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.
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.
SYNOPSIS
Capio is both a science-fiction and social commentary, about a mysterious entity which manipulates with people and their hunger for new technology to enslave a city that is more than willing to submit. This feature film examines the impact of the unprecedented infiltration of AI technology into our daily lives and the extent to which it may be undermining our capacity to perceive and interact with the world and the people around us. It is the stark human isolation, induced by technology and its destructive consequences, that drives the main current of the feature film Capio.
