The Extraordinary Miss Flower
T
he discovery of a suitcase of letters sent to Geraldine Flower in the 60s and 70s inspired singer Emilíana Torrini to return to the studio. Part psychedelic trip, part nostalgic love letter, and wholly unique, The Extraordinary Miss Flower reveals Flower’s story through a series of performances by Emilíana and her band, and readings of the letters by well-known artists such as Richard Ayoade, Siggi Baldursson, Nick Cave, Alice Lowe and Mark Monero.
It's ultimately a heartfelt love letter to the enduring power of creativity and friendship.
As well as performing ten songs, Emilíana Torrini acts for the first time, alongside Caroline Catz (Delia Derbyshire: The Myths and Legendary Tapes) as ‘Miss Flower’.
After the screening: Q&A with directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard.
