Portraits of China, rich in emotion
By Loren King, 11/16/2003

Her work has won recognition from international film festivals, and she's been heralded as one of the key artists in a new generation of Chinese directors whose movies target emotions within a documentary-like style. Ning Ying, the most prominent female director to emerge from the Beijing Film Academy, will attend the screening of her 2002 film "Railroad of Hope" at the Harvard Film Archive Friday at 7 p.m. as part of the HFA's four-film series "From China With Love: The Films of Ning Ying."

"Railroad of Hope" documents the thousands of Chinese peasants, mostly women, who leave the provinces each August to travel by train to harvest cotton in the region of Xinjiang. Ning took this three-day journey herself to document the migration and pose questions.

The series continues with the director's 1993 Beijing-set comedy "For Fun" Friday at 9 p.m. (It shows again Nov. 23 at 7 p.m.) Ning's widely acclaimed "On the Beat" (1995), a portrait of bicycle-riding local policemen, is a sly commentary on the Chinese obsession with bureaucracy. It will screen Saturday at 7 p.m. and Nov. 23 at 9 p.m. The last film in the series is "I Love Beijing" (2001), a portrait of a cab driver in the city and his short-lived romances. It screens Saturday at 9 p.m. and Nov. 25 at 9 p.m.
