The new industry trailer for the forthcoming documentary film from Mono Media Films and Channel X, BOTY – The life and times of a forgotten artist (working title), was shown last night as part of the sold out Gazelli Talk: Pauline Boty From Canvas to Screen.
The evening included previews of documentaries showcasing Boty’s dynamic career in both art and acting alongside a panel talk with Cat Mayne (AD / Associate Producer), Lee Cogswell (Director), Libby Horner (Art Historian/Filmmaker), Marc Kristal (Author), Charles Mapleston (Filmmaker), and Vinny Rawding (Writer/Filmmaker) and was moderated by Travis Elborough (Author).
Mono Media / Chanel X, who have previously produced documentary films on Peter Blake, The Style Council, Tubby Hayes and more, have spent the last five years piecing together the story of Pauline Boty’s life and times to bring the first ever film on this Pop Art Pioneer to life on the big screen. Key figures interviewed for the film include Natalie Gibson, Celia Birtwell, Derek Boshier, Bridget Boty, Sir Peter Blake, Geoffrey Reeve and Sue Tate among many others.
