IFAI (伊比利亚当代艺术中心影像档案馆) 5月3日下午1点起将放映两部独立纪录片:


片名:《光头》
  作者:刘洋
  片长:113分钟
  制作:2008年
  
  作品简介:
  一个“光头”的自述,关于人生的最初的梦想,关于梦想与现实的差距,关于现实社会的种种……他曾两度入狱,他曾拥有纯真的爱情观,他也曾拥有如同你我一样的平凡人的理想与抱负,他甚至想成为拿破仑和希特勒,“你看拿破仑希特勒他们拿一地球,拥有整个地球。”
  出于他本初的念想——超越别人,拥有整个地球。然而,现实往往会扭曲人的初衷,“不在沉默中爆发,便在沉默中灭亡。”他在这两者之间难以抉择,所以,被迫沉沦。在社会现实中摸爬滚打,谁都在寻找,属于自己的一片,或阴雨连绵,或海阔天空。
  
  作者的话
  认识他也算是一种缘分,开始我只是在他店里买水果,但是他经常无意间和我提起他以前的一些事情,总是和我说道:“老子今天是被逼的,没有办法,想当年……”。这样的话让我对他十分的好奇。慢慢的去买水果的次数多了,交往也就深了,断断续续的听到一些故事的片段,关于他的梦想和爱情,还有使他至今都难以释怀的牢狱生活。我便认定他是一个有故事的人,一个有着不平常的故事的人。
  所以便有了这样一部记录片:记录一个平凡人的梦想,他曾想拥有别人没有的东西,他甚至想拥有整个地球;记录一个平凡人的爱情,他也曾拥有着纯真的爱情观;记录一个平凡人的经历,他曾生活在一片不自由的天空下,虽然他试图逃脱,也曾为此挣扎。
  他的体会是一般人体会不到的生活,这样的生活经历使他转变成为今天的他,正如他所说“法律是平等的,但人是不平等的”。梦想和现实的差距,让人体会出很多事情的真谛。

  Shaved Head
  Director: Liu Yang
  Length: 113 minutes
  Production: 2008
  
  Synopsis:
  A person named Shaved Head talks about himself and about his first dream, about the difference between dream and reality, about social realities....he was imprisoned twice, and had pure love, ambition and dreams like other ordinary people. He wanted to be like Napoleon and Hitler. “You see, the entire globe belonged to Napoleon and Hitler.”His earliest idea was to transcend other people and possess the world. But reality destroyed this thought. “What does not erupt in silence, dies in silence”. Sometimes, this is a difficult choice, and at first he was compelled to give up, to let his heart shrink. He lived in society, where everyone seeks their own place. Sometimes it’s rainy, sometimes it’s sunny.
  
  Artist Statement:
  Meeting him was fate. I met him when I went to his shop to buy fruit, and he told to me many things about his past. When I went to his shop, he often said: “Now I’m forced to sell fruit, I have no choice, like in the past….” This made me very curious. So I often bought fruit and our relationship became sincere. Now and then, he told me pieces of his story, his dreams and his loves, and how it’s difficult to forget his life in prison. I was sure he had many stories, unusual stories.
  So I made this documentary film: filmed an ordinary person’s dreams, someone who wanted things that no one else had, who wanted the whole globe, filmed an ordinary person’s love, pure love, filmed an ordinary person’s experience. He had freedom, he tried to escape life, and he struggled.
  He realized that ordinary people didn’t know the kind of life he was living. His experiences changed him into who he is today. He said, “The law is equal but the people are not”. Dream and reality are separate, so let everyone realize for himself the true significance of many things.
  
  Bio: Liu Yang was born in 1985 in Ling Chuan city in Jiang Xi Province. In 2004, he entered the New Media Department of China Academy of Art where he is a fourth year student. “Shaved Head” is his first long documentary film.




