Firstly, the very fact that it was able to operate this year is a triumph in itself, having been shut down by the authorities last year at the last moment. Though it\u2019s not an event which goes out of its way to court controversy or make political statements, many of the films screened have not received official approval from the Film Bureau of the State Administration for Radio, Film and Television (SARFT), and many deal with topics which might not be considered suitable, including crime, bullying and social disorder. Perhaps as a result, despite the festival attracting some very impressive guest directors, in terms of publicity it\u2019s a low-key affair, not widely advertised, even on the campus of Nanjing University of the Arts, where a flagship three day session was held \u2013 other events were also held in Dalian and Xiamen. Despite this, it was great to see the screenings in Nanjing being very well attended, most sessions pulling in more than fifty audience members, and many closer to a hundred. As such, the very fact of its continued existence and popularity in the face of such troubles, not to mention the difficulty of funding or finding sponsors for such a festival in China represents effort and passion that\u2019s praiseworthy indeed. <\/p>\n<p>\u8fd1\u671f\u7ed3\u675f\u7684\u7b2c\u5341\u5c4a\u4e2d\u56fd\u72ec\u7acb\u5f71\u50cf\u5e74\u5ea6\u5c55(CIFF)\uff0c\u8d85\u8d8a\u4e86\u7b80\u5355\u5e74\u5ea6\u5c55\u7684\u610f\u4e49\uff0c\u5176\u4e3b\u8981\u539f\u56e0\u6709\u4e24\u4e2a\u3002\u9996\u5148\uff0c\u8be5\u5e74\u5ea6\u5c55\u5728\u53bb\u5e74\u6d3b\u52a8\u9884\u8ba1\u4e3e\u884c\u524d\u5915\u88ab\u5b98\u65b9\u5f3a\u5236\u5173\u95ed\uff0c\u4eca\u5e74\u8be5\u5e74\u5ea6\u5c55\u80fd\u591f\u5982\u671f\u4e3e\u884c\uff0c\u672c\u8eab\u5c31\u662f\u4e00\u5927\u80dc\u5229\u3002\u867d\u7136\u6d3b\u52a8\u5e76\u4e0d\u523b\u610f\u6807\u699c\u4e89\u8bae\uff0c\u4e5f\u4e0d\u4f5c\u653f\u6cbb\u5ba3\u8a00\uff0c\u5927\u591a\u5c55\u6620\u7684\u5f71\u7247\u90fd\u662f\u6ca1\u6709\u83b7\u5f97\u4e2d\u56fd\u56fd\u5bb6\u5e7f\u7535\u603b\u5c40\u8bb8\u53ef\u7684\uff0c\u800c\u4e14\u5927\u591a\u5f71\u7247\u662f\u5173\u4e8e\u88ab\u8ba4\u4e3a\u975e\u6070\u5f53\u9898\u6750\u7684\u5185\u5bb9\uff0c\u5305\u62ec\u72af\u7f6a\u3001\u6b3a\u4fae\u3001\u548c\u793e\u4f1a\u4e0d\u7a33\u5b9a\u3002\u6216\u8bb8\u6b63\u662f\u56e0\u4e3a\u5982\u6b64\uff0c\u867d\u7136\u8be5\u5e74\u5ea6\u5c55\u9080\u8bf7\u5230\u4e86\u4f17\u591a\u5bfc\u6f14\u53c2\u52a0\uff0c\u4f46\u5728\u5176\u516c\u5171\u5ba3\u4f20\u65b9\u9762\u975e\u5e38\u4f4e\u8c03\uff0c\u6ca1\u6709\u5927\u89c4\u6a21\u7684\u5e7f\u544a\u3002\u5373\u4fbf\u5728\u672c\u5c4a\u5e74\u5ea6\u5c55\u7684\u5c55\u6620\u57ce\u5e02\u4e4b\u4e00\u5357\u4eac\u7684\u4e3b\u573a\u5730\uff0c\u5357\u4eac\u827a\u672f\u5b66\u9662\uff0c\u5173\u4e8e\u5e74\u5ea6\u5c55\u7684\u5ba3\u4f20\u4e5f\u662f\u4e0d\u592a\u663e\u773c\u3002\u5176\u4ed6\u7684\u5c55\u6620\u57ce\u5e02\u8fd8\u6709\u5927\u8fde\u548c\u53a6\u95e8\u3002\u5c3d\u7ba1\u5982\u6b64\uff0c\u8fd8\u662f\u5f88\u9ad8\u5174\u5730\u770b\u5230\u5357\u4eac\u7684\u5f71\u5c55\u89c2\u4f17\u4e0d\u5c11\uff0c\u5927\u591a\u573a\u6b21\u7684\u89c2\u4f17\u90fd\u8d85\u8fc7\u4e94\u5341\u4e2a\uff0c\u5f88\u591a\u90fd\u8fd1\u767e\u3002\u56e0\u6b64\uff0c\u8be5\u5e74\u5ea6\u5c55\u5728\u5982\u6b64\u8270\u96be\u7684\u5883\u51b5\u4e0b\u80fd\u591f\u575a\u6301\u5e76\u53d7\u6b22\u8fce\uff0c\u66f4\u4e0d\u7528\u63d0\u4e3a\u6d3b\u52a8\u5728\u8fd9\u6837\u7684\u73af\u5883\u4e2d\u5bfb\u6c42\u8d44\u91d1\u548c\u8d5e\u52a9\uff0c\u5176\u4f53\u73b0\u7684\u7ec4\u7ec7\u8005\u5bf9\u72ec\u7acb\u7535\u5f71\u7684\u52aa\u529b\u548c\u6fc0\u60c5\u5c31\u662f\u975e\u5e38\u503c\u5f97\u8d5e\u8d4f\u7684\u3002<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/chinesefilmfeststudies\/files\/2014\/01\/\u00a6i-\u00a2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/chinesefilmfeststudies\/files\/2014\/01\/\u00a6i-\u00a2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a6i-+-\u00a2\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/chinesefilmfeststudies\/files\/2014\/01\/\u00a6i-\u00a2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/chinesefilmfeststudies\/files\/2014\/01\/\u00a6i-\u00a2-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Secondly, CIFF offers a fascinating snapshot of the development of independent film making in China. \u2018Independent\u2019 is a word with many meanings, especially in a cinematic context, and while the indie scene is undoubtedly growing and maturing in China, it\u2019s running into complications and difficulties. Although Chinese indie films are enjoying an increasingly healthy presence and haul of awards at overseas festivals, these tend to be limited to a certain number of already established directors, who have previously received some manner of official recognition back home. For first time or upcoming directors, and those who have not submitted their films to SARFT, it\u2019s considerably more difficult, as sending their unapproved works to foreign festivals can result in serious repercussions, or even bans. As a result, there\u2019s a challenge to define what truly counts as \u2018independent\u2019 in Chinese cinema, and even more of a challenge for directors who try to work outside the system \u2013 funding, producing, releasing and screening films off the grid being no mean feat, directors often having to self-finance and commit to great personal sacrifice.