张杨导演新作《火山》入围第31届阿姆斯特丹国际纪录片节
日前，阿姆斯特丹国际纪录片电影节(IDFA)公布了本届官方选片名单，张杨导演的新作《火山》入围。
作为世界最大、最权威的纪录片电影节之一，阿姆斯特丹电影节凭借其独到的选片眼光和影响力，享有着“纪录片奥斯卡”的美誉。
在某种意义上，《火山》是《冈仁波齐》类型的一个延续，无论是创作方式，还是选题立意，都有这一阶段明显的“张杨风格”，朴素自然接地气。《冈仁波齐》拍的是西藏，《火山》拍的是云南；《冈仁波齐》的镜头关注的是藏族，《火山》聚焦的是白族；创作时间上，都是一年，从冬天拍到春天。《火山》的团队仍是《冈仁波齐》的团队，执行制片人还是成功，摄影师还是郭达明。
张杨导演作品《冈仁波齐》曾刷新艺术片票房纪录
“云南是我的新家乡”，张杨导演的云南情结很重。1998年张杨去大理旅行，从此就爱上了这个地方。20年来，先是旅居，然后长居，他在大理创作了《洗澡》、《飞越老人院》、《落叶归根》、《向日葵》几部电影的剧本。沉寂几年之后，又创作了导演风格的转型之作《冈仁波齐》。云南大理作为张杨的创作基地和灵感来源，他一直想用电影影像去勾勒一个朴素的大理，一个不只是被世外桃源、风花雪月等标签符号化的大理。
《火山》中出现了许多在汉族中已经逐渐消失的生活习俗和礼仪，而这些民俗在白族中则被保存的非常完好。在大理的土地上，传统的生活方式和现代的生活方式温和地融合在一起，都被镜头巧妙地记录了下来。全片色彩浓郁，缤纷而质朴，生活从画中来，电影到生活中去。
11月中旬，《火山》将在荷兰阿姆斯特丹电影节进行全球首映。
值得一提的是，包括张杨的《火山》在内，总共7位中国导演的作品入选IDFA竞赛单元和展映单元。分别是：周铭影的《世外桃源》，张杨的《火山》，岳廷的《红毛皇帝》，王兵的《死灵魂》，王小帅的《我的镜头》，朱日坤的《安妮》，雎安奇《大字》。

《世外桃源》
周铭影
首映竞赛单元
在重庆的一栋摩天大楼上有一家独特的餐厅。大圆桌的晚餐结合以古老传统和当代爱国主义为灵感的舞蹈和武术精彩表演。在幕后，该公司的创始人，专制的领导者，一个看起来很无聊的烟民，将严格的集体主义强加于他的员工身上，个人意见被禁止，而像他一样的思考和行为才是规范的。自我批评是一种频繁进行的仪式。
导演拍摄该公司几个月的生活，展现了员工接受这种规训的情况。片名从陶渊明关于乌托邦社会的古老寓言中借用而来。这家餐馆是类似的实验吗？但是当领导的演讲变得激烈，愤怒，冗长，他的团队开始出现信任的裂痕，疲惫的工作和卑微的薪水并不足以解释现代奇观……

《我的镜头》
王小帅
大师展映单元
一场走遍中国的个人旅行仪式，一次流动影像与静止图像的交融实验革命，一个用王小帅之眼去见证家族迁移与社会变迁的纪录作品。
从天安门开始，记录在北京生活的人如何在红绿变化的股票市场里自处，描画狭小的格子间里安静的年轻人、轰隆隆的工厂里静止不动的工人，观照他们在结束漫长的工作后如何穿过京城沧桑的街道，还会重新展现已经荒废的《十七岁的单车》拍摄地，记录围坐在饭桌前的一家人，然后坐着火车出发，用个人的足迹去到父亲的家乡青岛、故乡贵阳、武汉，同时将镜头对准消失的自然村和仓促而起的新农村，礼拜的清真教徒，荒废的工厂，盲目兴起的鬼城。
王小帅始终在诘问：“他们是谁？”“他们从哪里来？”“他们要到哪里去？”“这是哪里？”“和我有什么样的关系？”“这里是我父亲的老家吗？”“这里是我母亲的老家吗？”“这里是中国吗？”“这里是现在的中国？过去的中国？还是未来的中国？”“我认识他吗？”“我是谁？”这些问题可能找不到一个答案，但带着这些疑虑，王小帅带着他熟悉的摄影机一路走一路拍，变换一种方式用镜头与观众相对，这一次，他不讲故事，只是要完成这一场“我”与“中国”的对话。
《安妮》
朱日坤
佳片展映单元
安妮是一个10岁的中国小姑娘。2013年，她转学到中国合肥市的一个小学不久，被警察从学校带走，不允许她继续在这个学校上学。因为她的父亲是一个被政府监控的异议人士。政府借控制安妮的上学来禁止他的父亲迁移。
得到消息的各地人士陆续聚集学校门口的小广场上声援安妮，要求学校给她复学。有人在广场上的乒乓球台上给安妮上课。一些律师发起了绝食抗议。一些行动者和访民也赶来表达他们政治及个人权益方面的诉求。抗议者之间也常因意见不同而争议。放学的儿童和父母带着怀疑的眼光从旁经过。周围的居民对这个事情各有高见。清洁人员抱怨抗议者的标语影响了环境，保安一边安抚保洁人员一边要求抗议者配合管理。安妮带着她心爱的滑板一个人在广场上练习。校园的国歌声响起。我拿起摄影机到围栏外，里面优秀学生在操场上讲演。校长过来，他用他的方式说明了他的是非观，并指出了一个替罪羊。每一个人的话似乎都有真实和虚构，每个人的逻辑和现实都在对峙。你只能从中去判断或者猜想。每天夜晚，抗议者离开之后，广场被另外一群人占据，昏暗的灯光下是广场舞的舞台。
《大字》
雎安奇
艺术展映单元
从谷歌地图中位于新疆东部一处无人区的距离地面 10 公里的空中，可以俯瞰到有 30 个巨大的中国字和 1 个感叹号盘桓在荒凉的戈壁上，每个字有一个足球场那么大。这些大字是一些文革的口号，由碎石堆砌而成，在 1968 年这里修建了一个秘密的军用机场，这些大字就是这个机场的航标。摄影机在这些大字中穿行，在碎石堆积而成的乌托邦的幻觉里浮现出 1968 年世界各地的革命浪潮，一些浪潮在开始，一些浪潮被熄灭……
附：一部中国题材的外国导演作品
