We’d like to welcome you to Nordox, Nordic Documentary Film Festival Beijing, a yearly documentary film event, which is now approaching its fourth edition. This year Nordox is continuing its collaboration with Beijing’s most exciting cultural venue, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, to host all screenings and events. Visit Nordox 2009 for a showcase of unique Nordic perspectives on the world.

Nordox 2009 has a vast range of films lined up for you this year. A quick flick through the scenes of this year’s films will take you to a dangerous love triangle in the Cité Soleil slum in Haiti, to the ambulance murders in Lodz, Poland, to the Kenya election riots, to magical flea market discoveries in Finland, to the Roskilde naked run in Denmark, to Australian trash can raiders, to Finnish oil diets, to the best food industry in the world and to the last supper for those on death row in American prisons. These scenes and fragments constitute the main highlights of this year’s film selection.

For 2009 the film selection is based on several themes. We will continue with Nordox’ red thread of Socio- politically engaged films under a Socio-political theme. New themes this year are “Green” showing films concerning environmental protection and “Art & Music” screening films that are concerned with the arts. Beside screening more and more varied films this year Nordox will also host three special days, a Sweden day, a Norway day and a Finland day to showcase the best of our selection of films from these countries along with director visits and embassy activities.

It’s our honour this year to welcome award-winning director of “Ghosts of Cité Soleil” Asger Leth, award-winning director of “Necrobusiness” Fredrik von Krusenstjerna, the director of the Norwegian film “From Prison to Parliament”, Charlotte Røhder Tvedt, one of the directors of “Last Supper”, Mats Bigert, “Iceberg Shadow” director Antti Seppanen and “Facing Changes” director Mika Koskinen. Nordox will also open up the screening platform to the star of the film “Hunting Down Memory” Øyvind Aamot from Norway and a familiar Beijing Face, Kang Mao of the band Subs, who stars in the film “Rock Heart Beijing”. Through Q & A sessions with the audience Nordox aims at creating a platform for these creators and collaborators to share their first-hand film-making experience and to exchange ideas, insights and reactions. In addition, to kick off the start of Nordox and to warmly welcome you to the festival we’ve organized an opening ceremony with DJ’s, which will start at Ullens and continue into the wee hours at Bed Bar on Zhang Wang Hutong.

Nordox would like to thank the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art for having provided Nordox with the opportunity to host such an exciting festival. Nordox would also like to extend its sincere gratitude to the Royal Norwegian Embassy, the Embassy of Sweden, the Embassy of Finland, the Royal Danish Embassy and the Embassy of Iceland as well as the Danish Cultural Institute and the Film Institutes of the Nordic countries for their continued trust and support. We especially thank the head of public programmes of UCCA Cui Qiao and Xie Meng, for their kindly collaboration. We thank the Beijing media for their interest and coverage of the festival as well as all our volunteers for their hard work and dedication in making the festival a success.

Forword – Nordox catalogue

Nordox. The festival has become familiar with locals and long-term Beijingers as the film festival that gives you high-quality Nordic documentaries that makes you think and discuss. This is for sure the case for this year’s Nordox as well; packet with movies that highlights topics of interest and concern both in the Nordic countries and in China.

Nordox gives us a great opportunity to see and experience important social topics from different perspectives. The director visits and Q&A sessions are unique chances to also get feedback and reactions to our understanding of the movies, and thus contribute to an even better understanding of the content.

Nordox 2009 gives a broad and diverse image of Norway and the Norwegian culture. We are sure that the Norwegian movies will lead to discussions and conversations about topics that have not previously been associated to Norway or the Nordic culture.

Nordox is a very important part of the cultural scene and annual cultural activities in Beijing and we really appreciate the effort the festival and those behind it have made in order to introduce the Nordic culture to a broader audience.

We sincerely hope Nordox 2009 will be a great success and that we will see the continuance of the festival and other collaborations it leads to also in the future.

太阳城的幽灵(又名:无正义之城)(DGA最佳纪录片导演大奖得主)

透过两名亲兄弟的和他们的故事,我们一点点地深入观察今天的海地 – 这个全世界最危险的地方 -的人们真实的生活。 作为海地黑帮首领的2Pac和比利,他们必须在这个几乎没有任何选择余地的世界中做出决择。影片通过不可思议方式零距离地观察黑帮兄弟间的爱与恨;和他们二人与法国人莉莉间的三角之恋;还看到了他们与绝望中仍想维持权力的阿里斯蒂德之间的丑恶协议。以暴力为话语权的2pac和比利知道,在海地,生存下去就是每天的挑战,他们想要为自己也想要为他们的人民找到更好的生活。《太阳城的幽灵》讲述了那些在极度危险的太阳城贫民窟中弱肉强食的青年人的故事,和他们如何被政治所利用。它见证了绝望中的梦想,以及他们借助hip-hop和说唱音乐来祈求生存的希望。

Ghosts of Cité Soleil (DGA AWARD!)

The reality of life today in Haiti unfolds before us as we get to know two brothers and their stories intimately. They are 2Pac and Bily, Haitian gang leaders who strive to make better choices in a world with no choices at all. Through unprecedented access, we see the brothers’ love and hatred for each other, their love triangle with Lele, a French relief worker, and their unsavory pact with President Aristide during his desperate grasp to maintain power in early 2004.  Speaking the language of violence and knowing that staying alive in Haiti is a very day-to-day proposition, 2Pac and Bily struggle to find a better life for themselves and for their people. “Ghosts of Cité Soleil” is the story of young armed men from the slum, being used for political purposes. It is a testament of desperate dreams in a ghetto world where dog eats dog, with hip-hop and rap music as an existential part of their desperate hope for survival in Cité Soleil – the most dangerous place on earth.

死人财 (TEMPO 大奖, IDFA入围作品)

纪录片行业的巨作!90年代末,波兰政府发行了一项提供给波兰公民死者家属的葬礼基金。而波兰罗兹市的殡仪从业者却把他们贪婪的双手伸向了这笔基金。 通过贿赂救护车司机,找到死者家属信息,利用他们仍沉浸在巨大悲痛中、无心看完厚重合同的机会,骗取他们转交基金的签名。当救护车司机说出“死人越多我们 越赚”这样的话时,我们看到了巨大的丑恶。而贪欲也使最初的诈骗也演变成了谋杀…

Richard Solarz, Fredrik von Krusenstjerna/Fvk Film AB/2008/95分钟/35毫米/波兰语, 中英文字幕

Necrobusiness (TEMPO AWARD, IDFA official selection)

During the late 90’s, the Polish government issued a burial fund to the relatives of any deceased citizen. Now the undertakers of Lodz in Poland have figured out a way to lay their greedy hands on those funds. By paying ambulance drivers to get the information where the unfortunate relatives live, they went there with contracts to get the relatives to sign over the burial funds to the undertakers. The idea was that while the relatives was still struck with grief and sorrow, they wouldn’t want to read through a thick contract and just sign it instead. Things really went ugly when the ambulance drivers figured out that they would make more money if more people died. Something that started as a swindle ended up in murder…

HUNTING_DOWN_MEMORY_s

失忆

你是谁如果你不再认识自己?我又是谁如果我的过去完全消失?什么是身份?它又是如何与记忆联系在一起?想像明日醒来时已记不起今天的一切。所有的记忆都不复存在。想像在丢失了自我背景中生活,不再认得那些认识你的人,好像第一次与这个世界相遇。最后,想像这一切都发生在一次独自的中国火车之旅中。

Hunting Down Memory

Who are you if you do not know yourself? Who am I if my whole past is
gone? What is identity? In which way is identity connected to
memory? Imagine waking up tomorrow without recalling today. All
recollections are deleted. Imagine living without a background
history, without recognizing those who know you. Imagine encountering
the world as if it was for the first time. And finally, imagine this
happening to you while travelling alone on a train in China.

