因为今年是威尼斯电影节70周年华诞，陈可辛与贝托鲁奇、金基德、贾樟柯等全球知名导演，以“重启未来（Future Reload）”为题，拍摄了70部短片，向威尼斯电影节“祝寿”。28日当地时间22时，这70部短片正式播出。

已拍过三部电影却无缘放映的独立导演秀二（西岛秀俊 饰），长久以来始终坚持拍摄真正艺术电影的目标，他一方面控诉着当下的商业体制，一方面尽自己所能让更多的人了解电影之美。谁知长久以来资助他的哥哥，因向自己所在的黑帮高额举债无力偿还被杀。备受打击的秀二，必须在两周之内还清哥哥的债务。最终，他做出了一个连黑道都分为震惊的决定：那就是以哥哥被打死的厕所为据点，通过挨揍来赚钱还债。黑帮分子的拳打脚踢让他皮开肉绽，而在那一刻影史上一幕幕经典场景盘桓脑海给秀二以短暂的慰籍。平日里，他会参拜黑泽明、沟口健二、小津安二郎的墓地，仿佛从巨匠那里会得到前进的勇气与力量。
就这样，还钱的最后期限慢慢到来……

This is an unusual film of exceptional values--75 minutes long in color, with hardly any spoken dialogs. I saw this Iranian film in Farsi without English subtitles at the Early Iranian cinema retrospective on-going International Film Festival of Kerala, India. That I was watching a print without subtitles did not make a difference as there were very few lines of spoken dialogs.
This is a very accessible film for any audience to enjoy--its story and values are not merely Iranian, it's universal.
The film is set in rural Iran that had not tasted petro-dollar prosperity. The setting is on fringes of desert land, where water is scarce, rainfall scanty and hardly any blade of grass is green. Add to it wind and dust that buffets and whips man and animal and you can imagine plight of the people who live on the fringes of society.
The film is moving tale of a young teenager returning to his village with a goat--only to find his family and villagers have moved on to escape natures vagaries and that one old man remains. He gives the goat to him and goes in search of his family. Water is scarce and well water it treated with reverence and never wasted.

被导演阵容闪花了眼吧？不要点想看了 这个片子只在爱沙尼亚放映一次 就被销毁了
This sounds like the kind of half-brilliant, half-mad kind of film making that rarely happens anymore. It's called 60 Seconds of Solitude in Year Zero, and it's an omnibus production organized by the city of Talinn, Estonia, featuring the directing talents from around the world. Screening this August in Talinn, the film will be comprised of 60 one-minute silent shorts which will be projected outdoors on a large screen for one showing only.
Because afterwards, the festival organizers will burn the screen and the single existing 35 MM print of the movie.
The current slate of directors includes Mark Boswell, Albert Serra, Mika Taanila, Malcolm Le Grice, Kari Yli-Annala, Ilppo Pohjola, Naomi Kawase, Sogo Ishii, Shinji Aoyama, Joshua and Ben Sadfadie, and Philippe Grandrieux, with more names on the way. 60 Seconds of Solitude in Year Zero is still accepting submissions from filmmakers on their site.

It all began with "Black Friday" - a massacre on Sept 8, 1978, by the Shah's police. Official pronouncements put the death toll at 200, but the next day the people of Teheran witnessed how thousands of bodies were brought to Behast Zahra cemetery. Yet even this wasn't the whole extent of the tragedy. As the families continued looking for their relatives they began to realize just how many had disappeared. Over the next few months the massacres continued, with many thousands more disappearing, until February 11th, 1979, victory day for the Revolution. Naderi's film follows this search for the missing, through which the terrible truth is gradually revealed. The film is not only a documentary but also a document of a horrible crime.

艾米鲁是一个身体瘦弱的小男孩，他和街上别的男孩一样，整日在波斯湾海滩上拾甁子、捡破烂，来换取生存所需。在他们生活的这片沙漠里，有火车通过。追逐火车成了这些孩子们的一个共同的游戏。他们听到火车到来的声音，就会放下手中的东西，奋力去追，追过火车，追过同伴。艾米鲁在很小的时候就已经懂得了生活的意义，他知道，如果想要生活得好，就要努力奋斗。这种生活的感悟就是来自于他追火车的乐趣中。整个过程就是赛跑，和火车赛跑，和别人赛跑，追逐并且超越了，就可以获取更好生活的能量。为了达到这种目标，艾米鲁努力学习知识，在艰苦的生存环境下奋力挣扎。逆境求生和学习成长成为了他最熟悉的两种比赛。

Naderi's second film is set in the slums of Tehran. Hanging out in a pool hall, Ali Khoshdast becomes involved in a brawl with three brothers, and accidently kills one of them. He runs for his life, eventually taking refuge in the home of a young woman. The victim's brothers continue the chase, and finally close in on him. Following the murder, streets, alleys and houses that were all part of Ali's everyday world suddenly become dangerous and hostile. Although in many ways a classic tale of revenge, Naderi uses this story to imply that an underlying violence pervades society, ready to burst forth with or without justification.

Set on the sun-drenched southern coast of Iran, from which director Amir Naderi hails, "Harmonica" begins as a young boy receives a musical present from abroad. Fascinated and envious, his friends make him the leader of the pack, as they compete for the privilege of holding the harmonica or even blowing a few notes. No one is more obsessed than Amiroo, gentle and heavy-set, who seems willing to do anything to get close to the harmonica and its owner. Few films have more powerfully depicted the cruelty that is also part of childhood, as games and horseplay take on an increasingly sinister edge.

埃迪·帕克，一个美国蓝领，和老婆特雷西及他12岁的儿子在赌城拉斯维加斯的郊区过活。作为一个狂热的赌徒，埃迪从来没有大大的赚他一笔。而另一面，特雷西就像打理她沙漠里的小小花园一样，费心经营着她濒临破碎的家。此刻，一个神秘的陌生人出现了。他声称他们可以帮他们家庭走出困境……
《拉斯维加斯：真人真事》的导演是伊朗人阿米尔·纳德利。他近20年来一直住在美国。本片里他尝试用经常在艺术片里使用的中长距离拍摄手法来讲述一个非常通俗非常白烂的商业故事。一旦观众捱过电影开头的几分钟，熟悉了影片的拍摄手法，那么他们就会发现，这个故事还是很好看的。
《拉斯维加斯》一片的商业操作手法能给很多人上一课：这部影片主题相当美国化，也就是说，相当通俗；同时采用了实验式中距离拍摄手法。

The film portrays the search by an 11-year old deaf and mute boy for an audio-cassette his mother recorded shortly before her death.

This film, based on a well-known novel of the same name by Sadegh Chooback, is about a wronged man seeking revenge. Director Amir Nader i's inspiration for making the film was one of his childhood heroes, the legendary Zar Mohammad, who waged a one-man war against four swindlers and provoked wide spread popular sentiment against tyranny.
