Master class on Jia Zhangke's film 'Still Life'
UC Berkeley's Center for Chinese Studies presents a talk by Dai Jinhua on the film Still Life
When:
April 19, 2010 4:00pm to 6:00pm
This seminar, led by Dai Jinhua, will examine the film text of Still Life in order to discuss the realist paradoxes of China’s destruction and construction, submersion and emergence, in the midst of rapid economic development. It will also address the main theme of the quest, as found in the film, to further address the immediate predicaments that reappear in Chinese culture.
Requires registration: email ccs@berkeley.edu
Note: Film will be screened on Thursday, April 8 at the Townsend Center.
Dai Jinhua is the director of the Center for Film Studies and Cultural Studies at Beijing University, and the foremost feminist, “New Left” cultural critic in China.
