A Different Look at Literary Life in Cinema
This Sant Jordi, we invite you to explore a selection of films that offer a unique perspective on the lives of writers, both real and fictional. Cinema has exceptionally captured the art of letters and the printed word, offering a variety of films that highlight the richness and complexity of literary life.
Diversity in the Histories Portrayed
Films about writers offer a diversity of narratives, from the lives of real authors to the creation of fictional characters who are passionate about creating stories. This diversity allows viewers to explore the unique emotions and experiences that define the literary life, from the inspiration to the challenges and rewards that come with it.
Real and Fictional Characters: An In-depth Look
Films about writers can be divided into two main categories: those that portray real characters and those that bring fictional characters to life. Both the lives of the real writers and the fictional characters offer a wealth of emotions and experiences that captivate viewers. This duality provides a deep look at the complexity of creativity and the literary life.
Exploring Literary Lives in the Library
At the Library, we have selected a range of films that offer a unique insight into the life and creative process of renowned authors such as Beatrix Potter, Emily Dickinson and C.S. Lewis, as well as the adventures of fictional characters such as Bridget Jones and Jack Torrance. This collection offers a unique opportunity to explore the exciting lives that have left an indelible mark on literary history.
