Since his feature debut Pickpocket in 1997, director Jia Zhangke has been steadily making films for more than 25 years, telling deeply human stories about love, loss and the constant, indiscriminate march of time. 2000’s Platform was Zhangke’s first foray into tracking the passage of time, depicting the societal changes within a small city in China from the 1970s to the early 1990s.
