Description

Foxlowe Films are delighted to announce that we?ve been able to arrange with Sky two special screenings of their recently released film the Colour Room. The film follows the journey of a determined, working class woman, Clarice Cliff, as she breaks the glass ceiling and revolutionises the workplace in the 20th century. Clarice Cliff (Phoebe Dynevor) is a vivacious young factory worker in the Potteries of the 1920s. Bursting at the seams with ideas for colours and shapes, Clarice takes more and more dangerous risks - but she manages to stay one step ahead of the workhouse and impress the eccentric factory owner Colley Shorter (Matthew Goode) on the way with her talent and innovation. With a strong cast and engaging storyline about a local hero, this film is bound to appeal. The added attraction for Moorlands? audiences is that some of the footage was shot in our very own Foxlowe Arts Centre.

?Old duffers in the industry mansplain why women won?t buy her cheap and cheerful pottery (?you?ll find the modern woman has a more refined taste?). But Clarice knows exactly what women want (her Bizarre collection eventually sold more than 8.5m pieces). The film catches the excitement of this moment for Clarice, and Dynevor?s performance is wonderful.? The Guardian

2021; Dir. Claire McCarthy; 108 mins.
