Dir. JIA Zhang-ke, TAN Chui-mui, CHEN Tao, CHEN Zhi-heng, SONG Fang, WANG Zi-zhao, WEI Tie
[Introduction]
Producer JIA Zhangke has appointed 6 young directors such as Malaysian auteur TAN Chui-mui, director of "Year Without A Summer" and SONG Fang who starred in HOU Hsiao-hsien's "Flight of the Red Balloon" to this omnibus documentary. JIA Zhangke himself directs two episodes. 12 people in a variety of fields such as an entrepreneur, a dancer, a journalist, a fashion designer, an artist, a classical opera actor, a social activist, a folk singer, etc. each relate before the camera their personal experience of how they overcame hardships, which in turn highlights China's current situation. This can be described as a work with the technique of "I Wish I Knew" applied to modern China. YU Likwai, frequent collaborator on JIA Zhangke's films, handles the cinematography, all shot with the Canon EOS 5D digital SLR. The music is by LIN Chiang of "The World" and "Still Life" fame. Screened at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, Shanghai International Film Festival, and Busan International Film Festival among others.
