OTLEY Courthouse is to screen the film Emily - Frances O'Connor's wild and windswept biopic of Emily Brontë.

The screening, on Friday, March 10 at 7pm, will be followed by a Q&A session with Sassy Holmes, programme officer of the Brontë Society and Brontë Parsonage Museum.

A Courthouse spokesperson said: "We're delighted to be screening this haunting and mysterious account of Yorkshire's greatest and most enigmatic writer.

"It is the story of a transformative, exhilarating, and uplifting journey from rebel and misfit to womanhood. She was one of the world's most famous and enigmatic writers who tragically died of tuberculosis at the young age of 30. Starring Sex Education's Emma Mackey, O'Connor's directorial debut is a standout film that brings the enduring legacy of the Brontës to a new audience.

"Sassy Holmes, programme officer of the Brontë Society and Brontë Parsonage Museum, will be joining us for the evening. Having worked closely with the director and Warner Bros Studios, Sassy will be able to tell us all about the film's production, its historical accuracy and will be answering the audience's questions about Yorkshire's most mysterious writer.

"This will be a truly unforgettable cinematic event."
