This evening's viewing: Queen Tilda Swinton in Orlando, adapted from the Virginia Woolf novel.
I think this was my introduction to Sally Potter's work, coming out when I was a student & the Filmhouse was broadening my #film lore (it still is).

Had she lived, #LindsayCooper would have turned 75 yesterday. She was my favourite #HenryCow member, both in terms of her distinctive woodwind contributions but also her astounding compositional ideas - see Western Culture, side 2. Still, I reckon her post-Cow work is even better. The beautiful scores she wrote for various #SallyPotter-directed projects stand as some of the best politically-engaged #experimentalmusic of the 80s. RIP.
Feminist Improvising Group by Feminist Improvising Group, released on CT in 1979.
The Feminist Improvising Group (FIG) were a five- to eight-piece international free improvising avant-garde jazz and experimental music ensemble formed in London in 1977 by Scottish vocalist Maggie Nicols and English bassoonist/composer Lindsay Cooper. Their debut performance was at a "Music for Socialism" festival at the Almost Free Theatre in London in October 1977, and they toured Europe several times in the late 1970s and early 1980s. .. - Wikipedia
