Chinese directors of 5th and 6th Generation have garnered wide international recognition for their fiction output. Their documentary colleagues, however, are not met with the same amount of love and interest at film festivals. Unrightly so, as their work of documenting and exposing the rapid changes of People's Republic of China is highly commendable. Shot almost independently, with minimal budgets and no support from the government, Chinese guerilla filmmakers have to function in some of the least favourable film industry conditions. Here are some of the works representative of the Chinese indie documentary movement of last two decades.
Three Sisters (2012) by Wang Bing
Contrary to what was said in this article's introduction, Wang Bing stands as an exception to the rule. As the most recognized Chinese contemporary documentary filmmaker, he is widely celebrated since his monumental debut “West of the Tracks” (2003). “Three Sisters” however is a far more accessible entry point into his filmography.
