Emily at Hebden Bridge with Pre-Movie Talk

 Today, October 23, in Hebden Bridge:

A 21st Century Emily Brontë: Michael Stewart and Claire O’Callaghan in conversation
Hebden Bridge Picture House

October 23, 6.45 PM

Frances O’Connor’s directorial debut, Emily, tells the story of one of the most enigmatic authors in Victorian literature: Emily Brontë. But where does it depart from reality and how closely does it stick to the facts? And does it matter? This pre-screening in-conversation event will discuss O’Connor’s depiction of Emily Brontë in relation to other films and cultural phenomena. We all think we know Emily Brontë, but who was she really? Was she ever in love? And why do we keep returning to tell her story?
