Skeletons screening and Q&A with Lead Actors Hosted by Cineformation

6.10pm Thursday 19th August 2010
Cinema 3
Watershed Media Centre

Winner of Best New British Film at the Edinburgh Film Festival, this is a wonderfully surreal black comedy about Davis and Bennett, a pair of mismatched travelling ‘salesmen’ who make a living out of cleaning skeletons from closets. They travel across Britain, performing the ‘Procedure’ whereby hidden secrets and lies are exposed. Assigned to a job by their boss, the pair find themselves up against their biggest challenge – you can’t always get away from your own skeletons. Delightfully bonkers!

Presented as part of New British Cinema Quarterly: a touring programme showcasing British filmmakers with distinctive and original films selected from the UK’s major film festivals.

Plus Q&A with the lead actors Ed Gaughan, Tuppence Middleton and director Nick Whitfield.

Chaired by Bristol-based director Mark Kidel, one of the world’s leading makers of arts and music documentaries.

4* – We might have just found our Charlie Kaufman… Eccentric, strangely heartfelt and very funny. Guardian

Whitfield’s feature debut might just be the finest cult film to have come from Britain since Withnail and I. Film4

Sharply written, darkly funny, well cast and strikingly photographed… a work of genuine originality and inspiration. The Times