<br \/>\n\u5176\u6b21\uff0cCIFF\u4e3a\u4e2d\u56fd\u72ec\u7acb\u7535\u5f71\u7684\u53d1\u5c55\u63d0\u4f9b\u4e86\u4e00\u4e2a\u7cbe\u5f69\u7684\u7a97\u53e3\u3002\u201c\u72ec\u7acb\u201d\u662f\u4e00\u4e2a\u5305\u542b\u4e86\u591a\u91cd\u610f\u4e49\u7684\u6982\u5ff5\uff0c\u7279\u522b\u662f\u5728\u5f71\u7247\u521b\u4f5c\u4e2d\u3002\u72ec\u7acb\u5f71\u7247\u5728\u4e2d\u56fd\u65e0\u7591\u5728\u53d1\u5c55\u548c\u6210\u719f\uff0c\u4f46\u4e5f\u9047\u5230\u4e86\u5404\u79cd\u95ee\u9898\u548c\u6311\u6218\u3002\u867d\u7136\u4e2d\u56fd\u72ec\u7acb\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u89c2\u4f17\u5728\u5065\u5eb7\u5730\u6210\u957f\uff0c\u5728\u6d77\u5916\u4e5f\u5c61\u5c61\u83b7\u5956\uff0c\u4f46\u8fd9\u4e9b\u5f71\u7247\u5927\u591a\u6765\u81ea\u540c\u6837\u7684\u4e00\u5c0f\u6279\u5bfc\u6f14\uff0c\u800c\u4e14\u8fd9\u4e9b\u5bfc\u6f14\u5927\u90fd\u5728\u4e2d\u56fd\u672c\u571f\u83b7\u5f97\u4e86\u4e00\u5b9a\u7684\u5b98\u65b9\u8ba4\u53ef\u3002\u5bf9\u4e8e\u65b0\u8fdb\u5bfc\u6f14\uff0c\u548c\u90a3\u4e9b\u6ca1\u6709\u83b7\u5f97\u56fd\u5bb6\u5e7f\u7535\u603b\u5c40\u8bb8\u53ef\u62cd\u6444\u7684\u7535\u5f71\u6765\u8bf4\uff0c\u4ed6\u4eec\u7684\u751f\u5b58\u66f4\u4e3a\u8270\u96be\u3002\u5c06\u4f5c\u54c1\u9001\u5f80\u56fd\u5916\u5f71\u5c55\u4f1a\u5f15\u8d77\u8f83\u5927\u7684\u9ebb\u70e6\uff0c\u751a\u81f3\u7981\u62cd\u3002\u56e0\u6b64\uff0c\u5982\u4f55\u5b9a\u4e49\u4f55\u8c13\u771f\u6b63\u7684\u201c\u72ec\u7acb\u201d\u4e2d\u56fd\u7535\u5f71\u662f\u5177\u6709\u6311\u6218\u6027\u7684\u3002\u800c\u5bf9\u5c1d\u8bd5\u5728\u4f53\u5236\u5916\u521b\u4f5c\u7684\u5bfc\u6f14\u6765\u8bf4\u5219\u66f4\u662f\u6311\u6218\uff0c\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u7b79\u8d44\u3001\u62cd\u6444\u3001\u53d1\u884c\u548c\u653e\u6620\u90fd\u9700\u8981\u4ed8\u51fa\u975e\u4e00\u822c\u7684\u52aa\u529b\uff0c\u5927\u591a\u5bfc\u6f14\u90fd\u9700\u8981\u81ea\u638f\u8170\u5305\uff0c\u5e76\u505a\u51fa\u5f88\u5927\u7684\u4e2a\u4eba\u727a\u7272\u3002<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/chinesefilmfeststudies\/files\/2014\/01\/\u00a6\u00a6\u00a62.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/chinesefilmfeststudies\/files\/2014\/01\/\u00a6\u00a6\u00a62-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"-\u00a6\u00a6\u00a62\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/chinesefilmfeststudies\/files\/2014\/01\/\u00a6\u00a6\u00a62-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/chinesefilmfeststudies\/files\/2014\/01\/\u00a6\u00a6\u00a62-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In this context, it was particularly pleasing to see such a variety of different types of films at CIFF this year, with a fascinating selection being screened at the Nanjing event.

The \u2018independent\u2019 banner covered a range of genres and techniques, from comedy to thriller, through to more art house works, and from commercially minded productions to the experimental, several films pushing what audiences might traditionally understand by the notion of film, as opposed to art. With films screened not only from the Mainland, but also from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the festival gave an overall impression of Chinese language speaking societies being in a state of flux, modernity and its shockwaves ringing in the changes both loudly and quietly, expressed by the directors in numerous ways.<br \/>\n\u5728\u8fd9\u6837\u7684\u73af\u5883\u4e2d\uff0c\u4eca\u5e74\u7684CIFF\u80fd\u9009\u51fa\u4e00\u6279\u98ce\u683c\u5982\u6b64\u4e30\u5bcc\u7684\u5f71\u7247\u4ee4\u4eba\u975e\u5e38\u6b23\u6170\uff0c\u5728\u5357\u4eac\u5c55\u6620\u7684\u7cbe\u9009\u4f5c\u54c1\u4ee4\u4eba\u76ee\u4e0d\u6687\u63a5\u3002\u5e74\u5ea6\u5c55\u7684\u5b97\u65e8\u662f\u63d0\u5021\u521b\u4f5c\u81ea\u7531\uff0c\u827a\u672f\u63a2\u7d22\uff0c\u793e\u4f1a\u8d23\u4efb\u611f\u3002\u5176\u653e\u6620\u7684\u5f71\u7247\u6b63\u662f\u5982\u6b64\uff0c\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u9898\u6750\u4e0d\u4ec5\u662f\u793e\u4f1a\u95ee\u9898\uff0c\u4e5f\u5305\u62ec\u7231\uff0c\u60c5\u611f\u548c\u6b63\u5728\u6539\u53d8\u7684\u4e2d\u56fd\u4f20\u7edf\u3002\u201c\u72ec\u7acb\u201d\u7684\u65d7\u5e1c\u4e0b\u6db5\u76d6\u4e86\u4e0d\u540c\u7684\u98ce\u683c\u548c\u6280\u5de7\uff0c\u4ece\u559c\u5267\u5230\u60ac\u7591\uff0c\u5230\u66f4\u827a\u672f\u98ce\u683c\u7684\u4f5c\u54c1\uff0c\u4ece\u6709\u5546\u4e1a\u53d1\u884c\u524d\u666f\u7684\u4f5c\u54c1\u5230\u66f4\u5b9e\u9a8c\u624b\u6cd5\u7684\uff0c\u597d\u4e9b\u5f71\u7247\u6311\u6218\u4e86\u89c2\u4f17\u5bf9\u4f20\u7edf\u7535\u5f71\u4e0e\u827a\u672f\u533a\u5206\u7684\u8ba4\u8bc6\u3002\u5165\u9009\u5f71\u7247\u9664\u4e86\u6765\u81ea\u4e2d\u56fd\u5927\u9646\u7684\uff0c\u4e5f\u6709\u9999\u6e2f\u548c\u53f0\u6e7e\u4f5c\u54c1\u3002\u5e74\u5ea6\u5c55\u5448\u73b0\u4e86\u5f53\u4eca\u534e\u8bed\u4e16\u754c\u5728\u6d41\u52a8\u3001\u73b0\u4ee3\u6027\u4ee5\u53ca\u5728\u5267\u70c8\u53d8\u5316\u4e2d\u7684\u60b8\u52a8\uff0c\u57fa\u8c03\u6709\u4e9b\u9ad8\u6602\uff0c\u6709\u4e9b\u4f4e\u56de\uff0c\u7531\u4e0d\u540c\u7684\u5bfc\u6f14\u4ee5\u591a\u6837\u7684\u624b\u6cd5\u8be0\u91ca\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, I wasn\u2019t able to catch all of the screenings, though what follows is a recap of the films and shorts I was fortunate enough to see.