About Time Travel Boyfriends...
Time Travel Boyfriends is a book, award winning short film and art concept by Josephine Halbert. Its theme is about love, loss, memory and fantasy and tells the story of a woman who ‘remembers’ her love affairs through time with a diverse collection of well-known men from history including Orson Welles, Jim Morrison, sportsman Charles B Fry, engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Marlon Brando.
Before being developed for film, the idea was explored as a series of artworks, a book, spoken word and music collaboration with composer Amy Odell and was exhibited at galleries and showcases in London and across the UK including solo shows at London galleries Tenderpixel and Beverley Knowles Fine Art.
The ten minute film, completed in 2009, was shot on location in London and Kent in the UK and was visually devised as a series of historical tableaux in which one actor, Tim Seyfert, played all eight Boyfriend roles. It was shot ‘silent’ on a 35mm vintage camera owned by the film’s Director of Photography, Nick Gordon Smith, to accompany an existing soundtrack of the director’s narration and Amy Odell’s music.
Time Travel Boyfriends premiered at the 2009 Uppsala Film Festival and was a British Council supported film. It won the PRIX Radi at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, which is given to one international short film by the Agence de Court in partnership with the Short Film Corner, for theatrical distribution in France, and was selected to compete for the European Melies d’Argent short film competition at the Espoo International Fantasy Film Festival later that year.
The wonderful original music that was composed for the project by Amy Odell is now available on Apple iTunes/Apple Music! You can download the soundtrack Time Travel Boyfriends on Apple iTunes / Apple Music here:

The soundtrack album also includes a bonus track, The Inspiration - a recording of Josephine Halbert reading the foreword from her book Time Travel Boyfriends published by ZedSaid in 2007
