2022-01-17
On January 8, the intangible cultural heritage documentary film "Tiangong Su's works" held a special screening activity in the China Film Archive, attracting nearly 500 viewers to watch the film. 15 sets of Kesi machines were specially set up at the screening site. After the film screening and the exchange between the main creators and the audience, Kesi artists from Suzhou guided the audience to experience the actual operation on site, and felt the delicacy of Suzhou traditional Kesi technology and the brilliance of Suzhou traditional culture. The audience was deeply impressed by the intangible cultural heritage culture by watching recorded films on intangible cultural heritage and experiencing the fresh integration of intangible cultural heritage handicrafts. In recent years, more and more creators have devoted their creative vision to the excellent traditional culture of China, resulting in the emergence of a large number of excellent works with excellent production, elegant style and wide influence, of which the non heritage record films have become an active force. Become an important image support for cultural inheritance At present, intangible cultural heritage documentary films show China's rich and colorful intangible cultural heritage from different angles and different emphases, and collect and retain a large number of precious technical details, technological processes and inheritance stories, which have become an important image support for the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. The drama version of the documentary "I repair cultural relics in the Forbidden City" became popular on the Internet and became a rare "phenomenon level" work in the documentary, which made more young people pay attention to the Forbidden City Museum and pay attention to and love Chinese traditional culture. Subsequently, the documentary film "I repair cultural relics in the Forbidden City" was launched in the strong voice of the audience. Taking time as the main axis, the film tells the different life of cultural relics restorers with a new story line and a plain perspective. The broken circle of the documentary film "I repair cultural relics in the Forbidden City" has set off a creative upsurge. There are more documentary films showing intangible cultural heritage skills, telling craftsman stories and promoting Chinese civilization. The documentary film "bright firewood" focuses on showing the images of Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage inheritors. The film has filmed nearly 150 inheritors of intangible cultural heritage in China, from daily necessities to gold, silver, copper and iron, or the four treasures of study. The lens not only carries the depth of thousands of years of skill inheritance, but also exudes the calm and broad-minded of daily life. The documentary film "Tiangong Su's works" is based on the traditional craft categories of Suzhou, from which 9 typical Su's works such as lamp color, nuclear carving, song brocade and Ming style furniture are extracted, and tells the ingenuity stories of 12 representative inheritors of intangible cultural heritage. With exquisite lens language, the film presents the technological characteristics of a number of human intangible cultural heritages, such as mulberry silk weaving and traditional wood structure architecture, carefully shows the ingenuity and beauty of the intangible cultural heritage, and also conveys the stress, philosophy and temperature contained in the technology. Whether it is to repair cultural relics, embroider brocade, carve jade articles, play guqin, or deduce ancient and modern legends under colorful oil faces, the documentary film delicately engraves these ancient cultures with the imprint of time in sound and painting with vivid, wonderful and plain narration. Become an important carrier of craftsman spirit in the new era The advantages of intangible cultural heritage documentary films are not only to show the wonderful intangible cultural heritage with exquisite lens language, but also to reflect the contemporary Chinese people's attitude and values through the story of "people" passing on art, so as to reflect the Chinese craftsman spirit in the new era. Wang Xiaowen, the inheritor of the lights in Tiangong Su Zuo, is over 70 and still obsessed with creation. He said: "there are only two kinds of lights in the world. If they are hung outside, they will go out when they are on; if they are given to themselves, they will always be on there." Although he is no longer suitable for too fine work, as soon as he starts Su Deng, Wang Xiaowen is like a hot-blooded teenager. "I still want to have a try. At least let the children see what the real Su Deng craftsman is and what the ultimate Su Deng looks like.". The ingenuity story of "choose one thing and end your life" is moving, and what makes the audience feel shocked and resonate is the life ideal of constantly climbing and seeking transcendence. The film is full of emotional pen and ink, writing their plain and extraordinary intangible cultural heritage life. In the documentary films on intangible cultural heritage, there are not only the "entanglement" between people and art, but also the hand in hand and inheritance between people. The inheritance of teachers and apprentices has always been the essence of the protection and development of intangible cultural heritage. It is a long and solid process from selection, training to graduation, which can reflect many ups and downs of life stories and life philosophy. "The power of technology comes from outside." Sun Zengtian, the director of Tiangong Su's works, shared his creative experience. "The so-called 'technology is also close to Tao'. The creator should not only pay attention to the 'technology' of the craft, but also pay attention to the 'Tao' behind the 'technology'. This' Tao 'is the craftsman spirit, also covers culture, emotion and philosophy, and is related to the changes of society, economy and the times." Such creative ideas mean new perspectives and new concerns, and naturally new images will be presented. Become an effective way for the world to understand intangible cultural heritage "On the one hand, young people are unwilling to learn. On the other hand, most of the old masters who master traditional crafts are in their fifties and sixties, and it is difficult for them to integrate into the modern model." The problem of new and old inheritance described in Tiangong suzuo is almost a practical dilemma in the inheritance of most intangible cultural heritage. Yao Huifen, the national representative inheritor of Suzhou embroidery, has high requirements for her disciples. She hopes that the disciples will not only regard Suzhou embroidery as a survival skill, but also stick to it as a lifelong love. Xiangshan Gang father and son reflect the fierce collision between new and old cultures. Generations of craftsmen will withdraw from the historical stage with the changes of the times. How not to become a generation that has come to an end has become a common burden on people's hearts. There are few successors. Naturally, there are reasons such as advanced intangible cultural heritage skills and difficult graduation, but what can not be ignored is the long-standing gap between young people and traditional culture. Many people have never understood and experienced the wonderful intangible cultural heritage art, the profound intangible cultural heritage culture, and the interest and sense of achievement in difficult skills. According to Zhou Kui, associate professor of Communication University of China, "documentary films open the door of intangible cultural heritage culture by showing the skills and wisdom of intangible cultural heritage and telling the vivid stories of intangible cultural heritage inheritors, so as to attract more young forces and advantageous resources to pay attention to and love intangible cultural heritage and participate in the inheritance and protection of intangible cultural heritage". "What the camera records is not only the intangible cultural heritage itself, but also the common memory of the Chinese people." Ji Jun, a postdoctoral at the school of art and media of Beijing Normal University, believes that, "Compared with other art forms, the information conveyed by film is more concentrated, vivid and easy to be accepted by the audience. Documentary film can record and preserve the process details and master apprentice inheritance of important intangible cultural heritage, become an important document resource, spread non heritage with moving stories, carry forward the craftsman spirit, and become an important supporting force to promote the inheritance and revitalization of intangible cultural heritage Quantity. " It is reported that this year's documentary film "Tiangong Su's works" will also be released overseas to show the world the era value of "Su's works" and "Su's works", so that overseas audiences can further understand the spiritual core of Chinese traditional culture. At the same time, the documentary film "looking for intangible cultural heritage", which is listed as the key support project of excellent documentary in 2021 by Hebei Radio, film and Television Bureau, is about to meet the audience and has signed the European distribution right.
