The Z and Cinema New Bedford present Ukraine’s official selection for the 2021 Academy Awards, Atlantis, to benefit The Immigrants' Assistance Center in New Bedford.
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.
DCP / Ukraine / 2020 / 106 minutes / In Ukrainian with English subtitles
The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine has drawn attention to the plight of refugees around the globe. In the spirit of thinking globally and acting locally, the Zeiterion will donate all revenue from this movie to support New Bedford’s The Immigrants' Assistance Center's important work with refugees in our community.
From the director, Valentyn Vasyanovych:
Atlantis is the most precise explanation of the effects of a massive war between Ukraine and Russia. The biggest problem of the Donbas is not an economic degradation, but ecological catastrophe. Hundreds of mines from which water was previously pumped out are now abandoned and flooded. Poisoned water from them falls into wells and rivers. After a few years, there will be no drinking water in this region, and Donbas will turn into a lifeless desert like Chernobyl. Sergey, who returns home from the war, wants to get rid of injuries and live a full life. To rethink the changes that have occurred to him, he joins the volunteers who are engaged in the exhumation of the bodies of the dead soldiers. Digging the corpses, he steps over his psychological trauma, finds the strength to live on. The result of this path is the rapprochement of Sergey with the same traumatised war of Katya. The theme of the war in the east of Ukraine is the most acute and urgent topic for me. Ecological disaster, to which the war has already come.
