Thrilled to announce that CAPIO has just received a 9.5/10 review from Film Threat!🎬🙂

Come experience the film on the big screen at the Queens World Film Festival — November 12th, 3:30 PM.

Writer-director Aleksandar Kostic’s Capio is a surreal, slow-burning descent into obsession, technology, and the fragility of perception. Blending mystery, sci-fi, and psychological tension, this indie sci-fi thriller pulls us into the mind of a man who discovers something in the sky and something...

Dear All,

I am beyond excited to finally share the trailer and ticket information for CAPIO screening!

World Premiere at Queens World Film Festival
Wednesday, November 12, 2025 – 3:30 PM
Kaufman Astoria Studios – Zukor Theatre
November 12th, 3:30 PM Block: Future Past Future – Tickets : https://queensworldfilmfestival.org/films/capio/

Capio — it’s a warning that technological progress without checks and balance can strip away the very things that make us human: touch, love, empathy, freedom, and connection with the natural world.

Logline:
“An amateur astronomer discovers a strange new star in the sky that leads him into the heart of a dark conspiracy to control humanity by exploiting its addiction to technology.”

This film has been a 7-year journey, and I am deeply grateful to finally bring it to the screen at the Queens World Film Festival.

Come and witness the artistry and spirit that the cast and crew poured into this film.
