A five-minute CG sci-fi short film by Danil Krivoruchko, based on Peter Watts's novel Blindsight. It follows a revived crew member recalling a first contact mission, and took four years to make with artists worldwide.

Shared as a fan-made teaser for Blindsight in threads about the novel or alien intelligence.

In addition to all the other recommendations, I recommend Blindsight. You can buy it where all good books are sold, or the author also gives it away on his website ( link ) but considers it good form to send a donation his way if you enjoy it. Some fans of the book put together a short teaser trailer for it: ▶ this video
