Schwartz, of the Winona State Film Studies Program. Dr. Schwartz will give an introduction to why she chose the film and how it relates to the current exhibitions and themes. Bring your own blanket or camping chair if you like, no food or drinks allowed in the galleries. About the film Still Life (Dir. Jia Zhangke 2006, Chinese) Rating: Not Rated The film follows two different characters set in Fengjie, a small town on the Yangtze River during the building of the Three Gorges Dam. As the dam destroys this river town, a man and a woman on parallel tracks search for their spouses. The film has some surrealist elements that draw attention to the simultaneous destruction of a community and the promise of progress in the face of authoritarianism, bureaucracy, and displacement. The film also explores relationships and connection. About Dr. Danielle B. Schwartz Dr. Danielle B.