‘People would point to me and call me waiguoren (foreigner), and I’d say ‘OK, I’m a waiguoren’, but I didn’t know what that concept meant’

last supper

最后的晚餐 (IDFA入围作品)

只要死刑仍然存在,给死刑犯提供最后的晚餐这一传统就不会消失。而这一传统源自给将死之人提供食物,以保护他们在去往来生的道路。今天,给罪犯提供最后的晚餐这一仪式已脱离了它起源的意义,而这一仪式本身就和死刑一样荒唐。Mats
Bigert和Lars Bergström的这部影片关注这一仪式的传统阐释与现代应用的区别,一种早已与历史失去联系的现代仪式。影片使用了纪录片素材,道具及动画等多种表现手法。主角Brian
Price, 前得克萨斯州州立监狱服刑的囚犯,为我们重现了他曾为两百多名死刑犯料理最后的晚餐。

Mats Bigert & Lars Bergström/瑞典/2005/58分钟/DigiBeta/瑞典语, 英语, 中英文字幕

Last Supper (IDFA official selection)

The last supper has been given to prisoners facing the death penalty
as long as the punishment has existed. The tradition stems from
funeral rites where the deceased person was given food on his deathbed
to protect him on his journey to the afterlife. Today, the ritual of
giving the last supper to the condemned person has been detached from
its origin, and can be perceived to be as absurd as the punishment it
accompanies. Mats Bigert Lars Bergström’s film Last Supper focuses on
this discrepancy between historical “meaning” and contemporary use of
a tradition that has lost its connection with the past. The film mixes
documentary material with sculptural installations and animated
graphics. The main character is the former death row chef Brian Price,
who reconstructs one of the 200 final meals that he prepared during
his time as inmate in Huntsville State Prison, Texas, US.

Prison

从监狱到议会 (IDFA入围作品)

肯尼亚2007年选举骚乱爆发的两年之前,肯尼亚籍挪威人彼得欧让吉瓦正在挪威的Bastoy监狱服刑,罪名是贪污。他狱中的室友叫他“总统”,因为他计划作为候选人参加肯尼亚的议会选举。他的目标是不用贿赂任何选民在议会中赢得一个席位。他立志要为民主和反腐败而战。彼得承认贪污是不对的,但也对肯尼亚的民主运动有一定的帮助。为了正当的目的可以不择手段。他的狱友决定去肯尼亚帮助彼得实现他的目标。电影跟拍了整个选举,展现了从挪威监狱到肯尼亚议会这一过程中的困难和彼得乐观的精神。

From Prison to Parliament (IDFA OFFICIAL SELECTION)

Two years prior to the 2007 election riots in Kenya, Norwegian-Kenyan
Peter O. Ranginya is serving time at Bastøy prison in Norway,
convicted of embezzlement. His fellow inmates call him “The
President”, because he plans to run as a candidate in the Kenyan
Parliamentary elections. The goal is to win a seat in Parliament
without bribing a single voter. He will fight for democracy & against
corruption. Peter admits that the embezzlement was a mistake, but
still it was a way to help the democratic movement in Kenya. The end
justifies the means. His cellmate decides to go to Kenya to help Peter
achieve his goal. The film follows the election; the hard work and
Peter’s optimism, from Norwegian prison to the Kenyan Parliament.

女孩

这是一部关于正在上中学九年级的挪威女孩子的纪录片,故事围绕她们充满青春气息的幻想,忠诚,欺骗,以及处于这个危险年龄节段的这些生猛的女孩们之间的权利之争而展开。影片把镜头对准在卢斯罗卡中学上学的两个小团体。她们中的一名女孩能够同时融入这两个团体,一边是强悍派,另一边是弱势群体。然而她很快就发现,她早晚必须在这两个派别中挑选一个,选择抛弃一边的朋友,取得另一边的朋友的身份认同。

Girls

This is a documentary about the toughest girls in the 9th grade. About
youthful presumption, loyalty, deceit, and female power structures at
an age when everything is at stake. The film focuses on two groups of
girls at Ruseløkka School. One of the girls has joined both
environments, the toughest gang and the less daring Frogner girls.
After a while, it’s only a matter of time before she will be forced to
choose between the two gangs, decide which friends to abandon, and
which identity to assume.

整容 (IDFA入围作品)

营销主管Bao Huai代表了中国正在崛起的中产阶级, 就在他和他的朋友加入迅猛发展的整容大军的同时, 北京的容貌也已从非典变为了奥运会。同时, 整个人类的文明都面临着全球气候变化和环境灾害的威胁, 而我们甚至不愿面对这样的转变。问题就在于我们在面对转变时的短视。我们缺乏认识和适应长期变化的能力。在西方国家, 自然对民主制度的妥协使得认识和纠正转变的速度都过于缓慢。而在中国, 这种转变被更广泛的个人利益和实际情况所掩盖, 因为只有这样才不会有人在这一过程中丢面子。这也就是为什么在很多时候, 最糟的是可以预见的生态灾难即将发生的这种状态 。

Mika Koskinen/Kaarle Aho & Tju-Bang Film/芬兰/2008/75分钟/汉语, 中英文字幕

Facing Changes

Marketing director Bao Huai represents chinese rising upper middle class, when he and his friends are changing faces within booming plastic surgery industry while the city of Beijing is changing its face from SARS to Olympics. Meanwhile the whole human civilization is threatened by global climate change and environmental disasters that we are not willing to see even we are facing them. The question is in our shortsightedness in front of a change. Our disability to recognize and adapt or affect to the long-term changes. In the western countries the changes are milder to recognize and the cure can also be too slow due to compromizing nature of democratic system. In China the change is shadowed with wider individual intresses and truths so that no-one would loose one’s face in the process. This is why in many cases the worst is about to happen, which we can see i.e. in the ecological disasters.

lastbusstop

最后一站

想象一个地处东欧腹地的小村子,一个多世纪以来,它的国籍就像四季一样变换着:最初,它属于哈布斯堡帝国,然后是捷克斯洛伐克,然后是匈牙利,再然后是苏联。近年来,事情变得更加复杂。二战末期,苏联在划定边界时将Szeimenc(人口1100)村划在了两个不同的国家。一边的人们住在斯洛伐克,现在是欧盟的一员;而他们的亲人却在政治经济都不稳定的乌克兰那边艰难地生活。有一个办法就是建一条越境通道,使这些家庭能在分离60年后重聚,并带动经济的发展。影片是以大小Szeimenc村的两位村长2004前往华盛顿的旅行开始的,他们在那里敦促国际人权连线建立一条越境通道。两年后,这条通道建成了,但谁又真正从中获益了呢?

