EspañolJIA ZHANGKE
'Jia Zhangke' () (born 1970 in Fenyang, China) is a Chinese film director. He has been often grouped with other "Sixth Generation" directors such as Wang Xiaoshuai and Lou Ye.
Jia first appeared on the Chinese film scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s with a string of internationally acclaimed independent features including 2000's ''Platform'' (站台, ''Zhantai'') , ''Unknown Pleasures'' (任逍遙, ''Ren xiao yao''), and ''The World''. This despite their limited theatrical runs throughout the world and his obscurity in his own China. In 2004 his film, ''The World'' (世界, ''Shijie''), was nominated for a Golden Lion award at the 2004 Venice Film Festival. ''The World'' was also Jia's first film made with official approval by the Chinese government.[1] This foreshadowed his winning the 2006 Golden Lion award for his film, ''Still Life'' (三峡好人, ''Sanxia haoren'').[2] Jia's next film, ''Tattoo Age'' (刺青时代, ''Ciqing shidai'') is to be released in 2007.
Jia Zhangke is also a member of the jury of BigScreen Italia Film Festival 2006, in Kunming, China.
Jia's films treat themes of alienated youth, contemporary Chinese history and globalization, as well as his signature usage of the long-take, colorful digital video and his minimalist/realist style. ''The World'', in particular, with its portrayal of gaudy theme park filled with recreations of foreign landmarks is often noted for its critique of globalization of China.[3][4]
