An amateur astronomer discovers a strange new star in the sky that leads him into the heart of a dark conspiracy to control humanity by exploiting its addiction to technology.
SYNOPSIS
CAPIO follows a solitary amateur astronomer whose fascination with the cosmos becomes an obsession after he spots an uncharted star. His discovery draws him into a web of manipulation and control, where technology and perception merge into something far more sinister.
Blending sci-fi, mystery, and dreamlike realism, CAPIO explores humanity’s growing dependence on digital systems — and the invisible ways our thoughts and desires can be captured.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
As a filmmaker, I feel like it is my duty to confront the challenges that surround us. CAPIO is about how our society’s unconditional love of technology leaves us vulnerable to political and economic manipulation and loss of privacy and freedom.
The explosive growth of the online world has changed not just our lifestyle, but also the way we relate to each other and perceive the world around us. My film offers a vision of a near-future world in which our digital dependency threatens to make us all less human.
Once technology has insinuated itself into our lives without restrictions or oversight, it can become nearly impossible to tear ourselves free again. By relying too heavily on algorithms and technology, humans risk losing their ability to connect and empathize with each other, and to keep in close touch with their own dreams, intuition, and spiritual center.