Kai Salminen & Zsuzsa Böszörmenyi/Media Alert/芬兰/52min/英语和匈牙利语, 中英文字幕

The Last Bus Stop

Imagine a village somewhere deep in Eastern Europe. For more than a
century, its nationality has changed in a season-like cadenza: first
it belonged to the Hapsburg Empire, then to Czechoslovakia, next to
Hungary, then to the Soviet Union. In recent years, things have grown
even more complex. At the end of World War II, the Russians
established a border that divided the village of Szelmenc (population
1,100) over two separate countries. Families on one side live in
Slovakia, which is now a member of the European Union. On the other
side, their relatives suffer from the unstable political and economic
circumstances in Ukraine. One solution would be to build a
border-crossing, to reunite families after 60 years and to generate
some economic structure. The film starts with the trip that the mayors
of Little Szelmenc and Great Szelmenc made to Washington in 2004,
where they urged the necessity of constructing a border-crossing at
the congressional Human Rights Caucus. Two years later, it was built –
but who is actually benefiting from it?

exile

放逐 – 与现实无关

影片刻画了一个正在滋长的现象:年轻人越来越沉迷于网络在线游戏(MMORPG)。来自奥斯陆的Emil(34)和来自利勒哈默尔的
Daniel(16)、Morten(14)、Rasmus(15)四个人完全沉陷于网络游戏中。这给他们造成了严重的后果:辍学,失去朋友和工作。同时,网络游戏又带给他们巨大的乐趣和掌控感。

Erlend Eidsem Hanssen/Mediamente/挪威/2009/48分钟/DigiBeta/挪威语, 中英文字幕

Exile – Never Mind Reality

Exile – Never Mind Reality depicts a growing phenomenon: young people
developing an obsession with online gaming (MMORPG). Emil (34) from
Oslo; Daniel (16), Morten (14) and Rasmus (15) from Lillehammer are
all completely hooked. This has had serious consequences for them and
has led to them dropping school, friends or jobs. At the same time,
gaming is fun and gives them a sense of mastery.

狗肉的滋味

你是否知道挪威食品是全世界最纯净、最好的食物?《狗肉的滋味》就是针对挪威强大的合作制食品工业的神秘假象的一枚政治燃烧弹。实际上挪威食品工业兜售的小规模,非工业化,家庭牧场的形象与真实的情形大相径庭。影片不带任何敬意,充满嘲讽讥笑,展现了所谓口头承诺与实际情况之间的巨大落差,还有所有那些尴尬的回答与犹疑不定,谎言与偷拍。《狗肉的滋味》将风景如画的海峡中的挪威女王的画面和用燃烧巴西雨林来种植喂养挪威猪的大豆这样的画面编排在一起。“这部电影毫无可信度,令人恶心并值得怀疑。”一位来自业内的公关经理这样说道。你会相信她说的吗?

Pining for the Fjords

Did you know that Norwegian food is the purest and best in the whole
world? Pining for the fjords is a political Molotov cocktail against
the mythmaking of the powerful cooperatives in Norwegian food
industry. They sell an image of small-scale, non-industrial, farming
families – far from what’s actually taking place. Without any respect
and with a sarcastic laugh, the film shows the enormous gap between
what’s said and what’s done. Embarrassing answers and hesitations,
lies and candid camera – you get it all. “Pining for the fjords”
compiles images of the Norwegian Queen in picturesque fjords with
Brazilian rainforests burned to feed Norwegian pigs with soy beans.
“This is a film without any credibility, it’s disgusting and suspect”,
says a Director of Communications from the industry. Do you trust her?

灾难的配方

导演约翰.韦伯斯特劝说妻子和两个年幼的孩子,在保持他们城郊中产阶级生活方式不变的同时,全家一起来节省用油。生活中那些我们不愿意做或忍不住要做的事情,都变成了造成灾难的配方的一部分。在这部喜剧中,他们发现自己犯下的错误,不仅使他们的价值观受到了质疑,也使他们的意志力,和最终他们的个人幸福受到了考验。

Recipes for Disaster

Director John Webster convinces his wife and two small children that
the whole family should go on an oil diet, yet without having to give
up their middle class suburban lifestyle. All the everyday things that
we don’t do, or what we can’t help doing, make up recipes for
disaster. In this comedy of errors they find themselves questioning
their values and putting to test their will power and ultimately,
their happiness.

bergman

伯格曼之岛

就在英格玛.伯格曼去世的四年前,这位传奇的电影人和瑞典纪录片制作人Marie
Nyerod一起坐在他位于法罗岛的家中,讨论了他的工作,他的恐惧,他的遗憾以及他那仍旧燃烧着的艺术激情。结果就有了关于这位著名的隐居导演,从未有过的一系列惊人坦白的采访,并在之后被剪辑为一部长篇电影,伯格曼的孤岛。电影深入、袒露,充满了有关伯格曼作品中以及个人生活中的精选的轶事。
Nyerod的这部电影是关于这个改变了电影艺术的大师的最终一瞥。

Marie Nyreröd/瑞典/2006/83分钟/瑞典语, 中英文字幕

Bergman Island

Just four years before his death, legendary filmmaker Ingmar Bergman
sat down with Swedish documentarian Marie Nyreröd at his home on Fårö
Island to discuss his work, his fears, his regrets, and his ongoing
artistic passion. This resulted in the most breathtakingly candid
series of interviews that the famously reclusive director ever took
part in, later edited into the feature-length film Bergman Island.
In-depth, revealing, and packed with choice anecdotes about Bergman’s
oeuvre, as well as his personal life, Nyreröd’s film is an
unforgettable final glimpse of a man who transformed cinema.

Of the European open air festivals Roskilde is the most important. For the fans there is no other festival as Roskilde that carries on the legendary Woodstock spirit.
­— German news anchor
Roskilde是欧洲最重要的露天音乐节。对乐迷而言, 再没有哪个音乐节比它更好地继承了传奇的伍德斯托克音乐节的精神。
— 德国电视台新闻主播

If the identity  of the Roskilde Festival was easily described we would have been tempted to do so. And it would be relatively simple to duplicate. And copy in other places. I believe that the Nordic all-embracing mentality will prevail even if there are attempts at breaking it down and that it will safeguard freedom and respect personality and tolerance.
— Leif Skov  Roskilde Festival Director

要是Roskilde的特性易于描述, 我们早就尝试了。它也就相对容易在别的地方被复制。我相信即使遇到破坏的阻力, 北欧人的包容性最终会取胜的。而这种态度将会守卫着自由、尊重、个性和宽容。
— Leif Skov  Roskilde音乐节主席

icebergshadow

冰山的阴影

导演在跳蚤市场找到了一箱在世界各地拍摄的8毫米胶片。年长日久,这些盒子里的薄薄的塑料胶片渐渐呈现出了生命。毫无疑问它们都是由同一个人拍摄的。谁会是纪录这些瞬间的人呢?风浪后的平静,东方的舞者,马丘比丘的迷雾,一个飞毛蛾虫在蚕食树叶,还有曼哈顿闪烁的霓虹灯。不再存在的神秘港口的繁忙。成千上万的电影画面。一个人一生和经历就在跳蚤市场被卖掉了。

Antti Seppänen/Illume Film/芬兰/2009/57分钟/芬兰语, 中英文字幕

Iceberg Shadow

The director finds a box of 8 mm films full of images from all over
the world at a flea market. Night after night, the thin strips of
plastic lying in the box spring to life. They have been clearly filmed
by the same person. Who would have wanted to record these moments?
Calm after a storm, an oriental dancer, mist in Machu Picchu, a
caterpillar eating a leaf and the blaring neon signs of Manhattan.
Mysteriously rippling hustle and bustle in ports that no longer exist.
A million exposed squares of film. Someone’s entire life and
experiences for sale at a flea market.

