War of Art (2019) [Movie] Douban
War of Art
director: Tommy Gulliksen actor: Morten Traavik
other title: 艺术之战
由挪威与德国共同制片的纪录片《艺术之战》中,七名西方艺术家应挪威活动家莫滕•特拉维克(Morten Traavik)的邀请前往韩国邻国首都并与当地艺术创作者对话,这一大胆举动屡次险些因政府组织的集权主义日常生活而遭中断,尽管文化交流的初衷不可避免地引向文化碰撞的灾难,该项目依然幽默地捕捉到双方在艺术、文化和主观性方面的分歧,同时也对独立的西方文化理解方式提出质疑。影片的结论充满矛盾:一方面观众成为某种新开端的见证者,另一方面,朝方和外界的这种受控制的互动的愿望固然真实,但相互作用也意味着受到影响,而这显然不可能。(小易甫字幕组)

Propaganda: The Art of Selling Lies
8.3 (6 ratings) director: Larry Weinstein actor: Ai Weiwei / Shepard Fairey
other title: Propaganda: Wie man Lügen verkauft / Propagande : L'Art de vendre des mensonges
From ancient cave paintings to Twitter feeds and deep fakes, propaganda's rapid progression hasn't compromised its potency. Tracing its effective use by religious figures, politicians and marketers, director Larry Weinstein crafts a persuasive study of the mechanics behind propaganda. This fascinating investigation confronts us with timely questions: If we grow up surrounded by propaganda, how do we know what is true? What risks are inherited by a society tricked into their perceptions? Freedom of speech is critical to a democracy's survival, yet demagogues have consistently exploited that freedom to coerce willing supporters. Contemporary artists, including Kent Monkman, Shepard Fairey and Ai Weiwei, analyze their politically motivated work, creatively co-opting the conventions of disinformation that have permeated their respective cultures. As our platforms for spreading ideas continue to expand in a digital age, dangerous lies have never been better disguised.
