Smartest Street in the World

Directed by Ivan Vdovin

Novosibirsk's Akademgorodok is a unique phenomenon, combining the profound pragmatism of Soviet science with the spirit of enthusiasm and vision of the 1960s. It harbors a vast number of elements that played a significant role in our past and continue to influence our lives today. Literally on a single street, thousands of PhD and doctoral students live and work, their knowledge spanning every known field of science. It can be said to be a profound social experiment, resulting in some of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century. The film tells the untold story of Akademgorodok in a documentary-style narrative that will captivate viewers with vivid artistic images and unexpected scientific facts.
