Each film will be accompanied by an expert introduction illuminating how the filmmaker has responded to Conrad’s source material. These screenings will run from 1–11 November, to coincide with a special event at the British Library on 7 November celebrating the publication of The Resonance of Joseph Conrad in Contemporary Culture, edited by Professor Agnieszka Adamowicz-Pośpiech.
Joseph Conrad and Cinema
November 1 – November 11
As the critic F. R. Leavis put it, Joseph Conrad’s stories ‘invite the cinematographer’. In partnership with the Polish Cultural Institute, Ciné Lumière is screening a selection of the finest screen adaptations of Conrad’s work, showcasing the wide range of cinematic visions he has inspired.
