Sally Potter’s leads her own series of occasional masterclasses. The last one, ‘Where have all the auteurs gone?’ took place in London in October 2006 to resounding success, with participants joining us from countries including Turkey, Estonia, France and the US. This group continues networking in a private Masterclass Myspace group.