<br \/>\n\u5f88\u9057\u61be\uff0c\u6211\u672a\u80fd\u53c2\u52a0\u6240\u6709\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u653e\u6620\u3002\u4e0b\u9762\u662f\u4e00\u4e9b\u6211\u6709\u5e78\u770b\u5230\u7684\u957f\u77ed\u5f71\u7247\u56de\u987e\u3002<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/chinesefilmfeststudies\/files\/2014\/01\/\u00a6\u00f5\u00a2\u00a6\u00ca\u00c3-\u00a21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/chinesefilmfeststudies\/files\/2014\/01\/\u00a6\u00f5\u00a2\u00a6\u00ca\u00c3-\u00a21-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a6\u00f5\u00a2\u00a6\u00ca\u00c3-\u00a21\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/chinesefilmfeststudies\/files\/2014\/01\/\u00a6\u00f5\u00a2\u00a6\u00ca\u00c3-\u00a21-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/chinesefilmfeststudies\/files\/2014\/01\/\u00a6\u00f5\u00a2\u00a6\u00ca\u00c3-\u00a21-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Features\u957f\u7247<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow Comes Today<br \/>\nTaiwanese writer director Ming Lang Chen\u2019s \u201cTomorrow Comes Today\u201d is a cross cultural affair, following a young guy called Dah-Yi from Taiwan, working as a Chinese food delivery man in New York while searching for his mother, brandishing a picture of Marlene Dietrich at everyone he meets. Meanwhile, the film also follows his neighbour Wayne, recently dumped by his girlfriend and trying to forget her by listening to tapes on how to erase memories during his nightly work cleaning phone booths. It\u2019s very much in line with what many would expect from an indie film in the western or US sense, with a meandering plot, lots of symbolism \u2013 some clever, some clumsy \u2013 and plenty of whimsical touches as its two narrative strands crisscross. Though it doesn\u2019t always work, in general the film is quite charming, and Ming Lang Chen does manage to effectively make some interesting observations on the ways in which the east and west meet, diverge and balance. Through anecdotal details the film depicts connections and near-misses between strangers, their lives often mirroring each other while often remaining out of reach, and this similarly works well as a gentle cultural commentary that doesn\u2019t come packaged with easy answers. Some gorgeous cinematography also helps make the film very watchable, capturing the look and feel of New York through some atmospheric and grounded camera work. <\/p>\n<p>\u300a\u4f60\u7684\u4eca\u5929\u548c\u6211\u7684\u660e\u5929\u300b<br \/>\n\u53f0\u6e7e\u5bfc\u6f14\u9648\u654f\u90ce\u7684\u300a\u4f60\u7684\u4eca\u5929\u548c\u6211\u7684\u660e\u5929\u300b\u662f\u4e00\u90e8\u8de8\u6587\u5316\u9898\u6750\u7684\u4f5c\u54c1\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u8ddf\u968f\u4e86\u4e00\u4e2a\u6765\u81ea\u53f0\u6e7e\u540d\u53eb\u8fbe\u4e00\u7684\u5e74\u8f7b\u4eba\u3002\u4ed6\u4e00\u8fb9\u5728\u7ebd\u7ea6\u7684\u4e2d\u9910\u9986\u9001\u5916\u5356\uff0c\u4e00\u8fb9\u5bfb\u627e\u6bcd\u4eb2\uff0c\u89c1\u4eba\u5c31\u638f\u51fa\u4e00\u5f20\u4e09\u5341\u5e74\u4ee3\u597d\u83b1\u575e\u8457\u540d\u5fb7\u56fd\u660e\u661f\u739b\u7433\u2219\u9edb\u5fb7\u4e3d\u7684\u7167\u7247\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u53e6\u4e00\u4e2a\u4e3b\u4eba\u516c\u662f\u8fbe\u4e00\u7684\u90bb\u5c45\uff0c\u6000\u6069\u3002\u6000\u6069\u521a\u548c\u5973\u670b\u53cb\u5206\u624b\uff0c\u5728\u6bcf\u665a\u6e05\u6d17\u516c\u5171\u7535\u8bdd\u7684\u5de5\u4f5c\u4e2d\u542c\u7740\u5173\u4e8e\u5982\u4f55\u62b9\u53bb\u8bb0\u5fc6\u7684\u78c1\u5e26\uff0c\u4f01\u56fe\u5fd8\u8bb0\u524d\u5973\u53cb\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u662f\u5927\u591a\u897f\u65b9\u6216\u7f8e\u56fd\u5ba1\u7f8e\u4e2d\u6240\u719f\u6089\u7684\u72ec\u7acb\u5f71\u7247\u98ce\u683c\uff0c\u8fc2\u56de\u7684\u60c5\u8282\uff0c\u5927\u91cf\u7684\u8c61\u5f81 &#8212; \u6709\u4e9b\u5f88\u663e\u5fc3\u601d\uff0c\u6709\u4e9b\u5219\u6709\u70b9\u7b28\u62d9&#8211;\uff0c\u4ee5\u53ca\u4e24\u6761\u53d9\u4e8b\u7ebf\u5404\u79cd\u5929\u9a6c\u884c\u7a7a\u7684\u4ea4\u9519\u3002\u867d\u7136\u6709\u65f6\u5f71\u7247\u4e0d\u591f\u7cbe\u5f69\uff0c\u603b\u4f53\u6765\u8bf4\u8fd8\u662f\u4e00\u90e8\u4e0d\u9519\u7684\u4f5c\u54c1\u3002\u9648\u654f\u90ce\u5bf9\u4e1c\u897f\u65b9\u6587\u5316\u7684\u76f8\u9047\u3001\u5dee\u5f02\u548c\u5e73\u8861\u4f5c\u51fa\u4e86\u4e00\u4e9b\u6709\u610f\u601d\u7684\u89c2\u5bdf\u3002\u901a\u8fc7\u5404\u79cd\u9038\u4e8b\u7684\u7ec6\u8282\uff0c\u5f71\u7247\u8868\u73b0\u4e86\u964c\u751f\u4eba\u4e4b\u95f4\u7684\u8fde\u63a5\u4e0e\u9519\u5931\u3002\u4ed6\u4eec\u7684\u4eba\u751f\u4e92\u4e3a\u955c\u50cf\uff0c\u53c8\u5f7c\u6b64\u9694\u79bb\uff0c\u8fd9\u79cd\u8be0\u91ca\u66f4\u591a\u662f\u4e00\u79cd\u6e29\u67d4\u7684\u6587\u5316\u89e3\u8bfb\uff0c\u800c\u4e0d\u7ed9\u51fa\u660e\u786e\u7684\u7b54\u6848\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u955c\u5934\u975e\u5e38\u6f02\u4eae\uff0c\u4ee5\u5f88\u6709\u6c1b\u56f4\u611f\u548c\u624e\u5b9e\u7684\u6444\u5f71\u6293\u4f4f\u4e86\u7ebd\u7ea6\u7684\u5f62\u4e0e\u795e\uff0c\u56e0\u6b64\u4e5f\u4ee4\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u53ef\u770b\u5ea6\u589e\u52a0\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Fig<br \/>\n\u201cFig\u201d is the latest offering from Hong Kong indie film maker Vincent Chui, and stands out somewhat from the rest of the CIFF program in that it\u2019s arguably less of an independent production as such, having obviously enjoyed a fairly healthy budget, and boasting a script by Liu Siu Wah, who won the Hong Kong Film Festival Screenplay Award in 2009 for her work on Ann Hui on &#8220;The Way We Are&#8221;. The story revolves around a Hong Kong housewife called Ka, who leaves her stable though unhappy marriage after tragedy strikes her family, packing her suitcase and heading for Macau, where she takes a job working in a small laundrette. There, she strikes up a friendship with the younger Man, who is going through a crisis in her own life, falling out with her father for his moving on with his younger lover after the death of her mother. The two form an instant bond, which gradually develops into something more, with repercussions for both them and their families. <\/p>\n<p>Though not terribly ambitious, and having a fairly familiar feel, \u201cFig\u201d is nevertheless entertaining and thoughtful, Vincent Chui and Liu Siu Wah successfully portraying the complexities of modern relationships, families and connections. While some of its symbolism, including laundry as a way of washing away the past and flower pot changing as means of growth, is a little obvious, the film does have a few things to say, which it does in an amiable fashion. It\u2019s a warm and humanistic work, and the viewer gets pulled into the story and the characters\u2019 lives without too much fuss or manipulation as it builds towards an emotionally rewarding conclusion. Strong performances from the two female leads give the material a boost, and some beautiful visuals also help to distract from the film\u2019s shortcomings. <\/p>\n<p>\u300a\u65e0\u82b1\u679c\u300b<br \/>\n\u300a\u65e0\u82b1\u679c\u300b\u662f\u9999\u6e2f\u72ec\u7acb\u5bfc\u6f14\u5d14\u5141\u4fe1\u7684\u65b0\u4f5c\uff0c\u548cCIFF\u5728\u5357\u4eac\u653e\u6620\u7684\u5176\u5b83\u5f71\u7247\u76f8\u6bd4\uff0c\u662f\u663e\u5f97\u4e0d\u90a3\u4e48\u72ec\u7acb\u7684\u4e00\u4e2a\u5236\u4f5c\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u660e\u663e\u6709\u8f83\u4e3a\u5145\u88d5\u7684\u5236\u4f5c\u9884\u7b97\uff0c\u7f16\u5267\u4e3a\u66fe\u51ed\u8bb8\u978d\u534e\u300a\u5929\u6c34\u56f4\u7684\u65e5\u4e0e\u591c\u300b\u4e00\u7247\u83b7\u5f972009\u5e74\u9999\u6e2f\u7535\u5f71\u8282\u6700\u4f73\u7f16\u5267\u5956\u7684\u5415\u7b71\u534e\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u56f4\u7ed5\u7740\u4e00\u4f4d\u9999\u6e2f\u5bb6\u5ead\u4e3b\u5987\uff0c\u5bb6\uff0c\u5c55\u5f00\u3002\u5728\u5bb6\u5ead\u60b2\u5267\u540e\uff0c\u5bb6\u6536\u62fe\u884c\u674e\u79bb\u5f00\u4e86\u5979\u7a33\u5b9a\u5374\u4e0d\u5e78\u798f\u7684\u5a5a\u59fb\u3002\u5979\u53ea\u8eab\u56de\u5230\u6fb3\u95e8\uff0c\u5e76\u5f00\u59cb\u5728\u4e00\u95f4\u5c0f\u6d17\u8863\u623f\u4e0a\u73ed\u3002\u5728\u8fd9\u91cc\uff0c\u5979\u9082\u9005\u4e86\u4e00\u4f4d\u5e74\u8f7b\u5973\u5b50\u654f\u3002\u654f\u4e5f\u6b63\u7ecf\u5386\u7740\u4e00\u573a\u5bb6\u5ead\u5371\u673a\uff0c\u5979\u65e0\u6cd5\u9762\u5bf9\u6bcd\u4eb2\u6b7b\u540e\u7236\u4eb2\u5e74\u8f7b\u7684\u60c5\u4eba\u642c\u8fdb\u5bb6\u4e2d\uff0c\u800c\u4e0e\u7236\u4eb2\u51b3\u88c2\u3002\u4e24\u4eba\u5f88\u5feb\u76f8\u4ea4\uff0c\u5e76\u9010\u6e10\u53d1\u5c55\u51fa\u66f4\u6df1\u7684\u611f\u60c5\uff0c\u4ee4\u4e24\u4eba\u7684\u5bb6\u5ead\u90fd\u88ab\u6ce2\u53ca\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\u867d\u7136\u4e0d\u662f\u7279\u522b\u6709\u91ce\u5fc3\uff0c\u800c\u4e14\u611f\u89c9\u8fc7\u4e8e\u719f\u6089\uff0c\u300a\u65e0\u82b1\u679c\u300b\u4ecd\u7136\u662f\u4e00\u90e8\u517c\u5177\u5a31\u4e50\u6027\u548c\u601d\u8003\u6027\u7684\u5f71\u7247\u3002\u5d14\u5141\u4fe1\u548c\u5415\u7b71\u534e\u6210\u529f\u7684\u63cf\u753b\u4e86\u73b0\u4ee3\u611f\u60c5\u3001\u5bb6\u5ead\u548c\u4eba\u9645\u5173\u7cfb\u7684\u590d\u6742\u3002\u867d\u7136\u6709\u4e9b\u8c61\u5f81\u6709\u4e9b\u592a\u6d45\u767d\uff0c\u4f8b\u5982\u6d17\u8863\u623f\u4ee3\u8868\u7740\u6d17\u5237\u8fc7\u53bb\uff0c\u6362\u82b1\u76c6\u610f\u5473\u7740\u6210\u957f\uff0c\u5f71\u7247\u786e\u5b9e\u8868\u8fbe\u4e86\u4e0d\u5c11\u60f3\u6cd5\uff0c\u800c\u4e14\u8868\u8fbe\u65b9\u5f0f\u6613\u4e3a\u4eba\u63a5\u53d7\u3002\u8fd9\u662f\u4e00\u90e8\u6e29\u60c5\u800c\u5177\u4eba\u6587\u5173\u6000\u7684\u5f71\u7247\uff0c\u89c2\u4f17\u4eec\u5728\u5e76\u4e0d\u523b\u610f\u7684\u53d9\u4e8b\u4e2d\u5f88\u5feb\u88ab\u4e24\u4f4d\u4e3b\u4eba\u516c\u7684\u6545\u4e8b\u5438\u5f15\uff0c\u76f4\u5230\u6700\u540e\u8fbe\u5230\u4e00\u4e2a\u6e29\u99a8\u7684\u7ed3\u5c40\u3002\u4e24\u4f4d\u5973\u4e3b\u89d2\u51fa\u8272\u7684\u8868\u6f14\u4e3a\u5f71\u7247\u589e\u8272\u4e0d\u5c11\uff0c\u4e00\u4e9b\u6f02\u4eae\u7684\u753b\u9762\u4e5f\u906e\u76d6\u4e86\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u4e0d\u8db3\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Today