Atlantic Narratives is a film anthology of short stories bridging the cultural and emotional landscapes of two vibrant cities—New York and Valencia. Directed by Valery Zayets (Valencia, Spain) and Konstantin Mishchenko (New York, USA), this cinematic journey crosses the Atlantic to weave together tales of human connection, geography, and memory.
Each short film stands as a unique narrative, yet collectively, they form a mosaic that contrasts the restless energy of a global metropolis with the tranquil charm of the Mediterranean. Themes of love, loss, self-discovery, and unexpected encounters come to life through the universal language of cinema.
Atlantic Narratives highlights the enduring bonds between people, places, and cultures, proving that oceans may divide us geographically but never spiritually.
Experience this one-of-a-kind project and discover the infinite connections between two worlds through the lens of storytelling.
