Dunhuang

Chinese director Jia Zhangke is preparing 'Mamma Dunhuang', a new road movie starring his longtime collaborator and wife Zhao Tao. The filmmaker says he will not use artificial intelligence anywhere in the production, a stance that sets the project apart as AI debate sweeps the film industry. Details on plot and timeline remain limited, but the pairing of Jia, Zhao Tao and the Dunhuang setting is already drawing attention from international cinema watchers.
