Ingmar Bergman dance films
Two dance films showing Ingmar Bergman's relation to dance
THE CONDEMNED WOMEN DANCE was recorded during the filming of The Magic Flute in 1977. It is a Bergmanesque dance piece about women’s oppression of each other, by choreographer Donya Feuer and Ingmar Bergman. The piece is presented with period-typical pedagogy by Ingela Lind (Swedish Television).
It was filmed in Bergman’s barn on Fårö, with cinematography by Sven Nykvist, and was premiered out of competition at Prix Italia in 1976.
INMAR BERGMAN THROUGH THE CHOREOGRAPHER'S EYE was filmed in an aircraft hangar near Fårö in 2016. Four famous Swedish choreographers get inspired by Ingmar Bergman and his works.
Produced by Ingmar Bergman jr.

4 x Gunnel Lindblom
Gunnel Lindblom (1931-2021) was a pioneering Swedish film director whose work centered on women’s experiences and inner lives. With a deep sensitivity to social structures and personal dilemmas, her films explored themes such as patriarchy, infidelity, motherhood, and family dynamics. Through a distinctly female perspective, she shed light on the emotional and societal challenges women face, often portraying characters at critical turning points in their lives.
In earlier years she gained international recognition as an actress through her strong performances in several of Ingmar Bergman’s most acclaimed films such as The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, The Virgin Spring,
The Silence, etc.
