Film composer Laura Rossi is touring her original score to the BFI silent 1915 film Jane Shore, live with her ensemble Orchestra Celeste.

Jane Shore was the first British epic, and one that rivalled the best productions coming out of Hollywood at the time. A cast of thousands is used to great effect by Will Barker (founder of Ealing Studios) in his ambitious version of the much-told story of Jane Shore – one of the many mistresses of King Edward IV who described her as one of “the merriest, the wiliest, and the holiest harlots” in his realm!

This BFI classic Ealing film is described as the British answer to ‘Birth of a Nation.’ The BFI has made a stunning new print of the tinted version (recently discovered in their archives) for it's Centenary.
