Film series “Mai Zetterling”

This series presents a comprehensive selection of her work, both as an actress and director, including a new restoration of her first short film, “The War Game”, as well as previously unseen material from her personal archive.

Despite being a pioneer and one of Sweden’s leading filmmakers, her work was often overshadowed in a male-dominated film industry. Called a radical feminist by some and the opposite by others, Zetterling was also a writer and political critic, and often worked with her own scripts and as a creative producer.

The series not only offers a retrospective look at her influential filmography, but also explores her legacy as a key figure in the development of European cinema, especially regarding the representation of women and the exploration of social issues. An unmissable opportunity to appreciate the talent and audacity of a true innovator of the seventh art.
