About the film
“Looking on The Other Bank” (Russian title «Напротив Левого берега») is a documentary portrait of Rostov-on-Don. Eight young authors film the city and, as they work, change how they see it. Director Evgeny Grigoriev films the process itself, so the result is a “nesting-doll” film: a film about the city and about people discovering it.
What was done
Urban Factory was the local partner and the organiser on the ground in Rostov-on-Don.
