As I mentioned last week, Wang Bing was most probably getting ready for Cannes with a project that was going by the name of Hometown, but I may be two versions wrong with the name of the project as Wild Bunch's slate is actually going by the title of The Ditch and was formerly known as Wind and Dust.

The good news is that Cannes might be the lieu for Wang Bing's first foray into fiction film, the bad news is, at least temporarily, we know next to nothing on his next film project except that: it was first mentioned in 2007's Pusan Promotion Plan during the 2007 Pusan International Film Festival and will probably be produced by Lihong Kang. If Bing continues with the same themes of interest, Hometown should relate back to the subject matter the Chinese filmmaker explored in his previous documentary films such as China's own industrial revolution and new economy or the Cultural Revolution.

Among the notable titles, we have Michelangelo Frammartino's Le Quattro volte, Olivier Assayas' Carlos and Alex de la Iglesia's The Last Circus and Wang Bing is doing a Master Class for Venice-winning The Ditch. His epic 9 hour film Tie Xi Qu: West of the Tracks will also be shown as part of a retrospective.
