DIRECTOR
Jia Zhangke (1970) Director, graduated from the famous Beijing Film Academy. One of the head representatives of the sixth generation of Chinese filmmakers, next to Lou Ye and Wang Quan’an. In his creative work he connects brutal naturalism with a contemplative mood and subtle metaphors. His first film, “The World,” made thanks to the permission of the Chinese government, was nominated for the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 2004. The director won this award two years later for “Still Life.”
