Kuwait’s constitution says that every person has the right to a job, so in some places 20 people are employed for one person’s job. In South Korea, they work so much that a policy has been introduced to turn off computers at the end of the day so that employees can’t work any more. In the US, they give up over 500 million holiday hours each year, while Amazon’s drivers are trying to form a union. Meanwhile, robots are poised to take over most jobs and put the rest of us out of work. Work is so crucial to our identity and what we spend our waking hours on that it is barely noticed anymore. A lot has happened since a group of Puritan priests invented the concept of work ethic in the 1600s, and in the 21st century the very concept of work is in many ways disintegrating. A perfect situation for a filmmaker like Swedish mastermind Erik Gandini, who travels the world to explore what the concept of work means today – if it means anything at all.

为什么消费主义的生活型态激起了前所未有的愤怒?为什么大肆采购的权力并没有带给我们所谓幸福?为什么坐在钱堆里却感到苍白与空虚?这一切和在第三世界工厂的廉价奴役有什么关系?《超消费》这部影片用充满个人情绪的方式去探讨这些问题而不接纳或采用其他科学理论或主义。影片制作历时三年,在美国,印度,中国,义大利,瑞典,匈牙利,加拿大和古巴拍摄,再由极具音乐才华的剪缉大师约翰索德伯格用复杂的剪辑方式呈现出来。

埃里克·甘迪尼的纪录片《电视政治》Erik Gandini, “Videocracy”
自从20世纪50年代显像管电视机风靡以来,电视机就被指责为降低美国公众智力的罪魁祸首。但在意大利,饱受丑闻困扰的西尔维奥·贝鲁斯科尼总理通过他对其所在国家最大传媒集团的垄断,控制着信息的传播。他通过媒体持续炮轰意大利广播电视公司(RAI),并在自家的Mediaset传媒集团的频道上大量播放肮脏的黄色节目,背后均有其更深层的原因。如果你想了解一位亿万富翁企业家的电视王国是如何改变了整个意大利的政治和大众传媒版图的,埃里克·甘迪尼精心构思的纪录片《电视政治》可以给你很多启发,让你对贝鲁斯科尼现象有一个深入的思考。这位出生在意大利、现居住在瑞典的导演(曾执导《关塔那摩:战争新规则》)并没有选择趟进唇枪舌战的文化冲突的浑水,而是采用了更讨巧的第一人称视角。
外滩美术馆北欧纪录片电影节。意大利真是一个奇葩的国度……这纪录片比故事片还好看啊。(
