Alice y Jack tienen la suerte de vivir en Victoria, la ciudad experimental de la compañía que alberga a los hombres que trabajan para el Proyecto Victoria, de alto secreto, y a sus familias. La vida es perfecta, con todas las necesidades de los residentes cubiertas por la empresa. Todo lo que piden a cambio es un compromiso incondicional con la causa de Victoria. Pero cuando empiezan a aparecer grietas en su idílica vida, exponiendo destellos de algo mucho más siniestro que se esconde bajo la atractiva fachada, Alice no puede evitar cuestionarse qué están haciendo en Victoria y por qué. ¿Cuánto está dispuesta a perder Alice para sacar a la luz lo que realmente ocurre en el paraíso?

A 15-minute short about squatting in London, the film sees Lebon’s signature melding of cut-and-paste graphics and animation meet disarmingly intimate camera work. Told from the perspective of both the squatter and the squatted, it explores unconventional choices and the moral grey areas found in ownership, public and private living, family and community.

Madeline has become an integral part of a prestigious physical theater troupe. When the workshop's ambitious director pushes the teenager to weave her rich interior world and troubled history with her mother into their collective art, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur. The resulting battle between imagination and appropriation rips out of the rehearsal space and through all three women's lives.

Sam, newly a mother, shops at a supermarket with her baby and husband Carlson. She throws a neighborhood shishkabob party in her den. Her family shares a Sunday breakfast. But through her smiles and picturesque tasks, there's a suppression. Sam’s grown something she can no longer contain. As she purges this parasite, we move inside her body and experience this wildness as a feverish dance.The parasite ejects us back into the kitchen of another woman, alone eating breakfast as she looks at a happy couple pictured on the back of her cereal box. It’s Sam and Carlson. What's beneath a picture? A dream within a dream. Horror meets dance, SWALLOWED suggests a complex truth to motherhood and domesticity. (The Criterion Channel)

What happens when five of independent film's most adventurous filmmakers join together to literally adapt each other’s dreams for the screen?

Sarah and Isolde share an interest in the traditional music and dance of the Balkans, but it turns out that shared interests don’t always unite them. Their trip, initially a fun bonding experience, takes a southward turn when Sarah becomes interested in handsome fellow camper Steph. A seemingly innocent romantic overture touches off an abrupt shift in the dynamic between the two girlfriends, steering a previously ecstatic camp outing down a psychological rabbit hole.
