Jia Zhangke's new film Still Life takes place in the village of Fengjie, a town destroyed during the creation of the Three Gorges Dam. The film highlights those displaced by the construction, telling the story of a miner who returns to the town to search for his ex-wife, and a nurse who comes back to find her husband. For more information, read this review.
“I entered this condemned city [Fengjie] with my camera and I witnessed demolitions and explosions. In the roaring noise and fluttering dust, I gradually felt that life really could blossom in brilliant colours even in a place with such desperation.” – Jia Zhang-ke
