at the National Media Museum, Bradford
To introduce a screening of the 1943 film version of Jane Eyre, Samira Ahmed - writer and broadcaster and presenter of Radio 4's Front Row - leads a panel discussion exploring the many facets of the Brontë phenomenon from literary inspiration to tourism, marketing and fan fiction. Samira is joined by author Mick Jackson whose latest novel Yuki Chan in Brontë Country follows a young Japanese woman retracing her mother's footsteps around Haworth; Dr Amber Regis, lecturer in 19th-century literature at the University of Sheffield; and Lauren Livesey of the Brontë Parsonage Museum.
Directed by Robert Stevenson and starring Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles as Rochester, the film (black and white) will be presented in 35mm.
