Metropolis, Report from China
The film essay documents a journey to Shanghai and Beijing which was made in 2004 with the aim to gather research material for a remake of Fritz Lang‘s cinema classic „Metropolis“. Construction workers talk about their experience on urban building sites; architects are asked about the future of Chinese cities.
