The experimental student film ’The Befuddled Box of Betty Buttifint’ examines the fractured memory of Betty, an elderly woman whose confused mind provides the framework for a journey through the vivid landscape of her past as she struggles to make sense of the symbolic stages of her life.
Blurring the line between reality and memory, featuring ensemble performance, dance and song, the film seeks to explore the emotional fabric of which we are made. 'Befuddled' is ultimately a poetic reflection of the life, loves and losses in one woman’s fading world.