My Mother will get Married<br \/>\nMainland film maker and former documentarian Jin Ye makes his feature debut with \u201cToday My Mother will Get Married\u201d, a gritty look at the cruelty enacted by and experienced by adolescents and outsiders. Set in a small, rundown town, the film follows a young boy called Cao Zi, who along with his two friends Jiu Yi and Hou decides to try and stop his mother\u2019s marriage to local rich businessman Zhu Laosan. Trying various ways to get money, including the theft of a French horn and the failed robbery of a taxi driver, the three team with Zhu\u2019s daughter Xia and fake a kidnapping on the day of the wedding in a last ditch attempt to derail things. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday My Mother will Get Married\u201d is a fantastic film, and a tough, challenging look at the emergence of a generation of lost adolescents, left largely to their devices while their parents try and earn money, and who have little hope of an economic future themselves. Jin Ye\u2019s experience in documentary film making shines through, as he shoots with a gritty, realistic eye, and the film is never less than utterly convincing, in no small part due to the excellent performances from the young actors. There\u2019s an air of nihilism to the proceedings, the story not only depicting the problems caused and faced by the characters, but also searching for the reasons behind their behaviour. Social concerns balance superbly with narrative tension, and the film works both as commentary and as a drama in the more traditional sense. Though the film has authentic local colour and culture and is very much rooted in modern Chinese issues, there\u2019s a pleasing universality to its cautionary tale, and its subject matter should be recognised by viewers from any country. <\/p>\n<p>\u300a\u4eca\u5929\u6211\u5988\u8981\u5ac1\u4eba\u300b<br \/>\n\u6765\u81ea\u4e2d\u56fd\u5927\u9646\u7684\u8d44\u6df1\u7eaa\u5f55\u7247\u5bfc\u6f14\u91d1\u4e5f\u7684\u5904\u5973\u5267\u60c5\u957f\u7247\u4f5c\u54c1\u300a\u4eca\u5929\u6211\u5988\u8981\u5ac1\u4eba\u300b\uff0c\u4ee5\u4e00\u79cd\u7c97\u7c9d\u7684\u98ce\u683c\u5c55\u73b0\u4e86\u9752\u5c11\u5e74\u548c\u5916\u6765\u8005\u6240\u7ecf\u5386\u5e76\u53c8\u6267\u884c\u7684\u6b8b\u9177\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u53d1\u751f\u5728\u4e00\u4e2a\u6ca1\u843d\u7684\u5c0f\u9547\uff0c\u8bb2\u8ff0\u4e86\u5c11\u5e74\u66f9\u5b50\u548c\u4e24\u4e2a\u6b7b\u515a\u4e5d\u4e00\u548c\u4faf\u5f1f\u4e00\u8d77\u8bd5\u56fe\u963b\u6b62\u4ed6\u5988\u5988\u5ac1\u7ed9\u5f53\u5730\u5bcc\u5546\u6731\u8001\u4e09\u7684\u6545\u4e8b\u3002\u4ed6\u4eec\u60f3\u5c3d\u5404\u79cd\u529e\u6cd5\u627e\u94b1\uff0c\u5305\u62ec\u6210\u529f\u5730\u62a2\u5230\u5706\u53f7\uff0c\u548c\u5931\u8d25\u5730\u6253\u52ab\u7684\u58eb\u53f8\u673a\u3002\u4e09\u4eba\u6700\u540e\u548c\u6731\u8001\u4e09\u7684\u5973\u513f\u5c0f\u590f\u4e00\u8d77\u4e0a\u6f14\u4e86\u4e00\u51fa\u5047\u7ed1\u67b6\u4e8b\u4ef6\uff0c\u4ee5\u56fe\u80fd\u963b\u6b62\u5a5a\u793c\u7684\u8fdb\u884c\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\u300a\u4eca\u5929\u6211\u5988\u8981\u5ac1\u4eba\u300b\u662f\u4e00\u90e8\u7cbe\u5f69\u7684\u4f5c\u54c1\uff0c\u4ee5\u4e25\u9177\u5e76\u5177\u6311\u6218\u6027\u7684\u76ee\u5149\u5ba1\u89c6\u4e86\u8ff7\u5931\u7684\u4e00\u4ee3\u5c11\u5e74\u3002\u4ed6\u4eec\u7684\u5bb6\u957f\u5fd9\u4e8e\u8d5a\u94b1\u800c\u758f\u5ffd\u4e86\u4ed6\u4eec\uff0c\u4ed6\u4eec\u81ea\u5df1\u5374\u6ca1\u6709\u591a\u5c11\u5b9e\u5728\u7684\u672a\u6765\u3002\u91d1\u4e5f\u7684\u7eaa\u5f55\u7247\u62cd\u6444\u7ecf\u9a8c\u4ee4\u6574\u4e2a\u5f71\u7247\u95ea\u8000\u8d77\u6765\uff0c\u5f71\u7247\u4ee5\u7c97\u7c9d\u800c\u771f\u5b9e\u7684\u98ce\u683c\u62cd\u6444\uff0c\u56e0\u6b64\u975e\u5e38\u5177\u6709\u8bf4\u670d\u529b\uff0c\u8fd9\u4e5f\u5f97\u529b\u4e8e\u5c0f\u6f14\u5458\u4eec\u6770\u51fa\u7684\u8868\u6f14\u3002\u6574\u4e2a\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u63a8\u8fdb\u6709\u4e00\u79cd\u865a\u65e0\u4e3b\u4e49\u7684\u6c1b\u56f4\uff0c\u5f71\u7247\u4e0d\u4ec5\u8868\u73b0\u4e86\u4e3b\u4eba\u516c\u4eec\u9047\u5230\u53c8\u5236\u9020\u7684\u95ee\u9898\uff0c\u540c\u65f6\u4e5f\u63a2\u6c42\u4e86\u4ed6\u4eec\u884c\u4e3a\u80cc\u540e\u7684\u539f\u56e0\u3002\u73b0\u5b9e\u6279\u5224\u548c\u53d9\u4e8b\u5f20\u529b\u4fdd\u6301\u4e86\u7edd\u4f73\u7684\u5e73\u8861\uff0c\u56e0\u6b64\u5f71\u7247\u4e5f\u8fbe\u5230\u4e86\u4f20\u7edf\u610f\u4e49\u4e0a\u7535\u5f71\u8bc4\u8bba\u4e0e\u53d9\u4e8b\u7684\u53cc\u91cd\u529f\u80fd\u3002\u867d\u7136\u5f71\u7247\u5e26\u6709\u6d53\u70c8\u7684\u5730\u65b9\u8272\u5f69\u4e14\u6839\u690d\u4e8e\u73b0\u4ee3\u4e2d\u56fd\u7684\u95ee\u9898\uff0c\u5176\u8b66\u793a\u610f\u5473\u7684\u6545\u4e8b\u4e5f\u6709\u4e00\u79cd\u4ee4\u4eba\u6b23\u559c\u7684\u8de8\u6587\u5316\u9b45\u529b\u3002\u6545\u4e8b\u7684\u4e3b\u9898\u5e94\u8be5\u4f1a\u8ba9\u4efb\u4f55\u56fd\u5bb6\u7684\u89c2\u4f17\u90fd\u8ba4\u540c\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Emperor