Luttrell Psalter Film exhibition

MEDIEVAL LIVES ON SHOW

Until 14^th September 2010

The Intriguing world of the Luttrell Psalter

The Luttrell Psalter is a fourteenth century manuscript commissioned by Sir Geoffrey Luttrell, a Lincolnshire landowner and is full of beautifully illuminated images that reveal a wealth of detail about everyday life in medieval Lincolnshire.

Using the Luttrell Psalter film, real and replica medieval artefacts, a ‘turning the page’ kiosk and a facsimile of the document from the British Library, this exhibition explores some of the images from the Luttrell Psalter to discover what the vibrant pictures can tell us about everyday life and the people who lived and worked in medieval Lincolnshire.

Luttrell Psalter Film

WAG Screen plans to upload the Luttrell Psalter film to Facebook (in HD) when the number of fans on Luttrell Psalter Facebook fan page reaches 1,000! So if you want to see the film - spread the word!

 

You can see a review of the film from Michael Stocking (the chap behind the 'Turning the Pages' software from the British Library) at his Turning the Pages - A blog about where emerging technologies meet access and interpretation for libraries and museums: The Luttrell Psalter Film

Thank you for your support!

PS Please do keep buying the DVD as well though (it includes other material such as an interview with Michelle Brown), as all proceeds go towards making a second Luttrell Psalter Film based in the images of Sir Geoffrey, his household and the aristocratic lifestyle: WAG Screen

Filming Victorian dancers waltzing

As part of the film we are making for Gainsborough Old Hall, we have just filmed dancers waltzing on the Victorian dance floor. None of our cast had danced the waltz before and some had never danced before at all, but thanks to Martha Milne's brilliant coaching they were all fantastic. Martha is better known as an amazingly talented quilter and you can find out more about the Victorian waltz scene and Martha's quilting on her blog: Machine Quilter
