Atlantic Shadows is the second chapter in the cinematic journey connecting New York City and Valencia — but this time, daylight fades, and the shadows begin to speak.
Following the poetic cultural dialogue of Atlantic Narratives, this new anthology dives into the nocturnal side of the cities: neon-lit streets, forgotten alleys, silent whispers behind walls, and the inner labyrinths of the human soul.
Filmmakers Kostiantyn Mishchenko (New York) and Valeri Zayets (Valencia) invite you into a world where the metropolitan night and Mediterranean stillness become mirrors of fear, solitude, memory, and desire.
In this twilight zone, everyday life dissolves, and the distance between geography and imagination shrinks to a flicker of light in the dark.
Each short film is a fragment of a dream, a confessional whisper, a movement through shadow — revealing what hides behind familiar facades.
Atlantic Shadows is not just a continuation — it’s a reflection in puddles and windows, a breakdown of genre, a poetry of darkness.
