Neston Flicks – The Colour Room

The Colour Room (cert. 15) is based on the true story of Clarice Cliff, the woman who defied history and broke every rule with her art deco pottery. An excellent film and story starring Phoebe Dynevor.

It is set in the grey industrial Midlands of the 1920s. Clarice Cliff’s pottery became a trailblazer of the Art Deco movement. At this time women did the menial work in the pottery industry. Clarice, driven by imagination and ambition, fights her way through the prejudice of an industry in recession and economic hardship. She defies expectation and personal circumstances to become a designer of her own unprecedented ‘Bizarre’ range, which saves the factory. She then set up her own pottery and design studio to produce her own distinctive, and still world famous, items.

This is another film produced by Sky that was denied a licence for community cinemas, such as ours, to show. Happily, pressure from the community cinema network has resulted in them now licensing it to us.
