THE FILM

Sister, My Sister

Theatre director Nancy Meckler is best known for her work with Shared Experience, notably The Mill on the Floss. Her debut feature is an arresting mood piece starring Jodhi May, Joely Richardson and Julie Walters which pulled tremendous notices in the USA but remains unreviewed by several British papers. Nothing to do with its lesbian content, of course.

THE GIG

Annie Ross

The legendary jazz vocalist of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross fame had a sensational career boost when Robert Altman cast her as a gravelly chanteuse in Short Cuts. Here, at last, is an opportunity to catch her in the flesh.
