In Gansu Province, northwest China, lie the remains of countless prisoners abandoned in the Gobi Desert 60 years ago. Designated as \u201cultra-rightists\u201d in the Communist Party\u2019s Anti-Rightist campaign of 1957, they starved to death in the Jiabiangou and Mingshui reeducation camps. The film invites us to meet the survivors of the camps to find out firsthand who these persons were, the hardships they were forced to endure and what became their destiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film consists only of shocking eyewitness accounts of people in their 90s, most of whom have since died. Their words and faces create a film monument of historical remembrance that lasts over eight hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest installation by Wang Bing (whose works featured at Documenta 14) will be presented in cooperation with the Kunstbunker \u2013 Forum f\u00fcr zeitgen\u00f6ssische Kunst. The eyewitness accounts follow on from each other. There is a 30-minute pause after four hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
