Set on Fårö, the Swedish island where Ingmar Bergman lived and worked, Bergman Island sees a couple retreat there to write screenplays for their upcoming films when the lines between reality and fiction start to blur.

Persona will be accompanying Bergman Island – a rare opportunity to see the master’s classic psychological masterpiece. Famed stage stress Elisabeth suffers a moment of blankness during a performance and the next day lapses into total silence. She and a nurse recuperate by the sea.
