日本演员关口知宏的铁道之旅,英国篇
本片无疑是专属于这个时代的纪录片。在这个各种新媒体不断涌现的时代,人们接触讯息的管道前所未有的纷杂,各种「假新闻」或「另类事实」(alternative fact)的星火满天飞,引发话题在全球延烧。随著媒体日益分化,以及社群媒体掌握讯息散布管道,政治宣传在其中扮演了什麽样的角色?它如何默默影响世界秩序的转变? 这部纪录片将揭发那些寻求权力的人,如何透过政治宣传手段达到其目的。导演除了分析当前的政治社会情境,同时也爬梳了政治宣传的历史,回顾过往历史上几个关键时刻,揭露当时政治宣传如何被当成巩固国族及控制人群的工具。就当今的情势而言,本片绝对是一则必要且警世的寓言。 政治宣传的发展历史源远流长,并且经常与时俱进。从远古时期的洞穴岩画,到西斯汀教堂的壁画,再到推特上的针锋相对,政治宣传运用各种形式的媒体,来动摇、威逼、恐吓人民。人们被谎言或半真半假的消息喂养著,然而他们往往对此类讯息飢不择食。险恶的威胁和不切实际的诺言,这些不断高升的情绪诉求,完全压制了理性思考的声音。当谎言推翻了真相,便成为了新的现实,半真半假的讯息在狂言妄语中不断被散布,真实就再没有被讨论的空间。政治宣传本身是无害的,但这项工具一旦落入最恶名昭彰的煽动者手中,后果将是致命的。

For her ‘Blond Ambition’ tour in 1990, pop superstar Madonna was looking for performers who knew how to vogue. Out of countless hopefuls, the gay dancers Salim, Kevin, Carlton, José, Luis and Gabriel were chosen along with huphopper Oliver, the only straight guy. The tour was accompanied by a film crew and Madonna cast herself in the role of mother figure of her stage family. The boys soon found fans among homosexual youths who saw them as role models, while the tour came to epitomise Madonna’s commitment to gay liberation and the acknowledgement of AIDS. But the idyll fell apart after the tour. Although the dancers were pivotal to Madonna’s message, they weren't all living it.

KITTY LOVE: AN HOMAGE TO CATS is a one-hour Dutch documentary (in Dutch with English subtitles) narrated by Abatutu, a feline "star" of Dutch stage and screen. Via self congratulatory narration voiced by, well, a human, Abatutu describes his talent and inevitable rise to the top. A news reporter provides some backstory as she interviews the cat's owner, an animal handler who does non-human casting for movies and other entertainments. Between snippets of that constructed narrative are cat home videos, hundreds of clips of cats demonstrating the ability to be endlessly absorbed by the complexity of rolls of yarn, the enduring wetness of water, and the towering terror of little white bunnies.
