Heidi Slater

Synopsis

'Heidi Slater' a digital suicide-note or a twisted video Manifesto?

I am Heidi Slater (pseudonym) and I present to you my film -'Heidi Slater' which is
MY PERSONAL representation of the tragic events of the 18th of March 2013. I have edited together a collection of footage taken while (I thought) I was shooting a low budget Horror movie, in fact, 'The Director' was shooting something entirely different.

I now take back control of my life by facing my fears and editing this film together.

Heidi Slater.

The Baby Factory is Closed The Baby Factory is Closed

Director: Deepa Mann-Kler

Year: 2026

A 20-minute single-player immersive VR experience that places users inside the body of Zoraan, a British-born Sikh woman navigating menopause amidst climate collapse and the ruins of colonial medicine. You breathe with her. You scream with her. You dance your way out of sedation. Blending real-time visuals, bio-haptic feedback and diasporic sound, this work reframes menopause not as decline but as volatile power; closing ‘The Baby Factory’ to ignite a cultural revolution. Using gesture, voice and biometric feedback, audiences become co-conspirators in a volatile act of embodied rebellion. This is not a metaphor. This is an insurgency.
