Director Philip Haas and famed artist David Hockney bring the bustling streets of three-hundred-year-old China to life through their analysis of a minutely detailed 72-foot long work of art, a 17th-century Chinese scroll painted by Wang Hui and assistants.

Hockney spins a dazzling discourse on Eastern and Western perspectives and their relationship to his own artistic vision.
