On July 25, this year it is going to be five years since Ingmar Bergman, the Swedish director, passed away. In honour of the director’s death anniversary, the Taj Enlighten Film Society (TEFS) has organised a film festival that will screen two of his movies at the NDFC theatre at Nehru Planetarium, Worli.

“I’ve studied Bergman’s films in great detail while I was at film school and I personally feel that his films are very enriching,” says Pranav Ashar, chairman of TEFS, explaining why they felt it was essential to pay tribute to the director. Bergman, who began his career in theatre, is known for the wide range of cinema he covered. He directed films in his lifetime and today his name is synonymous with European art cinema.
