Rostov-Luanda is a 1997 Mauritanian documentary film directed by Abderrahmane Sissako and co-produced by Christian Baute, Pierre Hanau, and Dominique Andreani.[1][failed verification][2]
The documentary deals with long standing friendship between the director Sissako who met Baribanga, an Angolan student, during a train ride from Moscow to Rostov when both were moving to study film in Moscow.[3][4] Many years later, Sissako made his journey across war-torn Angola to find his friend.[5][6][7]
The film had its premier on 25 January 1997 in the Netherlands.[8] The film received positive reviews from critics and screened at many film festivals. In 2018, at the Namur International Festival of French-Speaking Film, it received a Special Mention at the TV5 Best Documentary Award.[citation needed]
