red and yellow VHS covers, mixed with softer hues that signalled ‘quality’. Some of the tapes had handwritten titles, penned by Bergman himself, and yet another few were marked with an X to indicate Bergman’s degree of approval. Sunset Boulevard, Bergman’s favourite film, is the only tape in the collection which warranted a full five Xs. During two dark October days we had the honour of documenting Ingmar Bergman’s whole collection, emerging into the light with an altered vision of the great director. Thus began our work on documentary series Bergman’s Video. We heard that Michael Douglas had been granted a private tour of Bergman’s house. When he saw that the collection included Wall Street he exclaimed, “He has seen my film!” Inspired by Michael Douglas’ reaction we contacted the actors and directors who are represented in Bergman’s video library and interviewed them about the films that Bergman had in his collection. Directors’ filmography Jane Magnusson has a BA in film and media studies and 20 years of journalist experience within print, radio and television media. She wrote the screenplay for feature The Swimsuit Issue (Tribeca 2009). Her full length documentary Ebbe – the Movie won the Guldbagge for best documentary (Swedish equivalent of the Oscar). Hynek Pallas has worked as a Swedish journalist and film critic for more than ten years, mainly writing for the daily Svenska Dagbladet and other publications. He has a PhD in Film studies from the University of Stockholm and has published two books on Swedish film. Production Company Gädda Five is a Stockholm-based production company, mainly focusing on TV and documentary. Since the company’s debut in 2006 Gädda Five has, so far, produced the highly acclaimed documentary Ebbe – The Movie as well as co- produced the feature Allt Flyter (The Swimsuit Issue, dir. Måns Herngren). Gädda Five’s goal is to develop strong ideas and produce high-end film and television for an international audience. Current Status Finance currently in place from Gädda Five, The Bergman Estate, Gotland Filmfund, SVT, and presales to France and Australia.
