Thesis reconstructs and reinterprets the Apollo 11 lunar mission across 6 chapters, all of which happen in real time. Using original scientific footage and audio recorded by the astronauts and mission control alongside animation, the film explores a new beginning in the anthropological journey of human kind from self-experience through exploration and expansion to self-experience through implantation and transplantation.

On its most immediate level the film is about how we open ourselves to alterity and otherness, as a state of being different, when stepping into the unknown by setting out on a journey to somewhere completely different from our previous experiences of the world.

Director and Producer Carl Grinter says, “The film was designed as a piece of research to help understand how in events and encounters with the unknown, experience can become unrepresentable to our capabilities for representation. The film sets out to understand how in the face of uncertainty and the unknown, technology can assist us as human beings, make up new ways of doing things, as a means of self-understanding, to ultimately view self and our relationship with each other and our environment, in  new and different ways. Its ultimately about the creative relationship between human beings and technology and the way we define the possibility of our future by creating optimal experiences”.
