    An interactive educational resource based on the multimedia archive of filmmaker Sally Potter. At the heart of the resource is a Visual Browser which allows the user to view individual key frames taken from every shot in the film Orlando and link them to other archival assets such as script pages, call sheets, continuity reports etc. Each key frame also links to the clip from which it is taken so that users can view each individual shot from the film. The site is clearly laid out so that users can trace each stage of the film’s history from development, (scriptwriting, storyboard, design) through pre-production, production, post-production, the finished film and distribution. Additional resources called pathways have been created by the site’s users featuring research notes, image blogs, and annotations linked to the assets they have used for their personal research projects. A video presentation in the FAQ section explains the origins of the project. The videos are hosted on blip.tv and require the latest Flash plug-in to view.

    Subtitled "The World’s First Staging of Ibsen on the Internet", this is a quirky and visually striking site which offers an idiosyncratic introduction to the work of the Norwegian playwright. Beginning with the original footage of Ibsen’s funeral in 1906, followed by a reconstruction of his final words, the spirit of Ibsen then takes leave from his death-bed and guides the viewer on a virtual tour of Oslo, punctuated by scenes from the plays, staged especially for this resource. Some of the monologues, in particular, are powerfully recreated. Navigation can be frustrating, but nonetheless this is an interesting resource.
