Jane Eyre (PG)
Dir. Robert Stevenson 1943 USA, 97 mins
Our Festival opens with what is still one of the best Brontë screen adaptations. Directed by Buxton-born Robert Stevenson, with a script co-written by Aldous Huxley and starring Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles (look out for a young Elizabeth Taylor who is not credited). Jane Eyre remains a compelling gothic literary landmark – much, much more than a love story.
This event is supported by Film Hub North West Central proud to be a member of the BFI Film Audience Network
