满天繁星

首部由509位普通人拍摄的纪实影像共创而成的竖屏院线电影。影片通过鲜活、生动、直接、朴素的自拍影像，呈现了一个背井离乡、奋力拼搏在社会生产一线的当代中国人群像：他们在田野上、在工厂里、在运输途中、在钢筋水泥间，体验着生命的酷暑与寒冬。一个个跌跌撞撞却又欢颜前行的人物，在面对困境与征服困境的循环往复中展现出强大的人格力量，在漂泊奋斗与身心还乡中勾勒出属于国人的情义世界。影片从物质追求和精神归宿两方面关注快速变迁的时代背景下那些微小却饱含生命力的个体，通过芸芸众生的“自画像”看见一个生动真实的当代中国。

冬天到了，在白雪覆盖的山谷里，一只饥肠辘辘的小狐狸一步一个脚印。他已经饿了很多天，希望能快点找到点儿吃的。正在这时，一座木房子出现在小狐狸的面前。那是熊妈妈和两只熊宝宝的家。此时此刻，妈妈正在给他们做好吃的煎饼，两个小家伙馋得直流口水。终于，妈妈的煎饼做好了，大熊和小熊端着煎饼要到外面去吃，不过他们却为了分饼的问题吵了起来。这时候，小狐狸出现在熊宝宝们的面前，他假意要帮助他们分饼，可却故意将饼掰的一大一小。小熊们自然不甘，小狐狸便顺势将大的一半咬掉一些，由于咬掉的比较多，和另一半大小不同，于是又转过头咬另一半。最终，好吃的煎饼都进了狐狸的肚子……

Passages from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake 1965 16mm film 90minsThis was the first attempt to cinematize the works of Irish author James Joyce. Based more on a stage adaptation by Mary Manning than the Joyce novel itself, the film concentrates on Dublin pubkeeper Finnegan (Martin J. Kelly), who while in the throes of inebriation has a vision of his own death. As the bemused Finnegan lies in his coffin, his friends gather for his wake. The "corpse" tries to cut through the keening and platitudes by probing the innermost thoughts of those closest to him. The surprising aspect of this film is that so much of its difficult text works on screen--a tribute to the loving care of scripter/director/ editor Mary Ellen Bute, who, while preparing this film spent her waking hours picking the brains and burrowing through the resource materials of the James Joyce Society.Although director Mary Ellen Bute’s highly regarded Finnegans Wake (aka Passages from Finnegans Wake) is a unique film that is likely to baffle anyone unfamiliar with James Joyce, it cannot be dismissed merely as a literary exercise. The director was right in claiming that her film was “not a translation of the book but a reaction to it”. It is actually based on a stage play by Mary Manning, who was also responsible for the screenplay. Joyce’s elliptical rhetoric and intricate punning, which might be considered a formidable barrier to the filming of this most opaque of his works, proved to be an attraction to Bute, whose enthusiasm for the ‘visual’ and ‘kinetic’ quality of his language led her to the surprising but well-judged move of running subtitles from the original text to support the dialogue.Visual music pioneer Mary Ellen Bute's final film was also her first feature film. James Joyce's classic story of Irish tavern-keeper who dreams of attending his own wake is brought to the screen with a sparkling energy which highlights its maker's career-long exploration of kinetic abstract animation. Perhaps best described as a 'film poem,' Passages from Finnegans Wake was the first attempt to 'cinematize' the works of James Joyce, featuring the author's highly original language spoken by characters and presented as text on screen.
