Research and Publication Centre (RPC) in collaboration with Filmbar (on Instagram) announces the inauguration of a Season of World Cinema beginning Friday, December 16, 2022 with the first screening of Ingmar Bergman's Persona.
In the first of a series of legendary performances for Bergman, Liv Ullmann plays a stage actor who has inexplicably gone mute. An equally mesmerising Bibi Andersson is the garrulous young nurse caring for her in a remote island cottage. While isolated, the two women undergo a mysterious spiritual and emotional transference. Performed with astonishing nuance and shot in stark contrast and soft light by Sven Nykvist, the film is a penetrating, dreamlike work of profound psychological depth.
Timing: 5:00 pm, Friday, December 16, 2022 at Research and Publication Centre (RPC), 2nd floor, 65 Main Boulevard Gulberg, Lahore (next to Standard Chartered Bank, above Indesign showroom).
All friends are welcome. Tea will be served after the show.