Visits the Hell<br \/>\nIn the name of disclosure, I must admit that Li Luo\u2019s \u201cEmperor Visits the Hell\u201d is a little difficult for me to review, given that I\u2019m not hugely familiar with the source material, the classic Chinese story of Emperor Li Shimin, his voyage to the underworld and eventual return to life, which comprises three chapters of \u201cJourney to the West\u201d. However, there\u2019s still a great deal to be impressed by here, the film playing out in modern day China, in bold black and white and with settings that put the story into a new and challenging context. Even without knowledge of the original narrative, the film is a lot of fun to watch and ponder over, with its strong script often being quite deliberately at odds with the contemporary locations, in way which is both relevant and blackly humorous. Li Luo\u2019s direction is taut, giving many scenes a disquieting and tense feel, and combined with the bleak, though attractive visuals, this makes it an intriguing watch, if not a particularly accessible one for the sadly uninitiated. <\/p>\n<p>\u300a\u5510\u7687\u6e38\u5730\u5e9c\u300b<br \/>\n\u9996\u5148\u9700\u8981\u89e3\u91ca\uff0c\u6211\u627f\u8ba4\u5199\u674e\u7edc\u7684\u300a\u5510\u7687\u6e38\u5730\u5e9c\u300b\u8bc4\u8bba\u6709\u4e9b\u56f0\u96be\u3002\u6211\u5bf9\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u539f\u6750\u6599\u5b8c\u5168\u4e0d\u4e86\u89e3\uff0c\u4e2d\u56fd\u53e4\u4ee3\u7687\u5e1d\u674e\u4e16\u6c11\u6e38\u5730\u5e9c\u53c8\u91cd\u56de\u9633\u95f4\u7684\u6545\u4e8b\uff0c\u53d6\u6750\u4e8e\u300a\u897f\u6e38\u8bb0\u300b\u7684\u4e09\u4e2a\u7ae0\u8282\u3002\u5373\u4f7f\u5982\u6b64\uff0c\u8be5\u5f71\u7247\u4ecd\u7136\u7ed9\u6211\u7559\u4e0b\u4e86\u5f88\u6df1\u7684\u5370\u8c61\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u4ee5\u73b0\u4ee3\u4e2d\u56fd\u4e3a\u80cc\u666f\uff0c\u4ee5\u5927\u80c6\u7684\u9ed1\u767d\u7247\u624b\u6cd5\u5c06\u6545\u4e8b\u5efa\u7acb\u4e8e\u4e00\u4e2a\u65b0\u9c9c\u53c8\u5177\u6311\u6218\u6027\u7684\u8bed\u5883\u3002\u5373\u4fbf\u5bf9\u4e8e\u539f\u672c\u7684\u6545\u4e8b\u4e00\u65e0\u6240\u77e5\uff0c\u8be5\u5f71\u7247\u4ecd\u7136\u662f\u5999\u8da3\u6a2a\u751f\u5e76\u4e14\u4ee4\u4eba\u601d\u8003\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u6709\u529b\u7684\u5267\u672c\u523b\u610f\u4e0e\u5f53\u4e0b\u7684\u573a\u666f\u76f8\u6096\uff0c\u65e2\u6709\u73b0\u5b9e\u610f\u4e49\u4e5f\u5145\u6ee1\u9ed1\u8272\u5e7d\u9ed8\u3002\u674e\u7edc\u7684\u5bfc\u6f14\u662f\u7d27\u81f4\u7684\uff0c\u8bb8\u591a\u573a\u666f\u90fd\u6709\u4e00\u79cd\u4ee4\u4eba\u4e0d\u5b89\u548c\u7d27\u5f20\u7684\u611f\u89c9\u3002\u914d\u4e0a\u6734\u62d9\u5374\u5438\u5f15\u773c\u7403\u7684\u753b\u9762\uff0c\u8fd9\u662f\u4e00\u90e8\u5f15\u4eba\u5165\u80dc\u7684\u5f71\u7247\uff0c\u867d\u7136\u53ef\u80fd\u5bf9\u4e8e\u4e0d\u4e86\u89e3\u4e2d\u56fd\u6587\u5316\u7684\u89c2\u4f17\u6765\u8bf4\u6709\u4e9b\u96be\u61c2\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Distant<br \/>\nYang Zhengfan\u2019s \u201cDistant\u201d is a very different proposition indeed, and though selected as a feature, it\u2019s arguably more of an artistic experiment. Lasting 88 minutes, it\u2019s made up of 13 separate, static long shot, dialogue-free takes, in which the viewer is challenged to interpret what is happening. While some of the shorts are fairly obvious, others are frankly baffling, and as a result, though what Yang has tried to achieve is admirable enough, it\u2019s very slow and difficult watch that would perhaps have served better as an installation. As the title suggests, the film attempts to confront the viewer with a realisation of their distance from the changes happening to the world as a result of modernity, playing around with ideas of time and space, though still, at nearly an hour and a half, it\u2019s an idea which works better in theory than practice. <\/p>\n<p>\u300a\u8fdc\u65b9\u300b<br \/>\n\u6768\u6b63\u5e06\u7684\u300a\u8fdc\u65b9\u300b\u7684\u786e\u662f\u4e00\u90e8\u975e\u5e38\u53e6\u7c7b\u7684\u4f5c\u54c1\uff0c\u867d\u7136\u5165\u9009\u957f\u7247\u7ade\u8d5b\uff0c\u4f46\u5374\u6709\u66f4\u662f\u4e00\u4e2a\u827a\u672f\u5b9e\u9a8c\u7247\u7684\u4e89\u8bae\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u957f\u5ea6\u4e3a88\u5206\u949f\uff0c\u753113\u4e2a\u955c\u5934\u7ec4\u6210\uff0c\u955c\u5934\u4e4b\u95f4\u4e92\u4e0d\u76f8\u5173\uff0c\u9759\u6b62\u62cd\u6444\u4e14\u6ca1\u6709\u5bf9\u767d\uff0c\u6311\u6218\u89c2\u5f71\u8005\u81ea\u5df1\u53bb\u8be0\u91ca\u5f71\u7247\u4e2d\u53d1\u751f\u7684\u4e00\u5207\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u90e8\u5206\u955c\u5934\u6bd4\u8f83\u5bb9\u6613\u7406\u89e3\uff0c\u5176\u4ed6\u7684\u5219\u4ee4\u4eba\u6323\u624e\u3002\u56e0\u6b64\u867d\u7136\u6768\u6b63\u5e06\u5e0c\u671b\u8fbe\u5230\u7684\u76ee\u6807\u662f\u4ee4\u4eba\u4f69\u670d\u7684\uff0c\u5f71\u7247\u975e\u5e38\u7f13\u6162\u4e14\u4ee4\u89c2\u8005\u96be\u4ee5\u575a\u6301\uff0c\u6216\u8bb8\u4f5c\u4e3a\u4e00\u4e2a\u5f71\u50cf\u88c5\u7f6e\u66f4\u5408\u9002\u3002\u5982\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u7247\u540d\u6240\u63d0\u793a\u7684\uff0c\u5f71\u7247\u8bd5\u56fe\u4ee4\u89c2\u8005\u76f4\u9762\u4ed6\u4eec\u548c\u5f53\u4e0b\u4e16\u754c\u53d1\u751f\u7684\u4e8b\u60c5\u65e0\u6cd5\u8de8\u8d8a\u7684\u8ddd\u79bb\uff0c\u5f71\u7247\u73a9\u5473\u4e86\u65f6\u95f4\u4e0e\u7a7a\u95f4\u7684\u6982\u5ff5\u3002\u5c3d\u7ba1\u5982\u6b64\uff0c\u5c06\u8fd1\u4e00\u4e2a\u534a\u5c0f\u65f6\u7684\u5f71\u7247\uff0c\u6216\u8bb8\u592a\u8fc7\u7406\u60f3\u5316\uff0c\u5b9e\u8df5\u8fd8\u662f\u4e0d\u6210\u529f\u7684\u3002<\/p>\n<p>One Pillow One Soul<br \/>\nZu Songsong\u2019s \u201cOne Pillow, One Soul\u201d, is more of a straightforward, typically low key indie feature, which charts the conflict in family brought about by the decision whether or not to move the ancestral tomb after nearby demolition is announced. Set in a rural community, the story sees the family head Changgen trying to convince his brothers to agree, while dealing with a fake feng shui expert and negotiating with a neighbour to allow him to move the graves to his land. The film\u2019s subject matter is interesting, and Zu Songsong uses the premise to explore the ways in which old traditions in rural China are both surviving and adapting to the modern era, superstition and feudal attitudes clashing with the unstoppable tide of so-called progress. At the same time, the troubles which arise within the family and with the other locals presents an unflattering picture of the stubbornness of human nature, most of the characters being driven by self-interest. It\u2019s shot with an authentic and atmospheric feel, Zu showing a great eye for details and achieving a look which is both artistic and almost documentary-like. <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, undermining this good work is a very slow pace, and a meandering narrative, which makes it hard going at times, especially during a very drawn out middle section. Many scenes could definitely have done with trimming, there being long stretches of dialogue which, though perhaps realistic, are hard to follow and superfluous, distancing the viewer from what could otherwise have been a more involving tale. This is a real shame, as Zu is clearly a talented director, and with \u201cOne Pillow, One Soul\u201d being his debut, he\u2019ll hopefully find more focus in his next outing. <\/p>\n<p>\u300a\u6795\u5934\u300b<br \/>\n\u4fce\u677e\u677e\u7684\u300a\u6795\u5934\u300b\u662f\u4e00\u90e8\u76f4\u63a5\u800c\u4e14\u5178\u578b\u7684\u4f4e\u8c03\u72ec\u7acb\u957f\u7247\uff0c\u8bb2\u8ff0\u4e86\u4e00\u4e2a\u5bb6\u5ead\u56e0\u4e3a\u62c6\u8fc1\u800c\u9700\u8981\u8fc1\u7956\u575f\u7684\u6545\u4e8b\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u53d1\u751f\u5728\u519c\u6751\uff0c\u4e00\u5bb6\u4e4b\u4e3b\u957f\u6839\u4e00\u9762\u529d\u8bf4\u4ed6\u7684\u5f1f\u5f1f\u4eec\u540c\u610f\uff0c\u4e00\u9762\u548c\u4e00\u4e2a\u4f2a\u98ce\u6c34\u5e08\u8054\u7cfb\uff0c\u5e76\u548c\u90bb\u5c45\u4e3a\u4e86\u80fd\u8ba9\u7956\u575f\u8fc1\u5165\u4ed6\u5bb6\u7684\u5730\u91cc\u4ea4\u6d89\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u53d6\u6750\u662f\u6709\u610f\u601d\u7684\uff0c\u4fce\u677e\u677e\u7528\u8fd9\u6837\u7684\u6846\u67b6\u63a2\u8ba8\u4e86\u4f20\u7edf\u5728\u4e2d\u56fd\u519c\u6751\u7684\u751f\u5b58\u4ee5\u53ca\u5176\u4e0e\u73b0\u4ee3\u793e\u4f1a\u7684\u8c03\u548c\uff0c\u8ff7\u4fe1\u4e0e\u5c01\u5efa\u601d\u60f3\u4e0e\u4e0d\u53ef\u9006\u8f6c\u7684\u6240\u8c13\u8fdb\u6b65\u7684\u78b0\u649e\u3002\u540c\u65f6\uff0c\u4e8b\u4ef6\u5f15\u51fa\u7684\u5bb6\u5ead\u5185\u90e8\u4ee5\u53ca\u4e0e\u5176\u4ed6\u6751\u6c11\u4e4b\u95f4\u7684\u77db\u76fe\uff0c\u4e5f\u663e\u793a\u4e86\u4eba\u6027\u7684\u56fa\u6267\uff0c\u7247\u4e2d\u5927\u90e8\u5206\u4eba\u7269\u90fd\u662f\u4e3b\u8981\u8003\u8651\u81ea\u8eab\u5229\u76ca\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u955c\u5934\u62cd\u6444\u6709\u539f\u521b\u98ce\u683c\uff0c\u4fce\u677e\u677e\u8868\u73b0\u51fa\u5bf9\u7ec6\u8282\u7684\u6355\u6349\u80fd\u529b\uff0c\u4ee4\u5f71\u7247\u540c\u65f6\u5177\u6709\u827a\u672f\u611f\u548c\u7eaa\u5f55\u7247\u7684\u771f\u5b9e\u611f\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\u4e0d\u5e78\u7684\u662f\uff0c\u8fd9\u6837\u4e00\u90e8\u597d\u7684\u4f5c\u54c1\u88ab\u8fc7\u6162\u7684\u8282\u594f\u548c\u8fc2\u56de\u7684\u53d9\u4e8b\u62d6\u7d2f\u4e86\uff0c\u4ee4\u89c2\u8005\u6709\u65f6\u96be\u4ee5\u7ee7\u7eed\uff0c\u7279\u522b\u662f\u5f71\u7247\u4e2d\u540e\u90e8\u5206\u3002\u5f88\u591a\u955c\u5934\u7edd\u5bf9\u9700\u8981\u526a\u77ed\uff0c\u8fd8\u6709\u5f88\u591a\u5927\u6bb5\u7684\u5bf9\u767d\uff0c\u53ef\u80fd\u8f83\u4e3a\u771f\u5b9e\uff0c\u4f46\u56e0\u5197\u957f\u800c\u5f71\u54cd\u89c2\u770b\uff0c\u4ee4\u89c2\u4f17\u4eec\u65e0\u6cd5\u63a5\u8fd1\u8fd9\u6837\u4e00\u4e2a\u672c\u8be5\u5f88\u5438\u5f15\u4eba\u7684\u6545\u4e8b\u3002\u8fd9\u662f\u5f71\u7247\u7684\u4e00\u5927\u9057\u61be\uff0c\u56e0\u4e3a\u79df\u677e\u677e\u660e\u663e\u662f\u4e00\u4e2a\u6709\u624d\u534e\u7684\u5bfc\u6f14\u3002\u300a\u6795\u5934\u300b\u662f\u4ed6\u7684\u5904\u5973\u4f5c\uff0c\u5e0c\u671b\u4ed6\u5728\u4e0b\u4e00\u90e8\u4f5c\u54c1\u4e2d\u80fd\u66f4\u96c6\u4e2d\u5267\u60c5\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Shorts\u77ed\u7247<\/p>\n<p>The