Description
Step into a cinematic mystery and uncover the story behind the first-ever screen adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. Though no prints of the 1920 silent film are known to survive, fragments remain through photographs, newspaper cuttings and a single surviving screenplay.
Drawing on these rare materials, researcher and writer Irfan Shah pieces together how the lost film may have looked and how Brontë’s dark and passionate novel was brought to the screen over a century ago.
Part literary history, part detective story, this illustrated talk is perfect for cinephiles, Brontë enthusiasts and lovers of forgotten cinema alike.
