As a followup to our Afterimage series spotlighting the work of J.P. Sniadecki, we present his most recent film. A thrillingly expansive portrait of China as observed in the cramped compartments of its trains, The Iron Ministry is simultaneously a vivid social document and a bold aesthetic experiment. Shot over three years and dozens of rides, the film seamlessly unfolds as a single voyage, Sniadecki’s indefatigable camera instigating several conversations along the way that may surprise audiences for their political candor.
