Abstract

Sally Potter, although best known for her cinematic feature films from 'The Gold Diggers' (1983) to 'Yes' (2004), has also made television programmes and directed (and performed in) multi-media stage performances including, most recently, 'Carmen' at the ENO. The very materiality of the screen, whether back or forward projected, in the cinema, theatre or domestic space has long been a preoccupation. The present paper considers her latest finished venture, 'Rage' (2009), a filmed narrative released on a variety of platforms, including the cinematic, DVD, the internet – but premiered free on mobile phones. This one text, in other words, seems ambitiously intended for "the screen" whether large or small. Rather than consider the material or aesthetic aspects of what such a text must comprise – Potter's "naked cinema" which here consists in an interwoven series of to-camera interviews with the characters – this paper considers the political, ethical and historical affiliations of the economics behind the multiplatform screen release.
