冬天，蒂妲絲雲(yún)頓拜訪落於法國小山村四十餘年的友約翰伯格，兩人漫步於靄白雪的村莊、或深或淺，在小屋中聊起童年記憶歷史承接。春天，透過凝動物，經(jīng)歷一場人類與動關(guān)係的思辨。夏天，於山中和三兩藝術(shù)家漫談當(dāng)代治，佐以舊時影片、音樂探索藝術(shù)如何述說政治。天，蒂妲再度帶著孩子拜約翰以及約翰之子，在視遼闊的山村生活中，發(fā)現(xiàn)承的意念存在於所觀看的一片風(fēng)景。四部短片象徵季的更迭，而山村的風(fēng)景動物、生活則是年復(fù)一年循環(huán)，體現(xiàn)約翰口中「無延伸的此時此刻」。他的想及人生觀與古老的農(nóng)舍青翠的綠地、放牧的牛群呼相應(yīng)，說著這個世界周人物景物的故事，阿爾卑山裡的小村莊，則是最迷的舞臺。（以上來自2016臺北金馬影展）The Seasons in Quincy is a feature-length documentary film in four parts by the Derek Jarman Lab at Birkbeck, in collaboration with Til da Swinton, Christopher Roth and Colin MacCabe. Together, the parts constitute a film portrait of John Berger, the British writer and thinker.In 1973 Berger abandoned the metropolis to live in the tiny Alpine village of Quincy. He realized that subsistence peasant farming, which had sustained humanity for millennia, was drawing to an historical close. He determined to spend the rest of his life bearing witness to this vanishing existence, not least by participating in it. Berger’s trilogy Into their Labours chronicles the peasant life of this Alpine village and its surrounding countryside. Our portrait places Berger in the rhythm of the seasons in Quincy.The four parts of the film each address different strands of Berger's life and work. The first, Ways of Listening, directed by Colin MacCabe, deals with fathers and friendship. Spring, directed by Christopher Roth, considers Berger's writing on our relationship with animals in juxtaposition with the animals that surround him in the Haute Savoie. A Song for Politics, directed by Colin MacCabe and Bartek Dziadosz, reflects on politics through a conversation between Berger, Colin MacCabe, Ben Lerner, Akshi Singh and Christopher Roth. The last part, Harvest, directed by Tilda Swinton, revisits Quincy to meditate on belonging and continuity with John and his son Yves.來自http://www.jarmanlab.org/the-seasons-in-quincy-four-portraits-of-john-berger.html
