Abstract

"Chinese director Wang Bing charts the economic demise of one of the most densely populated industrial areas in the northeast of China. The film is one long journey along the railway that cuts across the area. It becomes clear that this area, once the heart of the planned economy, with a labour-intensive industry of blast furnaces and steelworks, has not been modernized to prepare it for the future. Stuck in between the Communist heritage and the more capitalist future, economic reforms and bankruptcies lead to demolition and vacancies, leaving behind hordes of desolate workers."--Container

This and similar questions were tackled at the seminar 'Culture shocks, pitfalls and challenges for the exploring film critic', organised by the Circle of Dutch film journalists (KNF), in co-operation with the International Film festival Rotterdam, at january 31st 2001.
