Yamagata On CathayPlay

山形,日本的一个小城市,在东京北300公里以外的山形辖区,是亚洲第一个举办国际纪录片节的地方。
第一届山形国际纪录片节于1989年10月为庆祝山形城百年纪念举行,此后电影节两年一届,在经过20余年不断对纪录片的展出和推助后,目前已经成为世界上最重要的纪录片电影节之一。
华语纪录片自第一届山形纪录片开办以来,便从未缺席任何一届,两岸三地大量优秀的纪录片作品在日本亮相,在创作和展映层面也形成了出色的延续性和交流性。
中国大陆90年代新纪录片运动的多位作者,都是通过山形开始的国际交流。
吴文光曾坦言:“在九十年代初“纪录片饥饿年代”(国内几乎没有纪录片资源渠道),山形就是我的‘纪录片哺乳库’。”
在山形,吴文光等中国纪录片作者接触到了小川绅介,怀斯曼等享誉国际的纪录片作者,他们将这些人的纪录片方法介绍到国内,使直接电影成为中国独立纪录片三十年来的主流美学。不夸张地说,90年代的山形纪录片展几乎塑造了中国独立纪录片。
CathayPlay决定展映十余部过去三十年在山形参展的中国影片,以此来回顾其历史脉络。

Yamagata, a small city in Japan, 300 kilometers north of Tokyo in the Yamagata Prefecture, was the first place in Asia to host an international documentary film festival.
The first Yamagata International Documentary Festival was held in October 1989 to celebrate the centennial of Yamagata City, and since then the festival has been held once every two years, and after more than 20 years of continuous exhibition and promotion of documentaries, it has now become one of the most important documentary film festivals in the world.
Since the first Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival, Chinese language documentaries have never missed any edition, and a large number of outstanding documentary works from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan have been presented in Japan, producing an continuous exchange at the level of both creativity and exhibition.
Many of the authors of The New Chinese Documentary Movement in the 1990s began their international exchange through Yamagata. Wu Wenguang once confessed, “During the ‘documentary starvation era’ in the early 1990s (when there were virtually no domestic documentary resources), Yamagata was my ‘documentary nourishment bank’.” In Yamagata, Chinese documentary filmmakers such as Wu came into contact with internationally acclaimed documentary filmmakers (Shinsuke Ogawa, Frederick Wiseman and etc.), whose documentary methods they introduced to the country, making Direct Cinema the dominant aesthetic of Chinese independent documentaries for the last three decades. It is no exaggeration to say that Yamagata in the 1990s shaped the landscape of Chinese independent documentary.
With this in mind, CathayPlay has decided to screen over a dozen Chinese films that have been exhibited at Yamagata over the past thirty years as a way to review its historical influence.