Hammer and Sickle are Sleeping<br \/>\nSet in a small, snowbound rural village, writer director Geng Jun\u2019s \u201cThe Hammer and Sickle are Sleeping\u201d is a great example of how to combine social commentary with entertainment. Revolving around three would-be bad guys who try to scratch out a living through various petty crimes, though the story doesn\u2019t really go anywhere, it offers a very effective take on modern morality. The three are likeable despite their obvious flaws and weaknesses, and though their incompetence makes for some great comedy, the film also has a humanistic and vaguely depressing air, its banal savagery being driven by desperation rather than any deep rooted evil. Geng Jun directs with real artistry, making great use of the local scenery, and the fifty two minute film is accomplished and well-made. <\/p>\n<p>\u300a\u9524\u5b50\u9570\u5200\u90fd\u4f11\u606f\u300b<br \/>\n\u62cd\u6444\u4e8e\u4e00\u4e2a\u5927\u96ea\u8986\u76d6\u7684\u5c0f\u6751\u5e84\uff0c\u7f16\u5267\u5bfc\u6f14\u803f\u519b\u7684\u300a\u9524\u5b50\u9570\u5200\u90fd\u4f11\u606f\u300b\u662f\u4e00\u90e8\u878d\u5408\u793e\u4f1a\u6279\u5224\u4e0e\u5a31\u4e50\u89c2\u8d4f\u7684\u5178\u8303\u3002\u5f71\u7247\u56f4\u7ed5\u7740\u4e09\u4e2a\u5c06\u8981\u505a\u574f\u4eba\u7684\u6c49\u5b50\uff0c\u4ee5\u5404\u79cd\u5c0f\u6253\u5c0f\u95f9\u7684\u72af\u7f6a\u624b\u6bb5\u7ef4\u6301\u751f\u8ba1\u3002\u867d\u7136\u5e76\u6ca1\u6709\u660e\u663e\u7684\u8d70\u5411\uff0c\u5f71\u7247\u6709\u529b\u7684\u5c55\u73b0\u4e86\u73b0\u4ee3\u9053\u5fb7\u7684\u6545\u4e8b\u3002\u4e09\u4e2a\u4eba\u7269\u5c3d\u7ba1\u6709\u5404\u79cd\u7f3a\u9677\u548c\u5f31\u70b9\uff0c\u8fd8\u662f\u8ba8\u89c2\u4f17\u559c\u7231\u3002\u4e00\u65b9\u9762\u4ed6\u4eec\u7684\u65e0\u80fd\u9020\u51fa\u4ee4\u4eba\u4e0d\u7981\u7684\u559c\u5267\uff0c\u53e6\u4e00\u65b9\u9762\u7247\u5b50\u4e5f\u5145\u6ee1\u4eba\u6587\u5173\u6000\u548c\u82e5\u6709\u82e5\u65e0\u7684\u538b\u6291\uff0c\u8fd9\u79cd\u4f4e\u7ea7\u72af\u7f6a\u66f4\u591a\u5730\u6e90\u4e8e\u65e0\u671b\uff0c\u800c\u4e0d\u662f\u6df1\u6839\u7684\u90aa\u6076\u3002\u803f\u519b\u7684\u5bfc\u6f14\u662f\u771f\u6b63\u7684\u827a\u672f\uff0c\u5bf9\u5f53\u5730\u666f\u81f4\u7684\u5145\u5206\u5229\u7528\uff0c\u4ee4\u8fd9\u90e852\u5206\u949f\u7684\u5f71\u7247\u6210\u4e3a\u4e00\u90e8\u96be\u5f97\u7684\u4f73\u4f5c\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Butter Lamp<br \/>\nEven without any English subtitles, Hu Wei\u2019s \u201cButter Lamp\u201d is still an intelligent and fun short.

Amusing and very effective, this device allows Hu to create a playful sense of place and to comment on changing traditions. The reactions of the subjects are fascinating to watch, and thankfully the film never comes across as manipulative or exploitative, but rather as an honest and thoughtful effort, and as a very original and creative means of getting his message across. <\/p>\n<p>\u300a\u9165\u6cb9\u706f\u300b<br \/>\n\u5373\u4f7f\u6ca1\u6709\u82f1\u6587\u5b57\u5e55\uff0c\u80e1\u4f1f\u7684\u300a\u9165\u6cb9\u706f\u300b\u4ecd\u7136\u770b\u5f97\u51fa\u6765\u662f\u4e00\u90e8\u5145\u6ee1\u4e86\u667a\u6167\u548c\u6b22\u4e50\u7684\u77ed\u7247\u3002\u62cd\u6444\u4e8e\u897f\u85cf\uff0c\u5f71\u7247\u7531\u4e00\u4e2a\u56fa\u5b9a\u6444\u50cf\u673a\u5b8c\u6210\u3002\u5404\u79cd\u5404\u6837\u7684\u6751\u6c11\u548c\u7267\u6c11\u5728\u4e00\u5f20\u5f20\u5de8\u5e45\u7684\u98ce\u666f\u753b\u9762\u524d\u7167\u76f8\uff0c\u8fd9\u4e9b\u98ce\u666f\u6709\u5404\u79cd\u8457\u540d\u56fd\u9645\u548c\u5f53\u5730\u540d\u80dc\u3002\u5bcc\u6709\u5e7d\u9ed8\u611f\u800c\u4e14\u975e\u5e38\u6709\u529b\uff0c\u8fd9\u4e2a\u65b9\u5f0f\u8ba9\u80e1\u4f1f\u521b\u9020\u51fa\u4e00\u4e2a\u73a9\u5473\u610f\u4e49\u7684\u7a7a\u95f4\u6765\u89e3\u8bfb\u6539\u53d8\u7684\u4f20\u7edf\u3002\u7167\u76f8\u7684\u4eba\u4eec\u7684\u53cd\u5e94\u6781\u4e3a\u6709\u8da3\uff0c\u800c\u4e14\u5f88\u5e78\u8fd0\u5730\u5f71\u7247\u4ece\u672a\u6709\u64cd\u7eb5\u6216\u5229\u7528\u7684\u611f\u89c9\u3002\u76f8\u53cd\uff0c\u8fd9\u90e8\u4f5c\u54c1\u771f\u8bda\u800c\u6784\u601d\u5de7\u5999\uff0c\u4ee5\u975e\u5e38\u6709\u539f\u521b\u6027\u7684\u65b9\u5f0f\u8868\u8fbe\u4e86\u4f5c\u8005\u7684\u89c2\u70b9\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Downstream<br \/>\nHong Kong director Zune Kwok\u2019s short \u201cDownstream\u201d was arguably one of the most entertaining of the festival, focusing on a young half-Indian local called Peter Chen working as a delivery driver.
