Screening of
Chris Miles'
film Lord Elgin and Some Stones of No Value in Stephen
Lawrence Building, Room 101, Maritime Campus, University of Greenwich,
SE10 9LS.
The film tells the story of the
acquisition of some sculptures in 1802 by Lord Elgin, the then British
Ambassador in Constantinople. Shot on location in Greece and using
contemporary reports, engravings and letters, the programme also shows the
actors themselves discussing the dramatised scenes and historical events
they depict. The actors argue both for and against Lord Elgin's activities.
The cast includes Nigel Havers playing Lord Elgin and in one of his
first films, Hugh Grant playing William Hamilton.
The Director, Christopher Miles,
will be available for comments and questions after the screening. Entry by
invitation: Please print
