An Atmospheric Exploration of a World Outside Time
biggarrettwilson31 August 2018
Third Kind features immaculate compositions of a lonely world as three archaeologists explore the desolate Earth looking for the source of mysterious signal. The short features a perfect marriage of evocative sound design and distant visuals to evoke a feeling of breadth. The story unveils itself slowly in the details of the film as the scientists slowly move along on their journey. Time is of no consequence here, every detail more important than the last, and coalesces into a poignant moment of self-reflection. The piece sheds a light on the state of humanity through the lack of humanity. Beautiful.
A True Film
SudanFilmFactory27 December 2018
The director Yorgos Zois was very successful in choosing the filming sites for each scene, as they really elaborated the meaning behind the story. The film touches on the bitter reality of humanity, in such a wonderful way that makes it certainly one of the most truest films as of late.
Gorgeous

Warning: Spoilers
Third Kind is a journey into the interior of humanity, a science fiction film in the style of Kubrick. A beautiful metaphor about the loss of humanity in the distant future, or will it be the now? Fascinating and dazzling!
Talking about the future but mostly about the present
elebosco28 March 2019
Three archeologists from the future return to earth to investigate the source of a mysterious signal. For the viewer this reveals to be a journey to the present. A beautiful and neat cinematography and a finely crafted sound design create a meditative pace which accompany us through the abandoned labyrinths of our own society.
The new "Third Kind"
dw-7635710 September 2018
Of course "Third Kind" by Yorgos Zois refers to Steven Spielberg's "Close
Encounters of the Third Kind", on the same time to Stanley Kublick's "2001 - A Space Odyssey".
But the dimension, which configures in Spielberg's and even more in Kubrick's works the confrontation with a mysterious intelligence, an evidently superior culture - Kublick's monolith stone as the incarnation of the unknown - now in Zios' short film is replaced
by the figure of a lost emigrant, last representative of a likewise lost culture,
which still communicate with superior forces (the stadium). Yorgos Zois creates a sublime comment on migration in a surprising perspective: a definitely lost of cultures.
