Silence = Death → Silence = Death (film) – Given that the film's title and VHS cover are both references to the iconic Silence=Death Project poster, I think this is a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT situation. This is borne out by the lion's share of Google results for "silence=death", all about the poster or the group that created it, not about the film. And I don't see room for WP:SMALLDETAILS disambiguation here (which would entail retargeting Silence=Death but keeping this), as the spacing around the equals sign in reference to the poster and its creators is not consistent in RS.

I propose a move to Silence = Death (film) and a retarget of the resulting redirect to Silence=Death Project. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 23:24, 22 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Support. Silence = Death is the slogan, poster, button and t-shirts used by ACT UP. I doubt I'm the only ACT UP vet who was confused that the phrase didn't go to a page about the slogan and artwork, but to a small film I had forgotten happened. The film should definitely be at Silence = Death (film) and Silence = Death should redirect to Silence=Death Project. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 01:56, 23 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
