‘Ascension’ Documents China’s Haves, Have-Nots, And Everyone In Between DeadlineContenders
’s film examines the vast tide of humanity at the bottom of the economic scale, flowing into cities to take menial factory jobs; a growing middle class with aspirations of wealth creation; and the super-rich, China’s 1 percent.
“The film is loosely structured by ascending the class ladder,” Kingdon explained during a panel discussion for Deadline’s: The Nominees event. “But a lot of it was also showing the middle class and showing leisure time. I wanted it to not just be about production, but also about how people spend their free time and what the different forms of that can look like and what everyone’s working for and what pleasure can look like.
“You see extreme close-ups of people’s faces while they’re eating Spanish ham and drinking fine wines and eating chocolates,” said Kingdon, whose family on her mother’s side came from China originally. “And that’s kind of a juxtaposition of scale for me as well, because you see these huge, enormous wide shots and these extreme close-ups.”
