What a wonderful idea - a short film noir told from the point of view of the shadow.
Watch it full-screen and be prepared to watch it several times.
Gorgeous work, incredible idea, perfect implementation.

From the website:

In the shadow
A fantasy film noir with shadows. (Black & White. French with english subtitles).

A shadow is telling its life story with his "Wearer", a flesh and bone double, who one day it decides to get rid of...

Narrated by Roger Candy.
Music by Roque Banos & Danny Elfman.
Written, edited & directed by Fabrice Mathieu.

This short film is a prequel to a full feature movie script called "Dans l'ombre", written by Fabrice Mathieu. This project is looking for producers.  This prequel is a research and editing work based on footages from more than sixty movies showing the most beautiful shadows in the cinema history, from "Nosferatu" to "Sin City". The story is narrated from the shadows point of view.

Fabrice Mathieu is also responsible for the wonderful mashup Darth by Darthwest from 2020.
There are quite a few videos at their YouTube page
