Introduction How can we link WBY to film? What relationship, if any, between life writing (auto/biography) and film? How, after his death, was film used to explore his life and work ?

IFI Yeats Remembered, June 2015 ©2016 Lance Pettitt

WBY life as a ‘screenplay’ IFI series “Images from a past life” (PR May) June A Vision: The Life of Yeats (Gilsenan, 2015, 65mins) “In so many ways Yeats dreamt up his own life. He fashioned his own majestic screenplay and we are – endlessly – his beneficiaries” (Gilsenan) ©2016 Lance Pettitt

Genius…“Crisis joined” “I know now that revelation is from the self, but from that age-long memoried self [….] and that genius is a crisis that joins that buried self for certain moments to our trivial daily mind (YEATS Autobiographies, 1980 [1955]: 272) “I have spent all of my life in clearing out of poetry every phrase written for the eye, and bringing all back to syntax that is for the ear alone” (YEATS, ‘A General Introduction for My Work’, 1937) ©2016 Lance Pettitt
