Silent Cry

Synopsis

It is a time of great happiness for Rachel, holding her new-born son in her arms. But her joy turns to devastation when she is woken the following morning to be told that her baby had died in the night.

At home, comforted by friends and family, Rachel cannot accept that the beautiful, perfect child she had held in her arms hours earlier could be gone for good. Convinced that her baby has actually been stolen Rachel goes to the hospital to find the truth where she encounters a kindly hospital porter who believes her story and agrees to help. Together they begin a terrifying journey into the seedy red-light district of London searching for a prostitute who seems to hold the key to the whereabouts of Rachel's baby and a series of secrets more frightening than they could ever imagine.

Director: Julian Richards

The Last Horror Movie The Last Horror Movie

Director: Julian Richards

Year: 2003

The fine line between fiction and reality becomes blurred when a horror video rental is used by a serial killer to morally justify his crimes to the world. What starts off as a conventional teen slasher, transforms into a stark and disturbing journey through the mind of Max Parry, a mild mannered wedding photographer, with a taste for human flesh.

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.
