DEADBEAT

@deadbeatboris latest project ‘The Land Remains’ is in official competition at @offbeatfilm film festival. ✨

‘The Land Remains’ is a single-channel video installation that places Britain’s renewed interest in folklore and ritual in dialogue with the Bibby Stockholm asylum barge, exploring how land, migration, and belonging shape national identity today.

Boris spent a year filming pre-christian ceremonies and traditions across the country. Pagan practices, aligned with the Gaelic calendar wheel, structured around solstices, equinoxes, and seasonal thresholds.

The film features many prominent voices in the folk community, including singer and song collector @samleesong and alchemist @pulvers.apothecary .

You can book tickets to the screening in the bio. It is part of the programmed called OFFBEAT FOLK FILM FESTIVAL: LOOKING IN’, about wider and more diverse voices in folk.

These films document the people whose role in the story of what it is to be British is often overlooked. These joyful, thoughtful and important films show the outsize contribution made to our culture and our identity by minority voices.
