Isabella Rossellini to visit Stockholm International Film Festival

Oscar nominated actress Isabella Rossellini will visit Stockholm International Film Festival this fall for two special screenings combined with related conversations. Isabella Rossellini has previously had a professional as well as a private relationship with the departed festival favourite David Lynch, to whom this year's festival is dedicated.

Isabella Rossellini was awarded the Stockholm Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020, in the midst of the Covid pandemic. Due to the current, global situation at the time, a visit to Stockholm was impossible. This year, Stockholm International Film Festival is very pleased to finally be able to welcome Isabella Rossellini to Stockholm.

On Friday November 14, Blue Velvet will be screened at Bio Skandia, as a part of the festival’s tribute to David Lynch. In addition to the screening, a Face2Face session about Lynch will be held between Isabella Rossellini and film journalist and director Stig Björkman. On Saturday November 15, she will participate in a conversation with the audience, regarding memories of her mother Ingrid Bergman, one of the world’s most famous actresses. The conversation is centered around a special screening of never before seen clips from the production of the documentary I am Ingrid (2015).

–I am very much looking forward to visiting the Stockholm International Film Festival. Sharing memories from my collaboration with David Lynch and screening Blue Velvet as part of the festival’s tribute to him feels very special. It will also be an honor to speak about my mother, Ingrid Bergman, in her homeland – something I truly look forward to sharing with the audience and in conversation with Stig Björkman, Isabella Rossellini says.

Tickets to these special presentations with Isabella Rossellini will be released on Thursday, October 2.
