From the sensational opening tracking shot of a young dancer\u0027s backstage quest for a Band-Aid to poetic flourishes of animation and clever use of text-messaging, Jia pushes past the kitsch potential of this surreal setting. The Village Voice called Jia Zhangke \u0022the world\u0027s greatest filmmaker under forty,\u0022 and The World is his funniest, most inventive and touching work to date.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAll films have English subtitles.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOrganizer and curator: Howard Y.
