Images from the Playground

In the early 50s, Ingmar Bergman got himself a cine-camera, a 9.5 mm Bell & Howell, which he often used both privately and in his work. Images from the Playground presents these films, providing a diverse representation of one of the greatest artists in cinema. These imagery from the director’s grown-up playground is accompanied with Bergman’s own commentaries from various interviews. Whereas the actresses Harriet Andersson and Bibi Andersson – exposed to Bergman’s loving eye in these wealthy documents – also contribute with personal visual pictures.
