9 MinsA disoriented patient wakes in pain inside a strange medical clinic. She is told the procedure will be performed without pain relief: endure it now or face worse later. What begins as medical protocol curdles into an oppressively surreal ordeal, narrowing the chance of escape.
Adapted from a short story by Andrew Shillam and drawn from lived experience, Lie Down, Breathe Out channels a backroom, institutional aesthetic into a tightly wound nightmare about bodily autonomy. Gemma Salomon shapes the horror with claustrophobic control, refusing easy catharsis. The only way out is through.

Liability (David Daradan)
Tunnel Vision (Alex Salkicevic & Bryce Kraehenbuehl)
Into the Earth (Lucy Campbell)
7 Minutes to Rice (Manuel Ashman)
