James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?
归来了,那曾经远射天狼星,学徐霞客游历八方,目光矍铄的焚鹤人。他说,西子湾是他最後的归宿。《逍遥游》跟随余光中夫妇的游屐,牵引出诗人的乡愁、文学启蒙、写作风格与文坛交游,更可见其走过中西思潮交会澎湃的岁月,找寻属於自己的声音。在那些铿锵的思维与文句垒叠起来的生命史中,余光中最後把身心都托付给岛屿南方的海湾,和夫人一起,静静陪伴对方的烛光。
城市是人类文明高度发展的产物,也是一个高度人为制造的环境。能够在城市生活的野生动物,一定是将自己嵌入到了城市运转及人类活动,对生态系统能否正常运转具有指示作用。它们和人类一样,也是城市里的居民,它们的存在有着极为重要的价值。本片以城市里的野生动物为主要观照对象,以启发人们的环境保护意识,思考更为合理的城市发展之路:怎样的城市规划及运转方式,才会为人类提供更美好的生活,实现人与自然的和谐发展。
