The Colour Room is a biographical drama film that revolves around the life and career of Clarice Cliff, a ceramic artist who made a significant impact on the Staffordshire pottery industry in the 1920s and 1930s. The film is set in Stoke-on-Trent, England, where Cliff started as an apprentice in the local potteries and quickly rose to become a notable designer.
The film depicts the challenges and discrimination that Cliff faced as a working-class woman in a male-dominated industry, and how she defied the norms of her time by creating bold and innovative designs that earned her international recognition. The title of the film is derived from the fact that Cliff was given a small room, known as the "colour room," where she could experiment with new colours and designs.
The Colour Room stars Phoebe Dynevor as Clarice Cliff, and the cast also includes Matthew Goode, David Morrissey, and Darci Shaw. The film is directed by Claire McCarthy and written by Claire Peate, and is said to offer a fresh perspective on the life of a pioneering artist whose legacy endures to this day. The release date of The Colour Room is yet to be announced.
