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。
《强岛》(Strong Island) 导演:扬斯·福特(Yance Ford) 入围2017年圣丹斯电影节纪录片单元
Created by the monarch, Dukedoms are gradually becoming extinct - the last one was created by Queen Victoria. In this one-off documentary Michael Waldman meets some of the last vestiges of this level of British aristocracy, and asks what has become of those who remain. In 2012 South African Bruce Murray found himself becoming the 12th Duke of Atholl and heading up the only private army in Europe - the Atholl Highlanders. If Camilla Osborne had been a boy, she would have inherited her father’s Dukedom, but now there is no longer a Duke of Leeds. The Duke and Duchess of St Albans don’t have a stately pile, but do have their coronets and coronation robes. One of the few Dukes to still sit in the House of Lords, The Eighth Duke of Montrose (pictured) is a hill farmer by trade. He continues the family tradition of being intimately involved in the political relationship between Scotland and England. The Duchess of Rutland was determined to make Belvoir Castle an efficient business, living onsite in one wing, with her estranged husband the Duke living in another. Their elder teen daughters are prepared for when the title is passed down to their younger brother. Whilst at Blenheim Palace, Lady Rosemary Spencer Churchill, daughter of the 10th Duke of Marlborough, revisits her childhood home. Her nephew succeeded to the title only recently and it’s a rather a different Blenheim to the one she remembers.
