Story:
OLD MEN is an intimate ethnographic portrait of elderly men in China. In 1996, filmmaker Lina Yang, a graduate of the Art Academy of the People's Liberation Army and one of the few independent filmmakers working in China, moved into the Qing Ta district in Beijing where she noticed a fixture of the community - a group that gathered every day at the curbside. Finding a beauty in their appearance, she began to document these retirees, referring to them as Da ye - a Mandarin term of respect and endearment.
