In 1985, Sarah Quill worked as the stills photographer on 'A Room with a View', James Ivory's feature film based on E.M. Forster's 1908 comedy of Edwardian morals and manners, filmed in Florence and in Kent. Illustrated with her photographs, this talk will describe the experiences of the cast and crew, the background to the film, and the lasting appeal of Forster's novel.
Views: 530 | Enquiries: 0I have worked between Venice and London for many years to create an extensive photographic archive of Venetian architecture, sculpture and daily life, which is used by publishers and scholars worldwide. My book 'Ruskin's Venice: the Stones Revisited' was published in 2000, followed by a new edition in 2015, which has recently been translated into Italian. During the 1980s, I worked in the British film industry as a stills photographer, working on feature films which included: 'Wagner' (1983); 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' (1984); 'A Room with a View' (1985); 'White Mischief' (1987); and 'The Orchid House' (1989). My photographs have been exhibited in Venice and in the UK. I give regular lectures in the UK and in Italy, principally on Venetian subjects, and am a trustee of the Venice in Peril Fund, the British committee for the preservation of Venice.
