Charlotte Sally Potter, OBE (born 19 September 1949) is an English film director and screenwriter.
Potter was born and raised in London. Her mother was a music teacher and her father was an interior designer and a poet. Her younger brother Nic became the bassist for the rock group Van der Graaf Generator. When asked about her background, which influenced her work as a filmmaker, she responds, "I came from an atheist background and an anarchist background, which meant that I grew up in an environment that was full of questions, where nothing could be taken for granted."
Potter began making amateur films, at age 14, with an 8mm camera given to her by an uncle. She eventually dropped out of school at age 16 to pursue filmmaking. From 1968–1970 she worked as a kitchen worker and a picture researcher for BBC in order to support herself and her work. She had joined the London Film-Makers' Co-op and began making experimental short films, including Jerk (1969) and Play (1970). She later trained as a dancer and choreographer at the London School of Contemporary Dance. She made both film and dance pieces, including Combines (1972), before founding Limited Dance Company with Jacky Lansley.
Bien que linéaire et assez exhaustive dans les séquences, j'ai essayé de ne pas trop trahir l'intrigue en me basant plutôt sur des plans esthétiques (c'est pas dur...ils le sont tous dans ce film!). J'espère que cela incitera des personnes à aller le découvrir si ce n'est pas déjà fait, et/ou à acheter la superbe B.O... ou/et à lire du Virginia Woolf (?!) Les 5 morceaux : 1. In the garden 2. Pavanne 3.The King's Tulips 4.The Maze 5. Coming (Jimmy Somerville) (Tant pis pour les bugs que j'ai eu la flemme de reprendre)

Though short lived (they were only active for four years), The Spetses Players left their mark on the cultural physiognomy of Spetses island, their legacy a paradigm of resistance and intervention through creative activity. In AGORA, the issues originally foregrounded by The Spetses Players re-emerge in many ways: Papaconstantinou presents archival material documenting production of the plays, invites famous director Sally Potter to join her in a discussion/performance, and organizes an event with former members of the Players.
Read your free e-book: http://copydl.space/mebk/50/en/B00AKN0ZAM/book This survey of Sally Potters work documents and explores her cinematic development from the feminist reworking of Puccinis opera La Bohème in Thriller to the provocative contemplation of romantic relationships after 9/11 in Yes. Catherine Fowler traces a clear trajectory of developing themes and preoccupations and shows how Potter uses song, dance, performance, and poetry to expand our experience of cinema beyond the audiovisual. At the heart of Potters work we find a concern with the ways in which narrative has circumscribed the actions of women and their ability to act, speak, look, desire, and think for themselves. Her first two films, Thriller and The Gold Diggers, largely deconstruct found stories, clichés, and imag...

Words and music by Greg Hough
You remember Sally, used to be so happy
Walkin' down that street with a smile upon her face
Never had a worry, she never had a care
And when she came to see me she would brighten up my face
Sally was that kind of girl, sure would like to know
And everywhere that Sally went the lamb was sure to go
Somebody said they saw her on the other side of town
Said she was smokin' weed and drinkin', probably foolin' 'round
That's too bad about Sally because she was so nice
The next time that I see that girl, I'll give her my advice
Why would she want to run away from God and all His love
And go back in that world and live so hard and rough
You know that I don't feel too bad, Sally moved away
'Cause everytime I'd look at her she set my mind astray
Now Sally was that kind of girl, I wish that she was mine
Just to know that she was there, even that was fine
There's just one thing that I don't understand
And that's the part that's the part that's rough
Why would she want to run away from God and all His love
Repeat twice
