The Aquanaut (1991)
Directed by Hubert Fielden, Michel Murray, Céline Mineau
Overview
This short fiction film tells the story of a very unusual satellite named Zenon. Zenon is a product of the most up-to-date technology and so displays an unusual characteristic for a computer: he is conscious. Orbiting the Earth, he is in constant contact with Estelle, who is in charge of a major, planet-wide research project on water. Faced with the disturbing situation he observes, Zenon soon becomes bitter and disillusioned—to the point where he substantially alters his mission. Could Zenon’s creator, the mysterious Professor Nguyen, have foretold how the mission would turn out?
