Overview
Having made documentary films screened at the most prestigious film festivals in the West, Chinese documentary filmmaker Wang Bing presents a unique case of independent filmmaking. In 'The Cinema of Wang Bing', Bruno Lessard examines the documentarian's most important films, focusing on the two obsessions at the heart of his oeuvre - the legacy of Maoist China in the present and the transformation of labour since China's entry into the market economy - and how the crucial figures of survivor and worker are represented on screen. Bruno Lessard argues that Wang Bing is a minjian (grassroots) intellectual whose films document the impact of Mao's Great Leap Forward on Chinese collective memory and register the repercussions of China's turn to neoliberalism on workers in the post-Reform era.
