Book excerpt: A leading figure in documentary cinema, Wang Bing's boundary-pushing films witness the accelerated transformation of China's landscape with a deep sense of intimacy and sincerity. He has been working outside of China's film industry since the beginning of his career, always shooting alone or with a very small crew. His films offer unsparing looks at the everyday lives and struggles of people living on the margins of Chinese society. The resilience of the human spirit is at the heart of each of these works, opening up timely existential and socio-economic questions. With a bold, uncompromising approach to cinematic form, Wang Bing's singular body of work is testament to a rare tenacity of vision that continues to expand how the medium can represent human lives and histories. This Pioneers film series surveys the artist's filmic portraits of labour and remote survival, as well as his dedicated examination of a suppressed chapter of Chinese history. The programme marks the first London screenings of 'Man with No Name' and the monumental 'West of the Tracks' in its entirety, and includes an artist talk in which Wang Bing will share his 2014 video Traces for the first time in the UK.--from Tate website.
