At a glance

Dong is a 2006 documentary directed by Jia Zhangke, running 66 minutes. It follows artist and actor Liu Xiaodong as he paints two groups of people: labourers near the Three Gorges Dam and, later, women in Bangkok. Jia films both settings at Liu’s invitation. The film was produced and distributed by Xstream Pictures, Jia’s production company based in Hong Kong and Beijing. It is listed as a documentary film from the People’s Republic of China, with Thai as its language. Producers are Yu Lik-wai and Zhu Jiong. These details make Dong a compact portrait of an artist working in contrasting locations, with Jia’s camera following the process and the people Liu paints. Its focus on labourers and women, and its movement from the Three Gorges Dam area to Bangkok, give viewers two distinct settings within a single film.

Who it is for
