The second is “The Last Human” from Netflix. Humanity has disappeared. Only one woman remains\u2014and thousands of robots who continue to live as if she were their god.

Fourth is “The Gravity of Silence” by Sony. In the future, sound has become a luxury. It was banned so that people wouldn’t hear each other. But one girl hears. She hears silence. And in it, voices. The film is shot without sound. Only silence. And glances.<\/p>\n

Ninth is “The Sound of Absence” by A24. Scientists discover there’s sound in space\u2014but it’s unheard. It’s silence. And it’s calling. Those who hear it are carried away.

Tenth: “The End Was Not the End” by A24. Humanity has destroyed itself. But in one place\u2014in the deep ocean\u2014one man remains. He doesn’t live. He doesn’t die. He waits.
