Saraband was produced by SVT/Fiction in association with Svensk Filmindustri, ZDF, Arte, NRK, RAI and YLE, and Sony Pictures Classics bought the north American and Australian rights to this eagerly awaited title two months ago. Bergman's film was made for television but it will also be distributed theatrically in the UK by Metro Tartan, Greece by Rosebud, Argentina by Cine3 and Brazil by Art Films.
The Swedish company’s slate also includes Market screenings of Colin Nutley’s Paradise and Norwegian Unni Straume’s Music for Weddings and Funerals.
