A Chinese documentary, Ghost Town (废城), about a remote corner of Yunnan Province, will be shown at the New York Film Festival on September 27. From dGenerate Film’s promotional materials:
Zhiziluo is a town barely clinging to life. Tucked away in a rugged corner of Southwest China, the village is haunted by traces of China’s cultural past while its residents piece together a day-by-day existence. Lisa and Nu minority villagers squat in the abandoned halls of this remote former Community county seat, where Cultural Revolution slogans fade into the shadows of the old city hall, and a blank white figure of Chairman Mao gazes silently to the wild mountain wilderness of the Salween River Valley in China’s southwest Yunnan province.
