Antenna is an arthouse science fiction short film about a mutated young woman who struggles with her power as a broadband receiver.Sio was born with anomalous physiognomy. With the extra organ on her head, she can ‘hear’ data from the signals emitted from phones, satellites, radio.Is her mutation the start of a new evolutionary chain of humans, or is her existence too threatening to the powers of technological commerce for her to be allowed to survive?
Antenna will structurally be a collage of 16mm / direct animation / analog tape / 3d scans, accompanied by an original score of electronica inspired by early synth production.
Exploring themes of dysphoria, dystopia, the rise in surveillance and its physiological effects, Antenna is a story for the next generation struggling to find physical autonomy as technology becomes interwoven into the body.
This project is operating on a favor-economy microbudget, and any support goes towards production costs, film processing, and fairly compensating our crew.
