Are there any industrial films in China?

The characteristics of industrial films since the reform and opening up include the following answers:

The concentrated appearance of China's industrial films is not only an image record in the early stage of socialist construction, but also an artistic expression of the theme of the times and personal ideals. After the reform and opening-up, the "tough battle" of China's social modernization triggered violent fluctuations in ideas and changes in ideas.

At the intersection of tradition and modernity, some film creators "marked" the pulse of ordinary people in the industrial construction army in noisy and restless words, highlighting the ordinary things submerged behind the majestic industrial symbols and giving them the light and warmth they deserve.

In recent years, some documentaries focus on engineering projects and builders in the industrial field, such as Great Power (20 13) and Chinese Builders (20 15), which draw the audience's memory to the fiery era of industrial construction in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the era of coexistence of opportunities and challenges since the reform and opening up. Looking back on the 1980s, the influx of western theories is like a big exhibition of ideas and methodology.

Artistic creation is carried out under such a theoretical background. Taking China films as an example, it is a good opportunity for theory and practice to "go hand in hand" by inheriting the tradition and exploring. Among them, industrial films began to consciously turn to creation after experiencing the relatively simple narrative tone and patterned plot in the "seventeen years" period.

Conventional visual symbols and the industrial landscape they created also withdrew from the mainstream, supporting the generation and reconstruction of text meaning in the aftertaste of the landscape.
