Boty: I Am the Sixties
The story
Documentary film about pop art sensation Pauline Boty, tracking the artist’s original contribution to British art, her feminism and her unique take on the nascent celebrity culture of the 1960s. Ahead of her time in so many ways, Boty’s story ends with her tragic early death at 28 in 1966 and the subsequent revival of interest in her work in the last decade. Packed full of original photographs and art work, the film calls on an array of family, friends, art critics and famous fans to lead us through the Boty story. Contributors include pop art titan Sir Peter Blake, comedian and artist Jim Moir, critic Kate Bryan, best friend and print designer Natalie Gibson MBE, pop singers Corinne Drewery and Tanita Tikaram and TV presenter Ronnie Archer Morgan
