More information

Det har gått hundra år sedan Ingmar Bergman föddes 14 juli 1918. Detta uppmärksammas på flera håll i världen bland annat genom Bergmanfestival på Dramaten i Stockholm, utställningar på Fårö, filmvisningar i Tel Aviv, Barcelona, Trondheim, Detroit och många många fler. Hans Gedda fotograferade Ingmar Bergman för tidningen Femina år 1973 under inspelningen av filmen Viskningar & Rop. Bergman hade lovat ge Gedda några minuter själv utomhus för fotograferingen men en av Bergmans medarbetare kom in och sa att bilden måste fotograferas under intervjun. Gedda hade både blixt och stora Hasselbladaren i händerna och försökte häva sig åt sidan vid det trånga intervjubordet för att beskära bort journalisten ur bild. Efteråt blev Gedda så besviken på resultatet att det kom att ta 10-15 år innan han återupptäckte bilden i sina samlingar. Nu, långt senare, såg han med andra ögon på motivet och gillade den så pass mycket att han tagit fram den i 25 exemplar.
