The Norrtull Gang

“Directed by Per Lindberg, who was quite renowned at the time, and also written by Hjalmar Bergman. It is the story of a collective of women, superbly acted by the very finest actresses of the era – Tora Teje, Inga Tidblad… This was during the period when Elin Wägner was active and women’s rights were a pressing issue, so the film was very much of its time. For me, this film was an inspiration when I made Nära livet 35 years later.”

- Ingmar Bergman (from the 2006 programme)

Norrtullsligan is screened with newly composed music by singer and composer Lina Nyberg – performed live in the auditorium by Nyberg in collaboration with the Vindla String Quartet (Caroline Karpinska (violin), Maria Bergström (violin), Elina Nygren (viola), Gerda Holmquist (cello)).
