A prize-winner at the Venice Film Festival and Ukraine’s official selection for the 2021 Academy Awards, Atlantis is a gorgeous and visionary sci-fi drama. Eastern Ukraine, 2025. A desert unsuitable for human habitation. Water is a dear commodity brought by trucks. A Wall is being build-up on the border. Sergiy, a former soldier, is having trouble adapting to his new reality. He meets Katya while on the Black Tulip mission dedicated to exhuming the past. Together, they try to return to some sort of normal life in which they are also allowed to fall in love again.

*75% of ticket revenue will be donated to Ukrainian humanitarian aid efforts in Winnipeg. Further donations are welcome and encouraged.

Reviews

Tonally, there are shades of Werner Herzog. But Vasyanovych's tone is distinct; not to mention timely. The crisis he depicts can be as dull as it is dramatic, making Atlantis an eerily topical watch.
- Anna Smith, Deadline Hollywood Daily  
Instead of being numbingly dreary and depressing [...] Atlantis is strangely upbeat, oddly hopeful even.
- Leslie Felperin, Guardian  
An electrifying post-apocalyptic vision…. One of the most jaw-dropping shots of the year... Absolutely deserving of the biggest canvas possible — it’s a world you want to live in.
- Ryan Lattanzio, Indiewire  
Dazzling, strange, tragic, comic, touching and eventually optimistic. Masterful.
- Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
