The Festival Tent

Laterna Magica

Every day in the Festival Tent.

Ingmar Bergman wrote his autobiographical Laterna Magica in the late 1980s. It was published in several languages and became an instant success. Now his memoirs are available as an audiobook, narrated by Reine Brynolfsson in an edition from Adelphi Audio. Now Reine Brynolfsson comes to the festival to read Bergman live. A number of other actors will join him to read their favourite chapter. A live audiobook with your lunch, as it were.

Our house band The Bob, featuring Kent from Sator and Dan Viktor, will take the stage while a row of artists will contribute their own distinctive Dylan interpretations. Relay race writer Nina Wähä, Farväl Falkenbergs' Jesper Ganslandt and Erik Enochsson to name just a few.

Twenty images are shown for twenty seconds each, during which time people from different creative fields get the chance to show off! and present what they represent. Count on fast pace, nerve and inspiration. And hopefully method and meaning. In this special edition, the focus is naturally on film and filmmakers.
