Wuthering Heights Rediscovered celebrates the lost 1920 film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s iconic novel. Using the only know surviving copy of the script, as well as photographs previously unseen by the public, this touring exhibition, in association with Leeds Lit Fest, will help to recreate and reimagine a film whose original prints have been lost to time. The exhibition debuts in one of the UK’s most unusual and smallest museums – situated inside a traditional red telephone box - Warley Phone Box Museum!
Open from 6th - 14th June daily. Then on tour.
Curated by Professor Rob Shail and Irfan Shah, the exhibition and accompanying free, downloadable booklet, will be a collaboration between the Early Cinema Research Group, Leeds Beckett University and the Brontë Parsonage Museum, Haworth. Wuthering Heights Rediscovered will appeal to cinephiles, Brontë devotees and lovers of the Yorkshire countryside.
