Jia Zhangke Talks ‘Caught By The Tides,’ Teases Plot For Next Film — Toronto


After making 'Caught By The Tides,' Jia Zhangke said that he will begin production on a "road, travelogue film" in October or November this year.

For over two decades, Jia took videos of Zhao Tao and other friends, filming near the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River, to Zhuhai in the far south, to China’s north-east and south-west. “I had a question: what can we accomplish with this new technology called the digital camera, and achieve a sense of freedom away from the conventional modes of production within the film industry? “It did bring me sorrow and sadness seeing how we have evolved through these different years but at the same time, this project gave me pause as a filmmaker to have that kind of necessary distance to see from the outside in, rather than just always seeing through the camera that I use to capture these images,” Jia said.
