Mother's Gut

Overview

Using the human microbiome as the stage for the UK, specifically Yorkshire, we follow a girl as she accidentally ingests herself and travels through her gut. She encounters fearful, apathetic, and aggressive bacteria. The film plays on fears of foreign bodies invading us and our country. It is a child's fantasy of their mother's journey to a new unfamiliar land, made more uncanny and dreamlike with the use of classic special effects and a sci-fi experimental soundtrack.
