WANG BING is a major contemporary documentary filmmaker who was born in Xi’an in 1967. He studied photography at the Fine Arts School in Shenyang, the industrial city he would later film in West of the Tracks. After graduating, he was admitted to the Film Academy, where he discovered the films of Antonioni, Bergman and Pasolini, and had a particular admiration for Andrei Tarkovsky. During the 1990s, he earned his living as a camera operator, film assistant and cameraman. The film and television system didn’t suit him as he realized that he couldn’t evolve within it and decided to produce his own films.