抗猫是朋克乐队SUBS的主唱。在《岩石的心》这部电影中,导演Karen Winther跟随了乐队在中国和挪威的巡演,
通过抗猫的现场演出和镜头前的自白给观众提供了一个了解现代中国社会的视角。
这部纪录片让我们看到一个摇滚乐永远不会丢失它颠覆反叛性格,音乐人也超越了追求名利的世界。

Rock Heart Beijing

Kang Mao is the lead singer of the Chinese punk band Subs. In Rock
Heart Beijing filmmaker Karen Winther follows the band on tour, both
in China and in Norway, and through Kang Mao’s scene performances and
her open-hearted confessions before the camera, the audience is given
a fascinating insight into modern-day China. This intimate documentary
film lets us see a world where playing Rock’n'roll never lost its
subversive and rebellious character, and where musicians strive for
more than fame and fortune.

DJ Thomas Gaestadius at Nordox opening

DJ Thomas Gaestadius at Nordox opening
It was almost 5 years ago when DJ Donald Summer (aka Thomas Gaestadius) arrived to China and met Will Yorke, a connection that would lay the roots of what was to grow and continue growing. He and Yorke teamed up to form The Mug Up Phonies, a successful house music DJ duo in Beijing from 2005 through 2007. As the founding member of BaiCai and co-owner of White Rabbit Club in Beijing — the best underground dance club to hit the capital in a long time.

特别关注 NORDOX 2009 Highlights

Asger Leth(阿斯格 莱斯)- 《太阳城的幽灵》导演
美国电影杂志《Variety》这样评价《太阳城的幽灵》: “能拍出这样的影片而导演还活下来真是太不可思议了!” 而就是这位丹麦导演Asger Leth,现在要来到北京,参加我们北欧纪录片电影节的开幕式,谈论他的电影并与中国的观众进行交流。

《太阳城的幽灵》- 简介
太子港的贫民窟,太阳城,被称作全世界最危险的地方。这里被一支叫做Chimeres(幽灵)的黑帮势力统治着。而这个黑帮受雇于总统阿里斯蒂德,来对付他的反对党。导演Asger Leth不仅在极端严峻的环境下拍摄了影片《太阳城的幽灵》,还成功地取得了两名最重要的黑帮首领、既是兄弟又是对手的2pac和Bily的信任。这一切的结果就是一部既包含了两兄弟对同一个女人的爱情斗争,阿里斯蒂德的倒台,又包含了他们想要像其偶像-这部影片的作曲-Wycliff Jean那样,通过说唱音乐来逃离贫民窟的影片的诞生。

弗雷德里克
..克鲁辛斯特纳 (Fredrik von Krusenstjerna)电影《死人财》的导演 NEW
BBC4这样评价《死人财》 (Necrobusiness):“ 这部杰出的纪录片,通过对波兰历史上最大的一次警方调查,及其过程中各种怪诞的细节的记录,再现了这个巨大的丑闻。” 弗雷德里克.冯.克鲁辛斯特纳将会参加第四届北欧纪录片电影节的开幕式,对话获奖影片导演,就在11月21日。

《死人财》-
简介
这是一部拍摄于波兰罗兹的纪录片。它讲述了90年代末,医护人员和殡仪人员相互勾结,来骗取本应由死者家属得到的政府补贴的事情。而最初的诈骗也演变成了谋杀…

岛之风 – 《失忆》演员
岛之风 – Thomas Lien的电影《失忆》中的男主角,将会参加我们今年的北欧纪录片电影节。据岛之风返回挪威后为其检查的医生说“就好比是你的硬盘被删除了”。在27岁的年龄,他不得不再次学习这个世界的运作法则。请大家来倾听岛之风在本届Nordox电影节上的讲述。

《失忆》简介
《失忆》是一部有关名叫岛之风的挪威男子突然丢失了他27年记忆的真实故事。他不记得自己生命中的任何事情,任何事!对大多数人而言,这将是他们人生中一件不幸且可怕的经历。但对岛之风来说,这却是一场冒险。他既没有受创伤也没有瘫痪,他只是充满了好奇。他想知道在自己身上发生了什么事,当然也想知道干酪和蓝莓派的味道。

Asger Leth – Director of “Ghosts of Cité Soleil”
American film magazine Variety wrote about “Ghosts of Cité soleil”: “It’s amazing it even exists and that the director is still alive”. Danish director, Asger Leth, is now coming to Beijing to attend the openening of the festival, talk about his movie and answer questons from the audience.

“Ghosts of Cité Soleil” – A brief introduction:

The slum of Port Au Prince, Cité Soleil, is named one of the most dangerous places on earth, ruled by the Chimeres – “the ghosts” hired by then president Aristide to fight the opposition. Not only did Asger Leth shoot his film “Ghosts of Cité Soleil” in this extremely dangerous environment – he managed to gain the trust from two of the most prominent gang leaders, 2pac and Bily, brothers and rivals. The result is a movie that contains both the story of two brothers rivalry, the love to the same woman, Aristide’s fall, and the dream of escaping the slum through the way of rap music – like their great idol Wycliff Jean, who produced the music for this film.

Fredrik von Krusenstjerna – director of “Necrobusiness” NEW

BBC4 wrote about Necrobusiness: “An extraordinary scandal is retold by this superb documentary strand, detailing the bizarre circumstances surrounding Poland’s largest police investigation”. Fredrik von Krusenstjerna will guest the opening of Nordox 2009. Meet the director behind the award-winning film November 2

“Necrobusiness” – A brief introduction
A Documentary set in Lodz, Poland, where paramedics and undertagers worked together during the late 90’s to get hold of the government subsidies that relatives of the deceased usually got for the funeral. Something that started as a swindle ended up in murder!

Øyvind Aamot/Wind – Star in “Hunting Down Memory”
Øyvind Aamot, the man portrayed in Thomas Lien’s film “Hunting Down Memory”, will visit this years Nordox Festival. “It’s like having your hard disk deleted,” according to one of the doctors who examined Øyvind when he returned to Norway. At the age of 27, he had to start learning how the world functions. Hear what he has to tell at this year’s Nordox Festival.

“Hunting Down Memory” – A brief introduction
“Hunting Down Memory” is a true story about Øyvind Aamot, who suddenly lost 27 years of his memory. He remembered nothing from his life. NOTHING! For most people, this would have been a dreadful experience, an ominous and frightening event in their life. For Øyvind, it was an adventure. He is neither traumatized nor paralyzed, he is just curious. He wants to know what happened, but he would also like to know what cottage cheese and blueberry pie taste like.

