Josh Appignanesi - Director/Writer |
London-based filmmaker Josh Appignanesi visited the BU Centre for Qualitative
Research in November 2006 and presented several of his short films. This was
followed by an open discussion following among the mixed audience of researchers
and students from a number of schools. The screenings included:

Ex Memoria - award winning rising star Natalie Press |
Ex Memoria
Commissioned by the Bradford Dementia Group through the Wellcome Trust's ArtSci
project, Ex Memoria starred Olivier winning actress Sara Kestelman and
award winning rising star Natalie Press (MY SUMMER OF LOVE). Ex Memoria
makes us think afresh about memory, aging, care and dementia, encompassing the
tragedy and the warmth of one woman's unique story. This 15-minute film was
shown at Edinburgh Film Festival 2006.

Zoe Telford and David Tennant, the stars of Josh Appignanesi's 2002 short
Nine And A Half Minutes |
Nine And A Half Minutes
A romantic comedy about two Londoners who meet on a blind date. Too busy to
bother getting to know each other, they fantasize a whole relationship –
meeting, sex, cohabitation and the break up – in only nine-and-a-half minutes.
Award-winning satire on modern sexual mores that twists our expectations of
the genre. The innovative script won funding from the Film Council's Digital
Cinema Fund and is British Council supported.
