BBC Radio 4 - The Film Programme, Sally Potter

Writer-director Sally Potter discusses her new feature film, The Roads Not Taken. Presented by Antonia Quirke.

With Antonia Quirke.

Writer/director Sally Potter discusses her new feature film The Roads Not Taken and why she dedicated it to her late brother Nic. She describes her experience of the coronavirus and why it became both a sad and productive time for her.

Antonia visits the community cinema The Phoenix in Oban, as they prepare to open their doors for the first time in 5 months. Everything is ready for the big day, except for one thing: the films themselves. They are being sent by courier to the west coast of Scotland and with 24 hours to go, they still haven't arrived.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
