Due to Shanghai's regeneration scheme, old buildings are being demolished, and consequently almost 100 000 families are being forced to move each year. "Shanghai Shanghai" explores the human implications of the Shanghai Planning Office and its Property Developers operations. Photographs are composed and animated with documentary shots; the film proposes a voyage through the destruction of a district of the city.
