A Quiet Night In
Director: Peter Domankiewicz
Year: 2003
A disturbing study of male identity. Steve's just been made redundant and waits at home for his late-working partner to return. As the drinks mount up, he starts to unravel, moving freely between past, present and fantasy, as the old demons come out to play.
Tea and Sangria
Director: Peter Domankiewicz
Year: 2014
Culture-clash comedy. David moves to Madrid from London to be with his Spanish girlfriend – but loses her. Now he has to find out what life in this new country is really like and discovers that to love a Spanish woman, you first have to learn to love Spain. And that can get complicated.
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.
