Boxed





Boxed

As a “pure” concept, Britishness has been challenged by the demise of the Empire. In today’s world Britishness is a highly contested concept with Brexit raising further questions about the sense of belonging.


Boxed is a short film that explores the complexities of Hybridity. Hybridity involves multiple elements that have been theorised by scholars that come in different forms and exit on multiple levels of both communal and individual consciousness. In Boxed we see a compelling glimpse of the many layers of Hybridity in today’s world.


A film by Najma Yusufi supported by The David Arnold Fund.
