工匠达人 (2010) Douban
actor: 田中要次
在亚洲,将工匠达人尊为人生目标和典范的国家,唯有日本。这个国家绝大多数企业人,在各自的工作环境里力争成为达人。企业的经营者和管理阶层本来就有一种强烈的“武士”志向,醉心于“德川家康式人心掌控术”。相比之下,普通老百姓更喜欢工匠达人。不,这种喜欢的程度不妨说成日本人喜欢工匠达人甚至胜过喜欢“天才”。所谓“工匠达人气质”首先属于赞誉之词,其含义包括敬重工匠达人的倔犟性格在内。工匠中间若有将其本领发挥到极致者,他将享受“达人”的桂冠,受到最大的尊敬。热爱手作,一心坚定不只是为商业利益存在的人们,一定要找这部片来看看,意义远远大于一部纪录片本身。

Empreintes: Enki Bilal, au-delà de l'image (2010) Douban
director: Gloria Campana actor: Enki Bilal
In 1960, Bilal arrived for the first time at the Gare de l'Est in Paris. He was then 10 years old, did not speak a word of French but is already talented in the drawing. Years later, millions of albums sold around the world led to his success and popularity. Then he took another step in developing his post-apocalyptic worlds on the brink of explosion, inspiring his own films such as "Bunker Palace Hôtel", "Tykho Moon" or "Immortel (ad vitam)".
This TV documentary (broadcasted on January 2010, France 5) shows how his graphic world and imagination are grown up around great poets (Baudelaire) or fantastic writers (Edgar Allan Poe, Lovecraft). And it goes beyond the image, to make us discover the wounded, deracinated artist still in the footsteps ("empreintes" in French) of his childhood.

Do It Yourself - The Story Of Rough Trade (2009) Douban
Do It Yourself - The Story Of Rough Trade
9.0 (8 ratings) director: BBC
other title: 自己动手做: Rough Trade 故事
The Rough Trade story begins more than thirty years ago on 20th February 1976. Britain was in the grip of an IRA bombing campaign; a future prime minister was beginning to make her mark on middle England, where punk was yet to run amok; and a young Cambridge graduate called Geoff Travis opened a new shop at 202 Kensington Park Road, just off Ladbroke Grove in West London. The Rough Trade shop sold obscure and challenging records by bands like American art-rockers Pere Ubu, offering an alternative to the middle-of-the-road rock music that dominated the music business.
In January 1977, when a record by Manchester punk band Buzzcocks appeared in the shop, Rough Trade found itself in the right place at the right time to make an impact far beyond that of a neighbourhood music store. When Spiral Scratch was released in 1977, the idea of putting out a single without the support of an established record company was incredible. But Rough Trade was to become the headquarters of a revolt against this corporate monopoly - it was stocking records by bands inspired by the idea that they could do it themselves.
But selling a few independent records over the counter was not going to change the world. Early independent labels had to hand over their distribution to the likes of EMI or CBS. But one man at Rough Trade challenged that monopoly. Richard Scott joined Rough Trade in 1977 and became the architect of a grand scheme that was nothing short of revolutionary: independent nationwide distribution.
