The Promenade / Набережная

(Documentary, Russia, 2021, 45’, C, En ST)

The Promenade

A chronicle story about life of one seemingly unremarkable embankment of the Kama River in a remote area of ​​Perm. But it is unremarkable only at a first glance. If an attentive viewer takes a closer look at what is happening here, he will be able to catch the whisper of absolutely incredible events, real life experiences and stories that city residents unwittingly entrust these stones. The key thing is to carefully observe!


“Reality is a complex stuff. I think that mythology is more real than the reality itself. The myth depicts the universe in its wholeness, not only the man. That’s why I like fairy tales. And to take news stories for reality is a true error. For me, it’s a difficult theme, I still need to sort out what is reality.” Nadya Zakharova
