HAMNET EXHIBITION: EVEN AS A SHADOW, EVEN AS A DREAM

Discover the ethereal world of visionary filmmaker Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet through an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Zhao’s creative process, and the emotional and artistic rituals that shaped the film.

The exhibition will transport visitors into the storytelling created on set through an impressive showcase of props and set pieces from the film, photography, sketches, drawings and writings.

Curated by Simindokht Dehgani, the exhibition will showcase a collection of original props and set pieces, on-set photography by Agata Grzybowska that capture the film’s stunning locations, from the forests of Stratford-Upon-Avon to the stage of the Globe Theatre, plus artwork and writings from Zhao and actor Jessie Buckley.

Hamnet stars Academy Award®-nominee Jessie Buckley (The Lost Daughter) and Academy Award®-nominee Paul Mescal (All of Us Strangers). The film by Academy Award® winning writer/director Chloé Zhao tells the powerful love story that inspired the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet.

Accompanied by a top-flight supporting cast including Academy Award®-nominee Emily Watson (Hilary and Jackie, Breaking the Waves) and Joe Alwyn (The Brutalist), Hamnet is a nuanced, sensitive and magnificently crafted tale about the complexities of love and the healing power of creativity.

Hamnet is in UK cinemas from January 9th.