回顾 Nordox Retrospect

北欧纪录片电影节的宗旨是促进中国与北欧五国文化的交流和发展,繁荣记录片创作。

第一届北欧纪录片电影节是06年大山子国际艺术节视觉艺术单元的一部分。电影节展出了包括Lars von Trier获奥斯卡最佳纪录片提名的作品《五道电影难题》在内的九部北欧电影力作,每天两场,历时一个星期,赢得了观众积极的反响。影展探讨了记录片作为大众传播媒介的多种表达方式,展出了瑞典,丹麦和挪威近年出品的种类风格徊异的记录片。影展还重点介绍了国际大导演Lars von Trier的记录片宣言Dogumentary Manifesto。与中国观众一起讨论记录片宣言中以限定操控的方式来接近真实的努力。电影节得到了包括瑞典,挪威和丹麦大使馆,北欧各国电影协会以及所有导演的大力支持。据统计,参加电影节的电影爱好者,学生,普通观众加上记录片工作者近千人。

2007年,北欧纪录片节与绿色和平合作在798艺术节和迷笛音乐节上播放了瑞典电视台有史以来最大的记录片投资项目-《地球》。以求唤起更多的人对全球变化问题的关注。地球的导演之一约翰索德伯格访问了影展,瑞典大使林川亲自到场致词并观看了电影。

2008年北欧纪录片电影节计划把主题和焦点放在国际社会生活中的新闻事件和社会问题。探讨记录片作为大众传播媒体所承载的社会意义。作品有关全球化问题,有关战争与恐怖主义,移民和宗教,有关消费与人文环境问题等。我们推荐的影片包括了倍受国际媒体关注的挪威纪录片《USA vs Al Arian》和获IDFA伊文斯大奖的丹麦纪录片《修道院》等十几部影片。

Nordox is an annual meeting point for Nordic documentary films held in Beijing, China. The festival is recognized as a place to meet new, creative, cutting-edge contemporary documentary film from the Nordic countries where every year new themes and perspectives are explored. The festival attracts a high presence of Chinese as well as an international audience in Beijing.

Nordox was founded in 2006 as part of the Dashanzi International Art Festival on the grounds of 798 art district. The festival programme was set up as an exploration into the film language for documentary. With its 2006 selection Nordox aimed to transcend the boundaries of existing documentary film classification. The programme especially focused on director Lars von Trier’s Dogumentary Manifesto, this was chosen to set off a discussion about minimizing manipulation within documentary film production and whether or not this could bring us closer to reality. The festival received positive feedback from both audience and media. Over the course of the week the festival received an estimated 1000 festival visitors.

The 2007 version of Nordox took place at both the 798 Art Festival and the MIDI Music Festival, in co-operation with Greenpeace, Nordox showed one of the most ambitious projects in the history of the Swedish National Television Company – “The Planet”, as a call for more environmental awareness and action. The film was widely seen and well received by the Midi Festival and 798 Art Festival visitors.

International news cases and their social and political implications were a focus point for last year’s Nordox 2008 festival, this was set up as a platform to discuss the social and ethical value of documentary film art as a form of mass media. 2008 saw an extension of our programme with numerous director and filmmaker visits and Q&A discussions with an enthusiastic audience response. The festival was held inside UCCA, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art’s screening room, inside the 798 art district. UCCA founder Guy Ullens and the Swedish ambassador Mikael Lindström attended the opening.

Nordox project space

Nordox项目空间位于草场地艺术区,作为电影节的办公地点。另外我们建立了北欧纪录片档案库。档案库包括了历年北欧纪录片电影节上播放的影片和其他北欧纪录片共约五十多部。项目空间为非赢利机构,每周末免费对外开放,仅以学习,参考和交流为目的。还可以给电影节期间没有时间和机会看到我们的纪录片的观众提供一个回播的机会。有兴趣来观摩影片的朋友可以和我们电话预约。13811284883

NORDOX2008 第三届北欧纪录片电影节

欢迎来到Nordox 2008!

我们诚挚地邀请各位的来参加我们2008年的第三届北欧纪录片展映Nordox,这一届影展中将展出更新更精彩的北欧纪录片。一年一度的Nordox由策划人盛海于2006年创办,曾经是大山子国际艺术节的一部分。今年的Nordox为期一周,从10月18日至10月25日于北京798艺术区的尤伦斯当代艺术中心展出。

Nordox旨在将北欧纪录片制作的最新发展呈现给观众,同时也为欧洲和亚洲的纪录片观众提供一个供讨论和交换意见的平台。年复一年,我们看到北欧国家推出大量精彩而又振奋人心的高质量的片子。就水准而言北欧纪录片无论在创意和制作上都有可借鉴之处,这不仅归功于一大批训练有素和敢想敢干的创意队伍,也归功于热心推崇记录片事业的观众群。加上相对完善的资金支持和文化批评,使得北欧每年都有大批好作品出现。我们真诚地希望与北京的观众一起分享他们的成果。

2008年北欧纪录片影展把主要焦点放在国际社会生活中的新闻事件和社会问题,探讨记录片作为影像艺术和大众传播媒体所承载的社会意义。我们想要传达北欧国家对于全球化,战争与恐怖主义,言论自由和消费等问题的不同的声音与见解。我们展示的纪录片关注的不仅仅是北欧地区自身的发生发展,更多的是关于发生在千里迢迢之外的这个日益错综复杂的世界。随着全球政治与我们的日常生活的关系变得愈加紧密,我们每个人对于国际事态的观点也变得愈发重要。通过这些纪录片我们可以看到权力和政治怎样直接或间接的影响每个人每天的生活。

在参展的影片当中,Nordox2008将放映由挪威导演Line Halvorsen执导的片子”USA vs Al-Arian”。故事追踪Sami Al-Arian的案件。在缺乏确凿证据的情况下,他被美国政府指控与恐怖份子勾结。影片深入地记述了此案的进展以及它对Al-Arian家庭的影响。另一部参展的影片是由芬兰制片人Elina Hirvonen所制作的《天堂—旅行三部曲》。由三个小片段所组成的故事讲述了非洲移民涌向欧洲,企盼在欧洲开始新的生活。镜头下美丽的画面与故事本身所传达的艰辛成了鲜明的对比。由导演Mikael Wiström和Alberto Hersckovits所执导的《庇护所》让我们的心更贴近家的方向。影片将一位音乐家,一位摄影师记录所拍摄的昔日瑞典风景和一位著名瑞典诗人的诗歌错综复杂的交织在一起,呈现出了一段极富诗意美感的荒诞离奇的电影之旅。影展中的这一类有关艺术家和艺术项目的影片也给我们提供了艺术创作的独特视角。

我们要感谢尤伦斯当代艺术中心,挪威大使馆,瑞典大使馆,瑞典电影协会,挪威电影协会,瑞典学院,赫尔辛基艺术学院,我们特别感谢费大为,郭小晖和Tempo纪录片电影节主席Agneta Morgren。有了他们的支持使得这届影展成为可能。

2008 brings us to the third edition of Nordox and we have the pleasure of inviting you to come and enjoy an all new selection of Nordic films at a great venue!

