As children in the loving Ekdahl family, Fanny and Alexander enjoy a happy life with their parents, who run a theatre company. After the unexpected death of their father, the household dynamic experiences a sudden and sad change when their mother marries a stern bishop. Intended as his swan-song, Ingmar Bergman’s warmest and most autobiographical film combines his trademark melancholy and emotional intensity to present a nostalgic tale of familial love.
Want to know more about the Film Club?
The Hebden Bridge Film Club (HBFC) is an informal group of Picture House attendees formed in 2022. We stay in touch via Facebook and/or WhatsApp groups.
Are you new to the area or simply want to meet new people? There are lots of opportunities to be a part of HBFC; we occasionally meet up after a film to discuss it over a drink nearby and we also have monthly drinks for anyone that can make it.
The Film Club votes monthly for a screening at the Picture House – all are welcome! Particularly those who are alone and want to connect with like-minded people. Make sure to join the Film Club on Facebook (we are a very friendly bunch) and say hello!
