​
​
Atlantide is produced by Dugong Films, RAI Cinema, Luxbox and Unbranded Pictures.
The film, set in Venice, describes a marginal Venetian reality of teenagers who drive boats in the Venetian lagoon.
Casting the boys for Atlantide was one of the hardest and most fun things
I've done for this project!
The actual pre-production with the director took
2 months during wich Yuri and I explored and got to know the city and its inhabitants.
Atlantide is a violent and dark story of male initiation..
Far from the tourist areas, the young people of the Venice lagoon live in a parallel reality.
The world of Atlantide was also captured by photographer Matteo De Mayda with his project PIMP MY BARCHINO released on Rolling stone online.
