Details.
Wiki.
Shadowland is a 2024 Finnish documentary film about an esoteric community in the French Pyrenees, directed by Otso Tiainen.
The documentary was originally planned to be about filmmaker and occultist Richard Stanley and other members of an esoteric community, called "The Zone," in the French Occitania. During filming, an allegation of past domestic abuse was made against Stanley. Further allegations led the documentarists to follow a new direction for the film.
Director Tiainen stated in an official statement: "We filmmakers started this journey planning to make an elevated documentary with genre film aspirations. The film was supposed to show how an imagined world can mend a broken soul. Soon everything turned upside down. Instead of portraying an artist's rise, fall and glorious rise again, we ended up following his friends and admirers getting lost in a web of manipulation."
Shadowland premiered at Beyond Fest, Los Angeles, in October 2024. Since then it has been selected for, among others, Imagine Film Festival in the Netherlands, Calgary Underground Film Festival in Canada, and Night Visions Film Festival in Finland.
Shadowland is selected for the main competition at the 2025 Krakow Film Festival, where it was nominated for the main prize, the Golden Horn.
The film is Tiainen's debut as director. It is executive produced by Sam Lake, and produced by Finland's Bufo, also the producers of Aki Kaurismäki's Fallen Leaves.
