STATIC(2026)

STATIC Synopsis

A cultural sciences professor named Sam has spent nearly two months buried in archival research on Remi Silva — a Lagos philanthropist of Afro-Brazilian descent whose life, on paper, reads as entirely ordinary. But the deeper Sam digs, the more the man refuses to stay ordinary. A cassette tape in Yoruba. A cryptic sealed letter. A symbol that keeps appearing where it shouldn't. When a young bookkeeper steps in for the absent librarian, what begins as small talk about belief and mythology starts to quietly destabilize everything Sam thinks he knows. *Static* is a slow-burn mystery about the limits of skepticism — and what happens when a man of reason comes face to face with what he cannot explain.

STATIC (2026) is a mystery, history and drama film directed by Jesse Oreoluwatomi Johnson, released on May 30, 2026 with a runtime of 10m. It stars Fikemi asiwaju faloye and Anthonia Oloko.
