For her latest film, Chinese-American director Jessica Kingdon takes us on a tour of China’s Yiwu Market-the largest wholesale consumer goods mall in the world. This award-winning work, which screened at Slamdance Film Festival, focuses on the daily lives of market vendors and their role in facilitating the flow of the world’s consumer goods and tchotchkes-from phone cases to plastic flowers.
Talking about her transfixing and thought-provoking work, Kingdon explains: “The markets have their own routines and rhythms, where the space-sprawling across five miles-operates according to the fluctuating demands of the global economy.”
