The Giant Buddhas (2005) Douban
The Giant Buddhas
director: 克里斯蒂安·弗雷 actor: Taysir Alony / Sayeed Mirza Hussain
other title: 巴米扬大佛 / 阿富汗巨佛生死劫
A filmmaker's investigation into the destruction of giant Buddha statues in Afghanistan.
在2001年二月,塔利班政权下令摧毁阿富汗境内所有非伊斯兰的雕像,其中包括已经一千六百年历史的巴米扬山谷Bamiyanvalley巨佛。千餘年来,巴米扬巨佛见证了阿富汗地带的历史变迁,从阿拉伯、波斯、成吉思汗的蒙古大军等,不管历将多少死亡与破坏,没有一个政权大胆地将其毁灭;如今这两尊见证千年历史变迁的巴米扬巨佛被塔利班政权炸毁,之所以让全世界关心政治、历史、宗教的专家学者痛心。
曾获奥斯卡最佳纪录片提名的瑞士导演克里斯钦佛瑞Christian Frei,在事件发生后,四度造访巴米扬,并开始拍摄《阿富汗巨佛生死劫》一片。纪录片採取多重叙事手法製作,追溯几世纪前拜访巨佛的中国玄奘大师的脚步,巴米扬巨佛被摧毁及重建过程,如何影响当地居民、阿富汗移民...并将之与自己前往阿富汗的行程并置,全片挑战不同文化、政治观点呈现。
曾经应邀来台的导演克里斯钦佛瑞表示:「看待巨佛被毁又重建本就有很多观点和争议,所以才要以多线进行的方式,来以对抗基本教义派非黑即白的绝对态度。
《阿富汗巨佛生死劫》这支精彩的纪录片,因为片长的缘故,『观点360°』节目特地安排以两个小时的特集型式,在本季的最后一集(2006/9/22)播出。经过五季65集来自全球各地优秀纪录片,透过来自不同的主题,『观点360°』尽可能的在制式的传媒声音之外,让公视观眾可以看看世界还有许多人事物值得凝视,如今藉由这支《阿富汗巨佛生死劫》划下个完美的句点,也谢谢观眾长时间来的支持及指教,希望未来的日子里,能再次提供更精彩的『观点360°』,与大家见面。

The Medusa Raft (1980) Douban
Splav Meduze
director: 卡波·阿西莫维奇·戈迪纳 actor: Olga Kacijan / Vladislava Milosavljevic
other title: 美杜莎之筏 / Splav Meduze
This is a brilliant surrealistic film.
But also a fully realistic story about a time when the brave avant-guarde artists were trying to explore the unknown landscapes of human possibilities.
The contrast between two realities: the poor village and the dadaist artists is shown very smart and brings the possibility of changing the world by the art.
Unfortunately, that progressive ideals of making the world better by revealing new areas of imagination, that ruled in the first half of XX century, were crushed by the war.
And, the tragedy finishes: the artistic ideals are dead, international art brotherhood also, but, as a real disaster: Yugoslavia is also dead, as a country, but as an artistic vision of nation's brotherhood, too.
So, the art falls apart

A raw and telling portrait of a people left behind by the modern world, inspired by the work of photographer Martin Martinček - whose pictures of the inhabitants of the Liptov region in central Slovakia, encompassed by the Tatra mountains, distilled entire lifetimes into luminous and intransient images. Dušan Hanák's continuation of these photographs takes the shape of a poetic visual essay, capturing more comprehensive vignettes of their isolated human experiences.
