Exhibtion in the Museum of Lily Cole's film
Lily Cole, the Brontë Society’s creative partner for 2018, has created a film to mark Emily Brontë’s bicentenary. On display at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, and also at the Foundling Museum, London,
Balls takes as its starting point Heathcliff, the foundling character central to Wuthering Heights, and explores links between the Foundling Hospital story and the much-loved novel by Emily Brontë. To accompany the film, we display objects from the Foundling Museum Collection. In partnership with the Foundling Museum, the film is produced by Fury Films, co-commissioned by Rapid Response Unit and was filmed on location in Liverpool. The script is co-written by Lily Cole and Stacey Gregg.
The film
Balls will be exhibited at the Muesum from 30th July until 3rd December, and is free with admission to the Museum.
