The story of Ad\u00e8le H. is a historical drama that tells the tale of the daughter of the renowned author of Les Mis\u00e9rables, Victor Hugo, and her unrequited love for a British army lieutenant. This film, released in 1975, has a special connection to Guernsey, where it was partially filmed, and its legacy continues to captivate audiences to this day.<\/p>\n
The film won several international awards and holds the distinction of being the only Oscar-nominated film ever made in Guernsey. According to Dinah Bott, chairwoman of the Victor Hugo Center and Victor Hugo in the Guernsey Society, this achievement underscores the film’s importance and the island’s contribution to its success.<\/p>\n
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the film in September, the Victor Hugo Center and the Victor Hugo in the Guernsey Society are planning a special project. They aim to collect memories from Islanders who worked on the film, either as part of the crew or in other capacities, to create a short film celebrating this milestone. This initiative seeks to go beyond the film’s awards and recorded history, delving into the personal stories and experiences of those who were part of it.<\/p>\n
The project invites anyone with memories of the film’s production to come forward and share their experiences. Whether they were directly involved in the filming, worked behind the scenes, or simply observed the events unfolding, their stories are invaluable. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact the Victor Hugo Center for more information on how to participate in this unique tribute to the film’s enduring legacy.<\/p>\n
By gathering these personal accounts, the Victor Hugo Center and the Victor Hugo in the Guernsey Society hope to create a rich tapestry of memories that not only celebrate the film but also honor the community’s role in its creation. This project serves as a testament to the power of shared experiences and the importance of preserving our collective history for future generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
