An exhibition of musical treasures from some of the greatest films ever made can be seen at Bridport Arts Centre.

Items related to music from films including West Side Story, The Pink Panther and Breakfast at Tiffany’s are on show as part of Bridport’s From Page to Screen Festival

A rare original programme from the film King Kong also forms part of the exhibition, which is in the Allsop Gallery of the town’s arts centre.

Artefacts have been loaned from the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum at the University of Exeter and there are displays on sheet music and soundtrack albums, as well as items related to the films being shown in the festival this year, which has the theme of music and film.

From Page to Screen, which shows both new releases and timeless classics, and is this year curated by radio DJ Edith Bowman, begins on April 27.

The exhibition features items from the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum collections on the classics being shown at the festival, including King Kong, On the Waterfront, sheet music, and postcards from the original film of West Side Story, Shaft, Fellini’s Amarcord, Hitchcock’s The Lodger and Indian classic Pather Panchali

Also on show is memorabilia produced for Disney’s Pinocchio including the original 78rpm albums, and branded Christmas lights from the 1940s release.

There are also displays of both sheet music and records from the museum’s collections. Films featured include The Jazz Singer, The Piano, The Third Man, The Wizard of Oz, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Cabaret, Working Girl, Mad Max, The Graduate and Charlie Chaplin tunes from over a century ago.

The exhibition is now open at the Allsopp Gallery at Bridport Arts Centre and will be free to the public until the end of the festival in early May.

The Bill Douglas Cinema Museum’s own galleries will be free and open to all through the Easter holidays, where you can explore other parts of its amazing collections on the history of the moving image.
