The Story of Adele H: Celebrate 50 Guernsey Years
September 6, 2025: CELEBRATE 50 YEARS OF ADELE H WITH US
Venue: Princess Royal Centre for the Performing Arts, Guernsey
Join us in commemorating this landmark film, shot almost entirely in Guernsey. Discover more about its enigmatic subject and her tragic life, her relationship with her father, celebrated writer and campaigner, Victor Hugo, and hear why and how director François Truffaut decided to make such a film. Learn how he came to make Guernsey successfully stand in for Halifax, Nova Scotia, using a bevy of local actors in the process. Hear recollections and stories about the filming from the people who witnessed it.
Tickets for the afternoon talks and discussion are £25 and are available from Guernsey Tickets. Tickets are also available there for the free showing of the film that follows.
