The British Council has supported the production of a film version of Sarah Frankcom’s critically acclaimed stage production of Hamlet, which enjoyed a sell-out run at the Manchester Royal Exchange in the UK in 2014. We will screen this film internationally in 2016 as part of the British Council’s Shakespeare on Film touring collection.
What is the Shakespeare on Film touring collection? In January 2016 the British Film Institute (BFI) launched a major project celebrating Shakespeare on film. The project includes films dating from 1899 right up to the present day, all adapted from and inspired by Shakespeare’s work. They will screen in cinemas internationally and online.