Nordox aims to showcase the most recent developments in documentary film making from the Nordic world as well as to create a platform for discussion and exchange between both ends of the Eurasian continent. Year upon year we see a wide range of interesting, captivating and well-made films coming out of the Nordic countries. The region’s well-trained professionals, film funding system, film critics and its indispensable audience makes for a very high quality of documentary films. We’d very much like to share a slice of this Nordic film flavour with the audience in Beijing. The festival started in 2006 and is held annually. Nordox 2008 will take place from October 18th to 25th at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art.

In 2008, a focus point for this year’s festival will be the social and political investigation of international news cases, to discuss the social and ethical value of documentary film art as a form of mass media. We would like to show that there are many different voices within the Nordic countries that express their political opinions on world issues, such as globalization, war, terrorism, freedom of expression and over-consumption, in a very unique way. Therefore we aim to show critical reflections from the Nordic world not only on developments within their own borders but also those taking place millions of miles away.

Nordox 2008 will also be welcoming Line Halvorsen director of the film USA vs Al-Arian and Maud Nycander director of The Nun to the Nordox auditorium at UCCA for a presentation of their work and Q&A sessions with you, the audience…

Nordox would like to extend their thanks and sincere appreciation to the following organizations: Ullens Centre for Contemporary Art, The Royal Norwegian Embassy, The Embassy of Sweden, The Norwegian Film Institute, The Swedish Film Institute, The Swedish Institute and the University of Art and Design Helsinki UIAH. Special thanks to our co-programer Agneta Mogren of TEMPO Festival Stockholm and to Fei Dawei and Emma Guo of UCCA.

We hereby invite everyone to come out and join us for seven days of punk rock, summer holidays, monastries and spanish tomatoes…

My Daughter the Terrorist

What makes anyone want to blow themselves up for a cause? In this intimate and personal portrait we join two young female elite soldiers of Sri-Lanka’s Tamil Tigers trained for the ultimate mission. We share their childhood experiences, their dreams and their families’ loss. Left behind are the mothers.
Dharsika and Puhalchudar belong to the last batch of the Black Tigers, and are now equipped for the last mission: strapping an American-made Claymore mine to their bodies, able to blow themselves and everything within 100 feet to pieces. We first meet them at an optimistic time: The peace talks are making progress, and the Black Tigers are officially decommissioned. The girls are serving as ordinary soldiers.

The girls have a close friendship. For seven years they have been eating, sleeping, training and fighting side by side. They can survive for weeks in the jungle without supplies. They don’t know exactly how many enemies they’ve killed in ordinary battle.

Dharsika’s family is typical: the father died in the war. We meet her mother, who has been struggling to bring up her family in a war-torn society. She tells us that Dharsika stayed with the family just long enough to bury her father, then disappeared into the guerilla’s hands. She is proud of her daughter’s fight for their homeland.

about the director:
Beate Arnestad worked for many years and in many different positions at Norwegian broadcaster NRK, mainly in the divisions of culture and entertainment. Her first documentary was “Where the waves sing” (2002), tracing the life of a former painter and governor in the forgotten Danish-Norwegian colony Tranquebar in India.
While living in Sri Lanka from 2003 to 2006, she started exploring the concept of women in war, which turned into the film “My daughter the terrorist.” She is currently starting work on a new documentary, this time based on recent African history.

Sanctuary

Musician David Sandström crashed when his punk band Refused came to a brutal halt during a US-gig in 1998. Punk had delivered him into the world. Now he returned to his native Västerbotten in the north of Sweden to make music that could bring him home, to his own family. David’s grandmother put the books The Tar Still and Cloudberry Land by Sara Lidman in his hands. The photographs of Sune Jonsson entered his apartment in Umeå. Since then Sara Lidman is his constant companion. In the film Sanctuary (Tillflykt) her words and the photographs of Sune Jonsson are weaved together with David’s music and his own travelling inwards and homewards. Sanctuary tries to touch what Sara Lidman once expressed; “I want to depict everything, but the things I most dearly want to get down on paper are the most difficult; I will never be able to catch them: the Forests and the Music!

Situated just 40 miles from the Finnish border, a children’s home in Russia has been practicing a form of charity where Finnish couples, families or senior citizens can offer to take care of a child during their vacation time.

The documentary follows the journey and emotions of Svetlana, an 11-year-old girl from the orphanage, and Tiina and Peter as they are brought together by good means.

USA-vs-Al-Arian-7

《美国vs阿里安》

USA vs AL-Arian是关于一个美籍阿拉伯家庭被美国政府拆散的故事。一个家庭如何面对被恐怖主义气氛笼罩下的反穆斯林情绪。多年来,Nahla为她的丈夫和孩子们的父亲沙米的无辜而奔走。沙米,这个在美国居住了三十多年的巴勒斯坦难民,大学教授和人权活动家。2003年被指控向恐怖组织提供物质援助,被禁闭达三年之久。长达六个月的审判结果是无罪但不能释放。因为起诉方申请复议。2006年五月他同意与美国政府达成交易,联邦政府判了他57个月监禁,之后驱逐出境。沙米的案件是美国911事件之后匆忙订立的值得争议的新宪法《爱国者法案》的第一批案例之一。

Line Halvorsen | Dalchows Verden | 挪威 | 2007 | 99 分钟 | 35mm | 英语配中文字幕

USA vs Al-Arian

The film draws an intimate family portrait that documents the American-Muslim family Al-Arian’s desperate attempt to fight terrorism charges leveled by the US Government.
In February 2003, university professor and pro-Palestinian civil rights activist Sami Al-Arian was arrested in Tampa, Florida, charged with providing material support to a terror organization. For two-and-a-half years he was held in solitary confinement, denied basic privileges and given limited access to his attorneys. While the Bush administration considered this a landmark case in its campaign against international terrorism, Sami Al-Arian claims he was targeted in an attempt to silence his political views.

The film follows Sami Al-Arian’s wife Nahla and their five children throughout his 6 month-long trial. It is an intimate family portrait that documents the strain brought on by the trial, a battle waged both in court and in the media. The film raises questions on whether it is possible for a man like Sami Al-Arian to receive a fair trial in the United States given the current hostile environment against Muslims and the strong US support of Israel. It presents democracy in a new light in a post-9/11 culture of fear. It is also an example of how the American government’s hunt for terrorists is a struggle that can be seen from multiple angles.

about the director:
Line Halvorsen was educated at the University of Trondheim and Documentary Department at the Volda University College.

WIND FROM THE NORTH

When director Henri Seng started the Nordic Documentary Film Festival Beijing two years ago, he had no specific agenda-only to bring a collection of good documentaries to Beijing. Now going on its third year, the festival continues the influx of quality film making. Taking place this year at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art(UCCA)in 798, the festival will feature a collection of ten documentaries made by directors and products from the Nordic region.

The filmmakers collectively hail from a handful of countries with a total population not much larger than Beijing’s, but when it comes to content, this year’s films target a smorgasbord of locations around the globe, and present a line-up of some of the most compelling cinema classifiable under this year’s theme of “International News Stories.” The selection for this year’s festival began at Sweden’s Tempo Documentary Film Festival, where Seng served as a member of the festival’s jury. “We tried to stay away from the made-for-TV style of documentary, with lots of narration and interviews,”says Anouchka van Driel, who runs Nordox with Seng.

