"Better take a photo now as
it will be no more," comments a local man as activist Zhang
Jinqi snaps a photo of the man's traditional home in one of Beijing's
narrow lane-ways. Zhang Jinqi's photography project, Memories
of China, documents the remaining heritage districts of the old
city which soon will be demolished. Focusing on the transition
from old to new, the documentary gives a panoramic view of the
biggest construction boom in history while charting the modern
face of Beijing and its newly iconic buildings such as Watercube,
Birds Nest Stadium and the National Theater. Wallace-Crabbe's
film is a fascinating record of a period of extraordinary change
in one of the oldest cities on earth.
