Few English-language writers could be said to have had as intimate a relationship
with the cinema as Graham Greene. Not only were many of his major works made
into some of the cinema’s most enduring classics, but he also wrote film
criticism and frequently mentioned cinema in relation to his own artistic practice.
Film scholar Adrian Wootton, former Director of the London Film Festival and
current chief executive of Film London, will offer a guided tour through the
myriad connections between the art of Graham Greene and the cinema, featuring
clips from some of his best-known film adaptations (The Third Man, The Quiet
American, Brighton Rock) and also some of the lesser-known works based on
his novels and stories.