Among the selection is the hauntingly poetic Paradise: Three Journeys in the World, a film separated into three stories telling of African emigration to Europe, each of which rip apart the fantasy of seeking out the better life abroad. The film juxtapose the two continents and creates a striking contrast between the different landscapes and cultures, vividly portraying the hardships borne by Africans who look towards Europe for a way out of poverty. One story follows the lives of illegal immigrants who sleep on the streets while working at a farm in Spain picking tomatoes to sell on European markets, while another documents the life of a man who tried to swim to Spain from Morocco, is captured, driven hours into the middle of the desert and abandoned.

The focus of these films is certainly on international news-for example, USA vs Al-Arian calls attention to the unjust detainment of terrorist suspects in the United States, and Belarussian Waltz tells of a single Belarus activist’s lone protests against the government. But Seng’s personal top pick of the festival, Sanctuary, is cut from a different cloth:Hardcore punk musician David Sandström goes home to Sweden after the dramatic breakup of Refused, his legendary straight-edge-hard-core punk band. In the film,Sandström’s grandmother gives him the books of Sara Lidman and the photographs of Sune Jonsson, which become an integral element of the film. Words and photos are weaved together with Sandström’s music to present an Introspective journey home from an unusual angle — one that begins in the hardcore underground punk clubs of the United States and ends in a quiet Swedish countryside, where Sandström grew up. “It has a very new style of editing” Seng remarks.

The selection will also include some lighthearted films; To China on a Shoestring, for instance, is about two Norwegian backpackers who hitchhike to China across Europe, Turkey, Iran and Pakistan,and how they are able to do it without carrying any money. The film bridges the 10,000km wide geographical gap by showing the strangers they befriend along the way-itself exactly the cultural gap the festival is trying to cross.

The global scope of these film is, each in its own way, very local and human. Though they may involve people and places on the other side of the planet, “stories like these can happen anywhere in the world” van Driel states. “That’s the good thing about film art,” says Seng, “you can tell a story in so many different ways.”

The Planet

“There is only one planet and it has its limits…”

The Planet is a hot from the oven attempt to find answers about the truths and untruths of the alarming global changes that many claim are already in motion. It is the most extensive documentary project that has ever been produced in Scandinavia. The film crews have been working for more than 2 years and have visited over 25 countries around the world. The extraordinary visual style and the unexpected content in The Planet will unlock the alienated attitude many people have built up in relation to the subject. The Planet is about much more than climate change. It’s about the Earth as a whole – it’s about the overall global changes we are experiencing right now.

北欧记录片《地球》见证全球变化

北欧记录片《地球》见证全球变化 ——专访该片瑞典导演约翰•索德伯格 转载
《国际先驱导报》[中国特稿社] 苗 红

北欧大型环境记录片《地球》(The Planet)在中国的首映即将落户2007迷笛音乐节,届时该片将在现场主舞台对面的绿色和平展区循环放映,给“绿色与和平”为主题的迷笛音乐节涂抹上了浓重的环保色彩。在娱乐消遣的场所展映该片的确有些耐人寻味,很难想象谁会对展映效果抱有信心,但该片的瑞典导演约翰•索德伯格(Johan Soderberg)却相当自信,作为这部84分钟记录片唯一的剪辑师,他确信该片独特的影像表达也必定会俘获中国观众的心。

“传媒大盗”修成正果

约翰•索德伯格是瑞典当今最好的电影剪辑师之一,麦当娜的记录片《I’m Going to Tell You a Secret》的剪辑效果就出自他的“魔力之掌”。音乐人出身的索德伯格生活中最大的嗜好就是当DJ,一提到音乐他就会兴趣盎然。他说,“我热爱音乐,我知道音乐对人们意味着什么,把人们召唤到一起来跳舞是一件非常重要的事情!”

索德伯格将于5月2日应邀亲临《地球》展映现场与中国观众见面交流。他毫不掩饰即将亲临音乐节现场的兴奋心情,他说,“瑞典电视台去年就制作了一部关于迷笛节的记录短片,那个地方看上去真的很棒!我会在5月3日迷笛节现场的DJ营地表演一个小时,我还会在5月5日大山子798艺术节现场的派对上表演,我希望能有很多人一起来跳舞。”

索德伯格对他“自玩成材”的经历相当坦白,“我最开始涉足视觉领域时其实就是一个传媒大盗,我从电视节目、记录片和新闻节目中偷窃影像资料,为我自己的乐队炮制出家庭制作的录像带,其中的某些作品上世纪90年代就曾在音乐电视及其它频道上播出过。如今版权法更加严格了,我就不会那么做了。不管怎样,后来诞生的若干部纪实记录片以及我作为职业剪辑师的崭新生活皆源自于我曾经有过的这段经历。”

学生时代的索德伯格主修的专业是古典派及现代派的打击乐。“我发现玩音乐和玩剪辑之间有许多相似之处,”他说。“我制作的记录片大多都跟政治、宗教和环境问题有关。我参与执导剪辑的电影作品包括《Information Is Free》(1994)、《Electronic Pollution》(1995)、《Lucky People Center International》(1998)、《Tokyo Noise》(2002)、《Surplus》(2003)、《Read My Lips》(2004)、《The Voice》(2005)和《The Planet》(2006)。”

《地球》见证全球变化

人类赖以生存的地球健康状况若真的出了问题,而这些问题恰恰是跟人类活动有关的话,那么这种全球性的危机就变成了全人类的危机,如今诸多领域的科学家和研究人员都在以各自的方式踏遍地球追踪全球变化的蛛丝马迹,他们在寻找全球变暖的证据方面似乎已有所斩获。其实全球有人类活动的地方没有人类活动活的地方都在发生这样那样或多或少的变化,北欧电影人去年9月出品的大型环境记录片《地球》也从多种角度最直接地告诉人们全球变化已是不争的事实。

《地球》摄制组花了两年的时间走访了25个国家,访问了29位相关的专家和学者。拍摄《地球》是一个耗费时间和精力的项目,索德伯格要与迈克尔•斯滕伯格(Michael Stenberg)和莱纳斯•托雷尔(Linus Torell)领衔执导。“我们另外还有四位副导演分头率领各自的摄制组环球采访,” 索德伯格说,“我们必须直接获取所有事实的第一手资料,我们需要许多研究人员,其实在我开始全面介入这个项目的工作之前,迈克尔•斯滕伯格在这方面的研究至少已有两年,大多数科学性质的采访都是他去完成。”

索德伯格在这个项目中并没未去现场执导,但影片的剪辑工作最终是他一手包办的。他说,“我开始着手《地球》的剪辑工作的时候,我会把自己想象成一个平常人,仅仅是有那么一点点关注,而绝非是什么环保主义者,在剪辑这部片子的过程中我的确改变了许多,我对这个地球上事物之间相互联系的意识极大地增强了,这种意识的增强来得缓慢,而只有这种意识上的缓慢增强才会渐渐地落实在行动上。可是我依然喜爱旅行,喜欢品尝从世界各进口的食物,要成为一个坚定的环保主义者并非易情。”

