[Marxism] 24 City

Opening at the IFC Center in NY on June 5, “24 City” is the latest
envelope-pushing movie by Jia Zhang-ke. Incorporating fictional
elements, this documentary casts a cold and clinical eye on the new
China and expresses nostalgia for the Maoist system symbolized by an
actual state-owned munitions factory replete with “Iron rice bowl”
support pillars. Named “Factory 240”, as an internal security code for
the Chengdu Engine Group, it is about to relocated in order to make room
for an enormous real estate development geared to China’s rising
professional classes and called “24 City”.
