welcome

Welcome to SarahPolley.org, a fansite devoted to actress/writer/director/activist Sarah Polley. She's a two-time Gemini and Genie winner, who from 'Road to Avonlea', 'The Sweet Hereafter' (her breakthrough role), 'Go', 'Dawn of the Dead', to 'My Life Without Me' has captivated many admirors. Ms. Polley could recently be seen in 'Don't Come Knocking', 'The Secret Life of Words' and 'Beowulf & Grendel'. Her feature film directorial debut, 'Away from Her', hit theatres in May 2007 to much acclaim, and is available on DVD now. Next up for Sarah are the feature films 'Mr. Nobody' and 'Splice' (currently making the film festival rounds), and an as-yet-untitled film about 17th century Queen of Sweden, Kristina (to be released early 2011).

Sarah supports new book by Newfoundland native
Categories: General

Thanks Kevin Kelly for the info:

Sarah Polley is speaking out in support of a new book from a Newfoundland native.

Roots of Empathy: Changing The World Child By Child, written by Mary Gordon, is a classroom program that encompasses a new approach that fosters emotional literacy in children in order to build more respectful and caring relationships, to reduce levels of bullying and aggression, and to pass on a legacy of empathy to future generations.

Sarah will be attending the Toronto book launch of Ms. Gordon’s book, at Indigo Books, Manulife location. Sept. 27.

This is what Sarah said about the program.

“I had the great privilege of experiencing first hand Mary Gordon’s method of communicating with and engendering empathy and emotional literacy in children. There is nothing in the world I feel more grateful for. I believe it is the main reason why I became an artist and social activist.”

The book is available from Thomas Allen Publishers for $29.95

It is now also scheduled to screen at the Calgary International Film Festival. It will be the closing night Gala film on October 2. No word on cast members expected to attend the screening.
