My Amulet

Synopsis

Set among the beehives and high heels, fur stoles and Ford Zephyrs of 60's and 70's London suburbia, My Amulet offers a personal take on Anglo-Jewish identity. Combining handheld Super 8 with current digital video footage, the film delivers poet Leah Thorn's spin on assimilation, acculturation and ‘other such aggravation’.

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.
