September 22, 19.30

Today, no one except historian experts remembers that at the beginning of the twentieth century, great cinema existed in Sweden. Alas, the names of Maurice Stiller and Victor Shestrem do not say anything even to most modern directors. Meanwhile, from the films of these geniuses of Swedish cinema, the whole cinema of “spiritual search” was born, the greatest achievements of which in the future were films by Ingmar Bergman, Andrei Tarkovsky and Lars von Trierv. At the beginning of the last century in Sweden, the themes of sin and atonement, pride and repentance, death and spiritual rebirth were raised at the forefront of visual art, which was cinema in those days. But what interests Swedish artists 100 years later, you will learn at the exhibition. It’s interesting to compare, isn’t it?