《我的村子2006年》
  作者:张焕财
  片长:90分钟
  制作:2007年
  

  作者及影片简介
  来自中国中部陕西省的张焕财,今年47岁,爱好文学和写作,属于村里的“秀才”。参加村民影像计划之后,开始使用DV摄像机,也是10个村民作者中最为勤奋拍摄的一个,到2007年,已经拍摄有超过100个小时的素材,内容都是生活在他周围的村民和故事。自2005年完成他的第一部纪录片短片后,又自己完成剪辑了自己的第一部长纪录片《我的村子2006》。片子里记录了作者周围村民的生活、劳作和喜怒哀乐,还有他和妻子之间的家庭生活、,两口子之间发生的如何让生活过得好一点的无穷无尽的唠叨、数落、玩笑、斗嘴中,最为日常的普通人的艰辛和盼望也蕴含其中。
  
  作者的话
  鸡一生下来就会刨食吃,会刨的或者是勤快的鸡会成为肥鸡,肥鸡也会把它的鸡娃养成肥鸡娃。我总觉得农民跟鸡是一样的,必须每天刨食吃,并且只有勤快的“刨食”或者会动脑子,才能过上比一般农民相对较好的日子。我自己就是一只不安分的“鸡”,我除了刨食之外,还梦想着高雅的文学和DV,于是,我就必然不可能成为“肥鸡”。而我的老婆与孩子就不能过上相对较好的日子。于是,我老婆说我不安分,而我的乡党有人讥笑我是“癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉”。其实在农村,不肯放弃梦想的人在一个村子总会有那么好几个,他们或者是爱字画,或者是爱戏剧与文学,由于他们跟我一样没有用全部精力“刨食吃”,所以必然不会成为“肥鸡”。我拍我的家庭生活,就是想反映农村里一大批想追求梦想的人的生活遭遇。另外,我还想拍出“鸡们”“刨食”的辛苦,因为不论是肥鸡、瘦鸡、或者不肥不瘦的鸡,他们的刨食生涯都很辛苦,反映了他们的辛苦,也等于反映了我的辛苦。这是我想拍《我的村子2006》的初衷。
  
  My Village in Year 2006
  Director: ZHANG Huancai
  90 mins/2007
  
  About the film and its director
  Zhang Huancai, a 47-year-old villager living in central China’s Shaanxi Province, enjoys literature and writing as well as a reputation of being the “Man of Letters” of his home village. Zhang learned to use a digital video camera when he joined the Villager Documentary Project in 2005 and has since become the most diligent of all ten villager participants. By 2007, Zhang has had over 100 hours of video footages in store, all of which are centered around his life and those of his village peers. Since completion of his first documentary short, Zhang shot and edited his first feature-length documentary My Village in Year 2006. This new film documents Zhang’s fellow villagers as they live their lives, manage their daily chores, and go through joys and sorrows. Zhang also shares with his audience moments of his family life, as he and his wife nag, tease, fight with each other while staggering on towards a possibly better-off future – typical hardship and hopes of the nation’s “rank and files.”
  
  Director’s Statement
  Chickens always seem to be able to find their way to food. Smart or hard-working chickens are soon well-fed and so are their kids. I think farmers are like chickens – they have to go and find food every single day and only the smart or diligent ones become better-off than their peers. I myself am a “chicken” who is never content with being just fed well. Yet apart from trying to bring home the bacons, I dream of indulging myself in high-brow literature and digital video filmmaking. As a result, I am not well-fed nor am I able to provide a good living for my wife and child. My wife always complains that I do not know where I belong, while some village folks sneer at my dreams as they think I am craving for what I am not worthy of. Well, in every village, there must be a handful few who refuse to abandon their dreams. They may choose to focus on calligraphy and art or on dramas and literature. Like me, they do not use their energy solely on “finding the food,” so they cannot possibly be well-fed either. When I film my family life, I mean to document what Life means to these dreamers who live in the countryside. Besides, I would like to also document how hard it is for “chickens,” be they well-fed, ill-fed or averagely-fed, to “find their food.” It has never been easy for any of the “chickens” to make a living. We all have our share of hardship. This was my entry point to the production of My Village in Year 2006.
