Project Detail

Unwelcome

Synopsis

Four friends travel abroad to renovate a remote house. Upon their outward journey they make friends with a fellow traveller and his timid girlfriend only to find them turning up at the house, uninvited!
 
All goes well at first as they enjoy the Continental sun until a drunken evening conversation turns bad and they see the true nature of their visitors. Unwilling to leave, events take a turn for the violent as the unwelcome guests generate a sublimely menacing atmosphere as events turn to kidnap and murder.

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.
