ANTENA: The Film

One-quarter suspense thriller, one-quarter pulp fiction, one-quarter documentary, one-quarter in-between-these-all, “Antenna” is the film that brings together all of these stories (Tita, Los Super Amigos, Carlos, Hernando, El Rey, Jorge), in a play between the real and the fictitious. This boundary blurs, bringing into question televised simulation and the response it generates, as products of social imaginary and consensus. A mysterious signal that interferes regular televised programming throughout the city which provokes panic among mass media executives, spawns a bizarre persecution. The shadowy bandit, the ill-fated private-eye, the unexplainable infiltrations; all of the traditional elements of the accustomed plot line, mix and re-mix, to finally reveal an open-ended question: Do we really want to know what’s out there?
