Lilford Hall: A short experimental art video shot inside a decaying mansion, where Penny intimately chronicles the ‘unraveling’ of the Self from dualistic limitations and the projections of others.

An Exorcism, The Works: An animated film created in 2019 by Slinger and her partner Dhiren Dasu. During the 1970s, as she worked on the content for the hauntingly surreal series of collages in Slinger’s seminal publication An Exorcism (1977), she also wrote a synonymous film script and crafted an expanded version of the publication, which includes additional collage works and text. These materials were never published. As the collages from the series have gained exposure over the years, Slinger sought to further contextualize these visuals within the larger original narrative arc. It was to that end that she decided to make An Exorcism – The Works.
