Disorder & Beijing Besieged By Waste
See what Chinese filmmakers are up to outside state-sanctioned production companies.
Overview
Working to capture the truth that lies behind their transforming society, filmmakers across China are working outside of state-sanctioned production companies with inexpensive cameras to communicate what international correspondents obsessed with simplicity do not.
Huang Weikai's Disorder and Wang Jiuliang's Beijing Besieged by Waste illustrate, to a point, the breadth of these documentaries. Disorder is the product of over a thousand hours of amateur footage. Unshowable on China's heavily controlled television networks, it displays for the world to see the maddening effects of an ever-changing urban environment. Beijing Besieged by Waste documents the capital's struggle with its ever-encroaching waste, featuring conversation with the scavengers who live amongst the waste of 13 million people.
