Feeling Shifty?
August 21, 2009
Here at Cargo we’re big fans of independent cinema. We’re also fans of all things home-grown. So, in that case, what could be better than Shifty – one of the best independent British films of the decade?

This hard-hitting, intelligent drama made for an amazing £100,000 shows that there’s much more to British film than corsets, Vinnie Jones and Danny ‘F*cking’ Dyer.
To celebrate the release of the DVD we’ve teamed up with Boxfresh to offer you some quite considerable goodies. So, for your chance to win a full Boxfresh outfit, as well as a whole host of Shifty merchandise, just post a comment below in response to the following question:
What’s your favourite British film? (and summarise the plot in ten words)
The best 5 answers will receive a copy of the DVD, and one of these will receive a full Boxfresh outfit (trainers and all) plus a signed copy of the DVD and the poster.
Competition CLOSED.
Good luck!
