A short documentary that captures the longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century, The Yellow Bank takes you on a contemplative boat ride across the Huangpu River in Shanghai, China. Filmmaker J.P. Sniadecki, who lived and worked in Shanghai nine years earlier, uses the eclipse as a catalyst to explore the way weather, light, and sound affect the urban architectural environment during this extremely rare phenomenon.

Viewing Notes
Fascinating to watch but also maybe the easiest of short form documentaries. Eerie to see this city go dark as life along the river goes on. Since it’s raining it’s hard to tell if that’s mist in the air or smog.
