The Luttrell Psalter Film is now being shown daily at The Collection, Lincoln - 11am to 3pm.

The Luttrell Psalter Film is a short film based on the famous images of medieval village life from the 14th c. Luttrell Psalter. The Psalter was made for Sir Geoffrey Luttrell of Irnham in Lincolnshire and the film has been made to be shown at The Collection, Lincoln’s museum.  It will also be available in DVD later in the year.

Our aim has been to on film what the original artist achieved through a keen observation of people and nature, an infinite attention to detail and a sense of humour!

We have attempted to recreate the richness of the mediaeval landscape, including the wild flowers, insects, animals and birds, which would have been so abundant then, and were significant enough in the lives of people of the time to be recorded in detail in the Psalter.

The film includes a wealth of wildlife filming, which has mainly been done on Lincolnshire nature reserves, but where necessary further afield, for example Nick (below) had to travel to the North East to film red squirrels.  We wanted to illustrate how deeply and intimately people's lives were connected to the landscape and the seasons. 

The DVD version of the film will be longer and will include many mini-documentaries some of which can be viewed on the small screen in the exhibition.
