Webdesk: The British filmmaker Sally Potter took a big step into the music business last month when she recorded her first album.
Potter has now released the project’s first film. In the video, she is dancing while her back is turned to the camera.
The words to the song appear on the screen in big, bright red letters. Robbie Ryan, who was nominated for an Oscar as a photographer, worked with a small group of people from the National Film and Television School UK to make the project.
Potter told Deadline that she made the songs using a method she called “Barefoot film-making.” She said that barefoot filmmaking is a way of making films where you use few tools, spend a small amount of money, take equipment, and work hard to get what you want.
She said, “Black Mascara is the first song that I recorded for my album Pink Bikini.”
Ginger and Rosa (2012) and Orlando (1992) are two films that people remember Potter from. She was also a part of the Feminist Improvising Group, an avant-garde group that toured Europe in the 1970s.
Her first record, Pink Bikini, is a collection of semi-autobiographical songs that will come out on July 14. The album’s music and words were written by Potter herself.
In 1989, Potter also did shows with Lindsay Cooper in the USSR and East Berlin.
