In 2001, commissioned by the South Korean Jeonju Film Festival to make a short digital film, Jia Zhang-Ke set up his camera on the outskirts of the mining town of Datong. In thirty-one shots, In Public captures anonymous people, moments of waiting and indecision, in a railway station, a bus stop, a dance hall... transforming observed reality into a series of mini-fictions.
