FILMS:

Don’t Go in the Room – 2025
Once upon a time, there were fevered rumours of a mysterious room that would appear, without explanation, in any house, any building, as if it had always been there. The door was always locked but sometimes, the stories say, there were those who were able to enter. Most were never seen again, those who returned were driven insane by their experiences. In the early 2000s a low budget film was made inspired by this phenomenon. Those involved all vanished without a trace but the film survived, hidden away in internet forums and hard drives across the world. For the first time presented in its entirety is the remaining footage from that film. 17 minutes, sound.