当索德伯格被问及像他一样身处低地国家的人们是否对全球变暖更为敏感时,他说,“我只能说我们所有的人都将遭受全球变暖的影响,在全球化的文化环境里,我们之间都是相互关联的,当成千上万的亚撒哈拉地区的非洲人不得不迁徙他乡时,就必将会在欧洲和全球引起反响,至于说谁能够遏制人类无尽无休的欲望,我想当你的邻居正在遭受全球变暖影响时,你就会积极地行动起来。我相信当我们意识到被引向何方的时候,这些问题终将会变成倍受关注的问题。我对年轻一代将来在学校和家里获得这种意识抱有很高的期望,到时候情况将会有所改观。”
“颠覆性”的影像表达

枯燥乏味题材严肃的影片经过索德伯格的一番剪辑很可能会被弄出意想不到的效果,多数情况下他会顺便把影片的音乐制作也包办下来,有业内人士评价说索德伯格做电影是很有控制力,他赋予《地球》的影像语言非常平和有时甚至是愉快的,但影片内容所触及的问题却是沉重而严峻的。他创造的影像语言非常独特,人们一眼就能够认出是他的风格。

让索德伯格真正出尽风头的是一部由电影短片组成的系列作品《Read My Lips》。据索德伯格本人介绍,该系列作品是他2001年至2003年期间陆续为瑞典电视台一档电视节目打造的,曾经在互联网上抢尽风头,布什和布莱尔对唱经典情歌《Endless Love》的那期节目堪称是互联网上最受网民追捧的作品之一,被点击下载的次数高达数百万次之多。

在索德伯格个人的官方网站上,点击播放《Read My Lips》的按钮,布什和布莱尔的画面就会交替出现,他们的嘴唇在动但讲话的声音却被莱昂纳尔•里奇(Lionel Richie)和戴安娜 •罗斯(Diana Ross)的深情歌声所置换,巧妙的对口形“把戏”被索德伯格拿捏得恰到好处,“谐谑”的影像表达却也深化了短片的寓意,索德伯格凭借这一创造性的“杰作”声名鹊起,他的大胆尝试颠覆了以往严肃题材的影像表达。
索德伯格剪辑《地球》这部影片时,他依然在追求更为独特的影像表达。他说,“这个项目艺术方面所要聚焦的中心问题就在于做出一部确实能俘获新观众的电影。我们都知道科教影片的模样和腔调,总是那么谦恭那么正确,而我们做这部影片并不是为了跟那些早已熟知这些东西的人进行沟通。在这方面我们获得了巨大的成功,至今一直是好评如潮,年轻观众的好评居多,我得说对年轻一代我们寄予了厚望!如果我们一直就这么不思悔改地走下去,我们子孙后代的未来就不会美好。中国人民对于创造美好未来所能发挥的作用并不是无足轻重!西方国家应该在谋求可持续生活方式上迈出第一步,我们才能指望印度和中国的年轻一代不会盲从地走上西方过度消费文化的穷途末路。”(完)

摇滚呼唤“绿色与和平”

中国最大规模的露天音乐节“迷笛音乐节”明日将在海淀公园拉开“战幕”,中外44支摇滚乐队在为期4天的音乐节上轮番征战“主舞台”,为广大乐迷奉献激情四溢的摇滚盛宴。本届迷笛音乐节在迈向多元化发展的道路上更进一步,增设了四个场内舞台及一个场外舞台,总共有90支中外乐队及50位个人音乐家为观众奉献绚丽多彩的现代音乐。

2007迷笛音乐节在过往七届的基础上继续去实现“让音乐改变世界”的梦想,主办方“北京迷笛音乐学校”与主力协办方“绿色和平”通力合作联手打造了以“绿色与和平”为主题的音乐节,唤醒人们付诸行动去改变人类赖以生存的“地球家园”前景不妙的命运。太合麦田旗下凭借单曲《一意孤行》夺得第七届音乐风云榜“年度最佳摇滚单曲”奖的“麦田守望者”乐队将首次亮相迷笛音乐节,唱响充满绿色情怀的英文新单曲《Green》。国际著名音乐人Dave Stewart旗下的Imogen Heap和Nadirah X将携手而来做压轴演出,不仅会唱响专门为国际环保组织“绿色和平”创作的歌曲《Go Green》,更会与前“指南针”乐队女主唱罗琦及“春秋”乐队乐手联袂演出。

北欧大型环境记录片《The Planet》的中国首映将进驻迷笛音乐节,这部见证全球变化、影像表达独特的记录片届时会在“主舞台”对面的“绿色和平展区”循环放映。来自京城小有名气“绿校”的近20位画家将在音乐节现场进行为期两天的以“绿色与和平”为主题的涂鸦创作,现场观众也可踊跃加入画家们的行列尽情挥洒“绿色梦想”。

摩登天空旗下的三支摇滚乐队——摘得第七届音乐风云榜“最佳摇滚乐队”和“最佳摇滚专辑”奖的“新裤子”、刚从美国巡演归来的“重塑雕像的权利”以及别具风格的“后海大鲨鱼”,将首次集体亮相迷笛音乐节。有着“任性的工业之音”美称的“AK-17”将连续7届助阵迷笛音乐节,这支在第七届音乐风云榜夺得“最佳摇滚新人”奖的乐队经过多次“大换血”将带着前所未有的冷峻与霸气挺进迷笛音乐节。

在乐队演出间歇,“主舞台”大屏幕上将放映参演乐队的短片。“瘦人”、“面孔”、“窒息”、“脑浊”、“The Verse”、“飘”、“反光镜”、“Tookoo”、“Dengel”和“苏阳”等乐队将在短片中用各自不同的形式讲述环保可以怎样走进生活。谢天笑因为灌录新唱片而未能参加本届迷笛音乐节,他仍然会以在短片中出镜的形式在舞台上与乐迷们见面。

迷笛音乐节第二舞台由吉他中国网站协办,有28支中国乐队及12支外国乐队演出;第三舞台由“Sub Jam-观音唱片”负责监制的电子音乐家的表演舞台,该舞台将于音乐节第4天推出“民谣日”;第四舞台由“凹凸文化”旗下的“焱”舞曲品牌精心大造,中外32位DJ高手将带来风格迥异的舞曲,并将在音乐节第4天全面展示中国电子舞曲的精神与震动;第五舞台是本届音乐节的“亮点”,中外众多嘻哈乐队及高手将全力大造“Groove”互动空间。

场外舞台设在北二环的星光娱乐现场,是由洋鬼摇滚和重型音乐杂志监制的大型室内演出,迷笛节期间每晚有四支中外乐队演出,该舞台于5月5日将推出“重型之夜”,是一场荟萃中外重型乐队的大型演出。由《城市画报》协办的I-Mart创意市集也将登陆迷笛音乐节,来自北京、上海、广州、天津、厦门和台北等城市的“地摊达人”将隆重聚会打造创意无限的盛典。

刚刚从摩登天空传来消息,这家有着国际视野的本土独立唱片公司正在积极筹备10月份同样在“海淀公园”举办的首届“摩登天空音乐节”,一直倡导“新音乐,新生活”的摩登天空创始人、清醒乐队主唱沈黎晖曾多次前往欧洲对多个音乐节进行观摩取经,他表示10月份的“摩登天空音乐节”将会是一个立体的呈现,参与者不仅仅是参与者更是表演者, 音乐节将更好玩儿更放松,一些新奇的环节将会带给观众一些新的体验,希望参加音乐节成为年轻人的一种生活方式。□
