惊世第一季

This film is about haunting memories of Asia's late 20th-century modernization. The story departs from a 1965 United States embargo on the hair trade, known as the "Communist Hair Ban". Yet, in every wig resides a ghost from the imperial past.Wigs were vital for the rise of the Asian economy in the post-war era. In the heyday of the 1960s, it was the number four export in Hong Kong's export-orientated industrialization. Between Mao's China - the largest source of hair supplies, and the insatiable Western market, Hong Kong functioned as the gateway. In 1965, U.S. Treasury Department imposed an embargo on "Asiatic hair", to cut off foreign currency to Communist China in the hair trade. The highly racialized category of "Asiatic hair" was later revised as "communist hair", to enable the wig industry to develop in U.S. allies including mainly South Korea and Japan, which led to a significant reconfiguration of light industry in East Asia. Departing from the moment of the communist hair ban, through stories of movement, diaspora and migration, this project examines the role of Hong Kong as a transient space that mediates and sanitizes the connection between different worlds, and the relationship between U.S. Imperialism and East Asia order in the Cold War era.Produced by: Ruoyao Jane YaoDirector of Photography: Yavuz Selim IslerCameraman (Hong Kong): Fai WanSound Recording: Franco van der LindeCasting Director: Sai-wang LauMakeup: Ika KartikaColor Grading: Bob LemmVoice-over:Jia Zhao, Hamza Junaid, Tommy TseCast:Zoenie Liwen Deng, Ruoyao Jane Yao, Zoe Tang, Michael de Ross, Sidney Vereycken, Sai-wang Lau, Jo-Lene OngProduced by:Geodesic Studio, Vines FilmsThanks toWAAG Society, Amsterdam16mm Film Transfer and ScanningAndec Filmtechnik, Berlin

卓别林是当之无愧的电影大师！电影是1975年完成，两年后卓别林就去世了。卓别林不仅仅是那个著名的喜剧演员、塑造了那个著名的流浪汉，而且他在很多方面彻底的改变了电影。卓别林的出现伴随着20年代默片黄金时代，在那时形成了美国电影中最早的一种类型片——喜剧片。而卓别林的喜 剧形象不同于以往出现的“丑角”。丑角来源于古代国王身边的小丑，他们负责取悦国王，仅仅是取悦。而且卓别林的喜剧形象不仅仅有取悦、逗乐的成分，还承担了对社会的思索和批判。这也是为什么后来他在美国受到各种各样的指责，以致不得不远走欧洲。但最后在1972年，奥斯卡无法不面对卓别林的伟大成就，而为他颁发终身成就奖。评语称：他为世界电影作出了无法估量的伟大贡献……卓别林塑造了著名的“夏尔洛”，那个礼帽、拐棍、西装、鸭子步的形象。正是这种抽象的造型表现，形成了他自己的电影美学体系。相比于他松散的剧情设计，他更强调表演。于是卓别林的电影的重点是造型的艺术，那塑造那个样子才是电影的核心。这甚至影响到20年代兴起的欧洲先锋电影运动。达达主义、抽象主义、表现主义、超现实主义都在这场运动中兴起。法国先锋派最先接受了这种“造型”艺术的表现力。他们评论：“夏尔洛”无疑是“纯电影”的上帝。
