Since you looking at the backside it's going to be to the left. Visualize the bolt turning clockwise to the right when looking down on it and realize what the filter threads want to do.
BTW if you don't have it off already, don't try using a wrench on the filter it's self. Loosen the bolt first, then spin it off. Plus you may want to change the o-ring on the bolt.
