LISTENING TO SALLY POTTER'S ALBUM

Sally has been composing music for her films since the Oscar-nominated ORLANDO. Her film music albums have been released by major labels, including Sony Classical and Deutsche Grammaphon. In 2023, Sally released PINK BIKINI, her debut album as a singer-songwriter, followed by her second album, ANATOMY, in 2025.

We will listen to this album in the company of the artist on November 13 at 7:45 p.m. in Room 2 at the Muza Cinema.

Free tickets are required for the event and can be picked up at the Muza Cinema box office from November 12 with a ticket to any other event in the British Film Festival program.

“Masterful,” wrote All Music about the album. “Wonderful,” summed up The Times. “Powerful,” called Clash.

ANATOMY is a sequence of songs that charts the passionate love, destructive human behaviours, spiritual longings, physical dependencies and rampant exploitation that make up our turbulent love affair with the planet we inhabit.

Whilst most of us feel deeply attached to those we are closest to, whether family, friends or lovers, there is often a disconnect with the land – especially if we live in cities – and with places and people far away. The causal chain, the consequences of our actions, seems remote.

ANATOMY makes the links between the individual human body, our collective body (our species), and the body of the Earth, with songs of solace and protest, creating a space in which to contemplate and feel the unthinkable.
