Right. Well, considering that the September Songs movie is not mentioned anywhere else in her bio, my guess is this is just a mistake perhaps.
Actually, I believe it is mentioned in the bio, up above the mention of 'Lost in the Stars':
"Harvey has composed extensive soundtracks for film and television, in 1994, covering ‘The Ballad of the Soldier’s Wife’ for the documentary ‘September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill’"
The documentary does indeed date from 1994 and was apparently never released for sale. The soundtrack was released in 1997. The video of Polly that we're all familiar was taken from the movie.
Yes, September Songs was the name of that documentary/musical/concert. I had to look it up to remind myself of a few things.
Elvis Costello performed the song, Lost in the Stars.
It was released but I doubt very many vhs copies were produced, i.e., limited run, etc. Never made it to DVD I don't think, but not positive on that.
I was able to order a vhs copy for viewing from another library many years ago, loaned to my local library. I have a dvd-r copy stashed away somewhere.
I now recall one performance I thought to be particularly compelling. It was another female performance. I think it was the one by Mary Margaret O'Hara. Something about her demeanor, combined with her singing, really grabbed me at the time and I had no idea who she was.
