The triple Oscar-winner will be featured in a three-month long film festival and special exhibition.
Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982) is one of the world’s few actors ever to win three Oscars, a Tony, and two Emmy Awards. This international superstar was fascinating on and off screen. The film festival, opening July 2, features a range of her most famous to least-known movies - from very early films made in Sweden to her final one, also made in Sweden 40 years later, "Autumn Sonata," directed and written by compatriot Ingmar Bergman (who was no relation to Ingrid). Here's more on the actress: http://www.nordstjernan.com/news/arts/7079/
