New Beijing: Reinventing a City Trailer

'Better take a photo now as it will be no more! comments a local man, as activist Zhang Jinqi snaps his traditional home in one of Beijings narrow lane-ways (hutongs). Zhang Jinqis photography project, Memories of China, documents the remaining heritage districts of the old city, which are soon to be demolished. Swinging from old to new, the documentary switches to a panoramic view of the biggest construction boom in history and charts the modern face of Beijing and its newly iconic buildings such as Watercube, Birds Nest Stadium and the National Theatre. Wallace-Crabbes film is a fascinating record of a period of extraordinary change in one of the oldest cities on earth. This film is part of the Sydney Film Festival 2-14 June 2010. www.sff.org.au
