Yes / Ex Memoria is a short film - just 15 minutes long - which focuses on the experience of Eva, a woman with dementia living in a nursing home. The film - which is the result of a collaboration between Bradford Dementia Group (BDG), writer/director Josh Appignanesi, and producer Mia Bays - attempts to show how life might be experienced from Eva's point of view, in her 'version of reality'. In this article I will outline the to the making of Ex Memoria, explain how the film is being used on the Dementia Studies courses provided by BDG, and - without giving away too much of the story for people who haven't yet seen the film - summarise some of the responses to it.
