Product Description

STREET LIFE explores the hidden lives of homeless migrants who survive in the shadows of one of Shanghai's most historic and affluent streets.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of Chinese migrants are drawn to the allure of Shanghai, one of the world's most vibrant cities, with hopes of earning a decent living. Some end up in the dark alleys of Nanjing Road, Shanghai's largest shopping street, where they learn to hustle and scrape together any kind of living they can. One migrant, known as Black Skin, faces numerous pressures in his daily existence, including police violence. Black Skin's story intersects with those of fellow bottle collectors, enterprising thieves and even a young boy who was abandoned. Eventually Black Skin goes mad, dancing wildly through the crowds of Nanjing Road and in the doorways of luxury shops.

Director Zhao Dayong (GHOST TOWN, 2009 New York Film Festival) arrived in Shanghai in 2004 and began documenting the lives of itinerant Chinese using digital video. He saw their stories as overlooked portraits of the deep social impact caused by China's rapid economic growth. Zhao uses bold, exaggerated compositions in order to emphasize the relationship between his vagrant subjects and the city streets they inhabit. The result is a raw, vivid portrait of physical and psychological rootlessness. STREET LIFE reflects the way of life for thousands of forgotten people in one of the world's largest cities.

Street Life (Nanjing Lu) (Institutional Use) Review

Zhou Dayong's "Street Life" depicts a few of those among China's hundreds of migrants
who dreamed of a better future but found only poverty and desperation. The product
of enormous and rapid economic growth, the nouveau riche live beside the homeless;
captured here on film with vivid ruthlessness are the lives of Shanghai bottle collectors,
thieves, and abandoned children who live on a street of luxury stores and glaring
billboards. A drawn out finale shows a subject of recent police brutality dancing beneath
a Jumbotron in a grotesque parody of Chinese opera as people walk past, uncaring.
