Novossibirsk, I love you


A surprise awaits us at the 30 minute long stop at Novossibirsk train station. A delegation of about 25 people welcomes us on the platform. They are young documentary film-makers like us (younger though!), who attend a workshop taking place just before the documentary film festival of the city, this year in its 11th edition. In a quite euphoric mood, we exchange flyers and business cards, promise each other we will come back another time longer, and answer interviews to local TV's.

Julien improvises with his yukulélé a song whose only lyrics are – in Russian: “Novossibirsk I love you”. For sure, if we don't come back, at least our films will.
