A young Novgorodian was given money to create his debut film about a mysterious neighbor

The All-Russian project of the Full-Cycle Film Laboratory in Veliky Novgorod ended with the victory of the Novgorod participant. During the week, young authors from Arkhangelsk, Syktyvkar, Veliky Novgorod, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region improved their skills under the curatorial eye of experienced experts. One of them, by the way, was the general director of the Novgorod Museum-Reserve Sergey Bryun . Those who took the course had the opportunity to apply for grant support - 2.5 million rubles for the production of a short film and 7 million for a full-length film. This time, among all the projects, the first place was taken by the film "Who's Behind the Door?" by Novgorod resident Arseny Morkovkin.

This is an intriguing first-person documentary. Arseny has been living in a communal apartment in Veliky Novgorod for 15 years with a lonely, mysterious woman, whom he has been afraid of all this time and about whom he knows almost nothing. However, when she suddenly disappears, the author sets out to find her, to finally meet her.

Arseniy Morkovkin is 23 years old, his background includes working as a cameraman on Novgorod television. Now he is a video maker.
