On line

"Here's something different: Josephine Halbert has created a cute 20s-style alter-ego who longs for dead men....She writes each a desirous note as she wistfully lingers around their photograph, framed appropriately for their era....It makes a romantic Xmas present..." Herbert Wright, le cool (online listings magazine)

"'Time Travel Boyfriends': great title, and a pretty cool exhibition too....Touching and silly: brilliant." Tom Jeffreys, Spoonfed (London events guide)

Film wins Cannes Award A Haltwhistle film artist has been awarded a prize for her work at the world famous Cannes film festival.

In print

"WFTV Member Wins Prize in Cannes...
We are VERY proud to report that WFTV member, Josephine Halbert, won the Prix RADi at the Short Corner in Cannes, for her film Time Travel Boyfriends, which is awarded by the Agence du Court Métrage in partnership with the Short Film Corner. It is a RADi distribution and broadcasting support prize which is given to just one international film in the Short Film Corner at festival.

"The film will be included in short film programmes which will be screened before features in French cinemas.

"We also hope to screen the short, and talk to Josephine about her time in Cannes, at a WFTV Show Us Your Shorts session soon, so watch this space...Well done Josephine!" Women in Film and Television

"Halbert is part of a strong current in recent art – Niki de Saint Phalle, Tracey Emin and Lucy Gunning are among those who have mined their intimate girlhood histories."
Alicia Foster, art historian and author 'Tate Women Artists'
