Nina Conti&rsquo;s latest feature,<a href="https://quadcinema.com/film/sunlight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Sunlight</a>, which she directed and stars in opposite co-writer Shenoah Allen, opens at the Quad in New York City on June 6. Comedian and ventriloquist Conti has won a British Comedy Award for storming Live at the Apollo, a BBC New Comedy Award, and a Grierson Award, and made a BAFTA-nominated film &ndash; all without moving her lips. She recently completed filming Spinal Tap 2, with Rob Reiner directing, and is currently taking her new live show, Whose Face is it Anyway?, on a world tour. Her television credits include QI, Russell Howard&#8217;s Good News, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled and Christopher Guest&#8217;s HBO series Family Tree and she has made three documentary features, including Clowning Around and Her Master&#8217;s Voice, in which she took the bereaved puppets of her mentor, Ken Campbell, to a puppet graveyard in Kentucky.
