Out of the Void

Might it be possible to tap into energy from space, from nothing, out of the void? In the 1920’s, Carl Schappeller claimed that he had invented a mechanism which could access it. Memories and documents lead us into a fictional world … and eventually bring us to the present, focusing on the free energy researchers of today. A documentary-cum-feature film about the metamorphosis of a utopian idea. A cinematic exploration of the borders between belief and knowledge, vision and hubris.
