On December 2, a retrospective of Sally Potter’s work including a digitally remastered print of Orlando starring Tilda Swinton will kick off at the BFI Southbank in London. It is the first career retrospective of a British female filmmaker. (At least we have finally made it to a day when a woman has enough movies under her belt to have a career retrospective.) The retrospective lasts all month until December 28.
If you are in London and want to attend, you can get details here.
But, for the rest of the world, the good news is that after the screening, both Potter and Swinton will participate in a live webchat following the premiere in London on December 2 and take questions from around the world. You can participate and submit questions here.
Potter is also launching a new archive of production materials for research purposes. Details here.

I loved Orlando. It’s a wonderful film. I’m happy Sally Potter is getting some well deserved recognition.
