Atlàntida Film Fest is to hold an international edition at the end of this year in Portugal, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Romania, where (with support from Programa MEDIA) audiences will be able to watch a carefully curated selection of films from this year’s edition.

 by James Marsh, for which he won a Golden Globe in 2014. This essay, which is based on a science fiction novel of the same name written in 1930 by the British author Olaf Stapledon, is narrated by Tilda Swinton.

In this film, the monuments of the former Yugoslavia – a symbol of unity following the atrocities of the Second World War – represent the threat of a future that echoes in our present. This highly unusual, immersive cinematographic experience shows how the genre of science fiction films can evoke our own world by imagining others.”
