Film at Lincoln Center | Wang Bing on Youth (Hard Times) | NYFF62 @filmlinc | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
Wang Bing discusses his NYFF62 Main Slate selection Youth (Hard Times) with NYFF selection committee member K. Austin Collins.

Continuing the observational nonfiction saga that began with Youth (Spring) (NYFF61), Wang Bing returns to the Chinese district of Zhili, where more than 300,000 migrant workers from rural provinces are employed in clothing workshops. In this enveloping second part of the Youth trilogy, shot between 2015 and 2019, Wang deepens his vérité portrait of a generation struggling to survive on meager wages amidst a nation’s economic expansion, emphasizing the distrustful, increasingly combative relationship between workers and management. Wang’s epic yet compressed documentary is a singular rendering of young people who have become so focused on “making a living” that they have no time for joy or rest. Says one of the film’s many subjects: “You have no rights, so what’s the use of having money?” Despite these grim realities, Wang’s film provides hope in its depiction of workers who may find their collective voice. The final part of the trilogy, Youth (Homecoming), also screens in this year’s NYFF. An Icarus Films release.

All NYFF62 feature documentaries are sponsored by HBO.
