MUMBAI: Hollywood’s legendary actress Liv Ullmann will attend the Videocon IIFA Weekend between 7 and 9 June in Singapore.
The 74-year-old actress is due to showcase her latest film Liv and Ingmar, based on her life story on 8 June. This is for the first time that an international film will be showcased at the IIFA event to a select audience.
Averred Wizcraft Entertainment International director Andre Timmins, “Liv Ullmann is one of the most beautiful and talented actors of our time. I am overjoyed not only because she will attend the IIFAs this year but we are also delighted that she will share her film Liv and Ingmar with our film fraternity, a film that is so close to her heart.”
The film is an affectionate yet truthful account of the 42 years and 12 films long association between Liv and filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. Ullmann, who hails from Norway, has contributed in the form of two interviews and readings from her book ‘Changing’.
“The film is not made by me but by a young and very creative filmmaker from India – Dheeraj Akolkar. He allowed even me to see many of the most important times of my life in a new and thought evoking way! It somehow changed some of my own memories. It gives me immense pride to be a part of the IIFA celebrations with this film. And I am looking forward to come to Singapore on this occasion,”observed Ullmann.
The Videocon IIFA Weekend, presented by Videocon Industries, is organised by Wizcraft International Entertainment.
