This talk will look at several films that have the construction of the controversial Three Gorges Dam in the background, and will explore the aesthetics of a new generation of filmmakers in China such as Jia Zhangke. Since this grand national project could not be debated in public, it has been the subject of representation by independent artists, painters, and filmmakers. Films to be discussed will include Jia's Still Life, Dai Sijie's Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, and Zhang Ming's In Expectation.
