Description
Synopsis:
The second half of summer 2019. Several concerts and exhibitions are taking place in the Narodnaya underground garage gallery in Nizhny Tagil. The film immerses the viewer into the very thick of the preparation process for such events, offering an insight into the feelings and thoughts of local artists and curators, musicians and other representatives of Tagil’s youth, who created a gallery that was fated to exist for only one season.
About the director:
Born in 1998 in Nizhny Tagil, Vadim Kostrov began studying at the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography in 2017, but left in 2018 after just a year. After that, he made his first full-length documentary Attic Underground. Shot on VHS, the film explored the history of the Russian underground of the 1980s and 1990s. Regularly returning to the Urals, Kostrov created the films Summer (2020), Winter (2021) and the documentary trilogy Narodnaya.
In 2021, the film Summer was given a special mention by the jury at the Sheffield Doc/Fest festival, and his earlier work Orpheus (2019) was screened in competition at the FID Marseille festival. The premiere of the Narodnaya documentary trilogy (the films Narodnaya, After Narodnaya and Comet) took place at the Doclisboa festival in October 2021.
