Nina Conti: Her Master's Voice (2012)

In the profoundly distinctive world of puppetry, acclaimed ventriloquist Nina Conti embarks on a poignant journey that intertwines grief, reverence, and self-discovery. Carrying the bereaved puppets of her mentor and one-time lover, the legendary Ken Campbell, she sets off on a pilgrimage to 'Venthaven', the hallowed haven for puppets of deceased ventriloquists. Throughout her journey, she develops a deep understanding of her inanimate yet soulful companions, made of latex and wood, each bearing their own story. As the journey unfolds, so does Nina, as she disassembles her own persona and the memories of her lost love, crafting an intimate docu-mocumentary requiem. Ken Campbell, a respected maverick of British Theatre, was renowned for reviving forgotten artforms with eccentric brilliance. Nina, his most gifted student in ventriloquism, is credited with breathing new life into this timeless art form. This film is a unique masterpiece, unclassifiable in genre and style, presenting ventriloquism in an unseen light. It pulls back the curtain on a world where the silence is filled with voices, and life is breathed into the inanimate, revealing a poignant narrative on loss, love, and artistic legacy.
