Filming Forster focuses upon the challenges of producing film
adaptations of five of E. M. Forster's novels. Rather than follow
the older comparative approach, which typically damned the film for
not being "faithful" to the novel, this project explores the
interactive relationship between film and novel. That relationship
is implicit in the title "Filming" Forster, rather than "Forster
Filmed," which would suggest a completed process. A film adaptation
forever changes the novel from which it was adapted, just as a
return to the novel changes the viewer's perceptions of the film.
Adapting Forster's novels for the screen was postponed until well
after the author's death in 1970 because the trustees of the
author's estate fulfilled his wish that his work not be filmed.
Following the appearance of David Lean's film A Passage to India in
1984, four other film adaptations were released within seven years.
Perhaps the most important was the Merchant Ivory production of
Maurice, based upon Forster's "gay" novel, published a year after
his death. That film was among the first to approach same-sex
relationships between men in a serious, respectful, and generally
optimistic manner.
