The Silence Between Signals - Trailer

At an observatory in the Atacama Desert, Dr. Lina Moreau picks up a transmission unlike any other. It is not a greeting. It is the last message of a civilization that understood too much. As Lina and her team decode it, a pattern emerges. More than four thousand non-human transmissions, from different origins and different eras, all end the same way: instantly, without decay, without conflict, at the exact moment each species learned to measure reality with zero uncertainty. Observation, it turns out, is not passive. Something answers. Humanity is five years from that same threshold, and the act of studying the signal may be bringing it closer. As governments move to contain the discovery, the archive leaks. Protesters fill the streets demanding an end to observation. A new faith gathers by candlelight to welcome what is coming. And the signal begins to learn from the one person who understands it best. The Silence Between Signals is a 60-minute science-fiction essay and test film about the cost of knowledge, and about what a species does when certainty itself becomes the danger. Written and directed by Carlos Gavina, based and adapted on his novel THESARI. A CGavinaFilms production.
