The Kingdom Of Shadows (2016)
A Motion Picture by Daniel Fawcett & Clara Pais


The Kingdom Of Shadows(2016) is a mystical cinematic experience which stirs from the darkness the spirits of our ancestors and reawakens the horror of unresolved crimes and denied desires. A family trapped in a house are tormented by unseen forces, a lost figure desperately attempts to escape his crimes, two lovers drift in eternal darkness and a hooded alchemist seeks the key to transformation. Shot on location in Portugal with an international cast, The Kingdom Of Shadows is a surrealist vision inspired by dreams, biblical myths, alchemy and family history.

Some quotes about the film:

"The Kingdom Of Shadows is like an enlightening dream you volunteer to get lost in forever." - Nikola Gocić / NGBooArt

"The makers of The Kingdom Of Shadows can now join the rank of other “film sorcerers”—such as Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger, Jane Arden, Derek Jarman, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Werner Schroeter, Nina Menkes, David Lynch." - Jit Phokaew / Limitless Cinema

"The filmmakers beautifully orchestrate the flow of dance sequences, music, evocative visual design, and ambient sound, and these elements all work together to create a kind of feverish dream in which a familys history is alchemically analyzed down to its roots in our founding myths." - David Finkelstein / Film Scratches

"The Kingdom of Shadows drags the ephemeral, private cadences of personal dream worlds solidly into this one." - Karen Eng / Take One
