The Colony

Short film

Year 2187.
Humanity has finally discovered a planet capable of hosting life: they named it EVA.
To build a new home among the stars, Earth has sent a group of highly specialized robots:
Bio, who nurtures plants to generate oxygen; Tech, responsible for constructing the habitat modules; and the trusted Scanner and Printer, tireless assistants ready to support every stage of the mission.
The Colony, crafted in stop motion by Dadomani Studio, is an ironic and poetic story about sustainability, artificial intelligence, and space exploration — all told with a curious and profoundly human outlook toward the future.
