Still Life is a 2006 Chinese film directed by Jia Zhangke. Shot in the old village of Fengjie, a small town on the Yangtze River slowly being destroyed by the building of the Three Gorges Dam, Still Life tells the story of two people in search of their spouses. Still Life is a co-production of the Shanghai Film Studio and Xstream Pictures.

Production

Filmed on location in Fengjie, Still Life was shot entirely on high-definition digital video by cinematographer Yu Lik-wai. The filming started in late 2005 and most of the scenes were done in Fengjie. Because of the city's status as a site for invaluable ancient relics and also the controversial construction of the then-ongoing Three Gorges Dam project.

Casting was primarily with Jia regulars, including the two leads, Zhao Tao (who has appeared in every Jia film since 2000's Platform) and Han Sanming (who also appeared in Jia's The World). Also appearing in a minor role is Wang Hongwei, who often acts as Jia's onscreen alter ego (Xiao Wu, Platform). The film's crew also consists of frequent Jia collaborators.

Unlike many of his contemporaries (and indeed unlike many of Jia's own films), Still Life was approved by the Chinese Film Bureau, SARFT, and was co-produced by the state-operated Shanghai Film Studio. Jia suggested that this support was due to the fact that the "impact of the Three Gorges project is phenomenal. It's not something the government can cover up."

Still Life was given a brief theatrical run in China (opening on the same day as the big-budget Curse of the Golden Flower) and also heavily bootlegged.
