| Details | My Camera Doesn’t Lie is a phrase used to describe post Tian’anmen filmmaking in China. Directors like Jia Zhangke started to work with hand digital video formats and amateur actors to document the massive urbanization and social change following economic reforms in the 1980s and 1990s. Jia, one of today’s most acclaimed Chinese filmmakers, uses documentary aesthetic to engage with the social transformations, economic forces and cultural shifts following Deng Xiaoping’s Reform and Opening. He captures the everyday lives of ordinary people and illustrates how they not only benefit from economic growth and new opportunities, but have become estranged and lost within China’s rapid transformation. |
