Description
NEW WORKS BY JIA ZHANG-KEJia Zhang-ke is perhaps China’s most important contemporary filmmaker, and the leading figure of what is known as the "Sixth Generation." We present his two newest films, both local premieres.
USELESS
June 5 at 7:00 pm; June 8 at 2:00 pm
In his haunting and compassionate new film, Jia examines the spiritual life of the Chinese clothing industry—the largest exporter of garments in the world. (2007, 82 min, digital video)
DONG
June 5 at 8:30 pm; June 8 at 3:30 pm
A companion piece to his recent film Still Life, in Dong (“east” in Mandarin) Jia beautifully explores the possibilities of documenting life and art. As with much of his other work, Jia examines fantasy, landscape and the underlying realities of ordinary people caught in a whirlwind of rapid change. (2006, 66 min, digital video)
Tickets: $8 regular; $6 students, seniors, teachers & YBCA Members
