''Dong'' () is a 2006 documentary film by Chinese director, Jia Zhangke. It is the companion piece to Jia's ''Still Life'', which was released concurrently although ''Dong'' was reputedly conceived of first. The film, which runs a relatively short 66 minutes, follows the artist and actor Liu Xiaodong as he invites Jia to film him while he paints a group of laborers near the Three Gorges Dam (also the subject of ''Still Life'') and later a group of women in Bangkok. The film was produced and distributed by Jia's own production company, Xstream Pictures, based out of Hong Kong and Beijing. ''Dong'' was screened at the 2006 Venice International Film Festival as part of its "Horizons" Program, and as part of the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival's "Real-to-Reel" Program.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Film description )〕 ''Dong'' was filmed in HD digital video. == Relationship with ''Still Life'' == Filmed at the same time as Jia's fiction film, ''Still Life'', ''Dong'' also shares the same setting (the Three Gorges area of central China) and in certain instances, the same shots. Han Sanming, one of the leads in ''Still Life'', also appears (in character) within ''Dong'' as do other characters from that film. The film, given its shorter length and improvised feel was overshadowed immediately by ''Still Life'', which would go on to win the 2006 Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. In contrast, ''Dong'' generated far less publicity, prompting one critic to deride it as a "minor addition" to Jia Zhangke's canon.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dong (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
