The Box (1986)

10.25 mins, 35mm
Colour/optical
Animation

A short animated film which attempts to express the feelings of fear and isolation created by the new urban environment as seen through the eyes of an elderly woman. Part of the work of Amber’s Current Affairs Unit, it grew not only out of the group’s concerns with city centre redevelopment and re-housing, but also out of its engagement with a critique of the media and the effects of the sensationalising of urban crime.

Amber’s animation projects have grown out of individual commitments, more akin to the approach to photography than to film. The Box was made by Judy Tomlinson, a member of the collective at the time.
