About ‘Chinese Dream, a journey across the Yangtze region
In the cities of Chongqing, Yichang and Wuhan where the Yangtze River flows, people are caught in the middle of major transformations. These changes to their environment have left many displaced and disturbed. With the construction of The Three Gorges Dam, entire towns and cities have disappeared and new towns are emerging with no clear identity.
Trapped in the rush to be transformed and to modernize, faces express mixed feelings, between acceptance, bewilderment and curiosity. Moved, destroyed, polluted, “the river at the centre of the world” is portrayed here as an allegory of China’s metamorphosis, a country whose population is both actor and spectator.
Next deadline for submissions: 31st January 2012
