Lubomir Arsov’s groundbreaking short film IN-SHADOW: A Modern Odyssey poses a number of questions through an epic quest into the darkness of Western civilization.

At 13 minutes long, this gorgeously illustrated film embarks on a journey of exploration into the human psyche, bringing society’s dark underbelly to the surface.

If a purpose of art is to “disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed,” as Cesar Cruz once observed, this film is an undeniable masterpiece.

IN-SHADOW: A Modern Odyssey removes the masks people wear to reveal the deeper truth at the heart of Western society’s deepest issues: at our core, we are all human. We have complex emotional and psychological needs that we push to the side to assimilate to a faceless system that caters to a profit-obsessed, unlimited-growth economy.

I encourage to take a look and enjoy.

  1. ‘Enjoy’ is not the word I would use but it is a masterpiece in zeroing in on not where we are headed -but where we already are. That’s the most terrifying thing about it. It’s that cold douse of ice water everyone needs NOW.
