Li Wen at East Lake (2015)

李珞 actor: 李文 / 左炎 …
other title: 李文漫游东湖
As with everything in life, the same goes for East Lake, a threatened lake near the expanding mega city of Wuhan. You can get worked up about it and get involved - or you can think, it won’t affect me. Fortunately there’s the intriguing new film by Li Luo, which brings to an end these doubts. East Lake (Dong Hu) is a scenic area in the city of Wuhan, threatened by new amusement parks, high-rises and even an airport. ‘East Lake is getting smaller and smaller, but it's bigger and bigger in my memory,’ wrote a friend to the Canada-based Chinese filmmaker Li Luo as a result of the development. In a lucid way, the film investigates how the lake is linked to the people, leading to reflection on identity and survival in today’s China. The form is varied and free. Li uses documentary as well as fictional style elements, and often an ironic mixture of both. © iffr.com

other title: 泛美机械公司 / Maquinaria Panamericana
When you work for Maquinaria Panamericana, you’re part of the family. It’s hard to think of a better workplace: a convenient location next to Mexico City Airport, a generous boss in the form of Don Alejandro, spacious premises and whole decades of proud company tradition. Maybe that’s why everything looks a bit cluttered these days, there are almost too many happy memories to hold on to. But that’s no impediment to work, all the countless files, computers and paraphernalia are like trusted companions. Working here is more about spending time together anyway, chatting, joking, keeping the company spirit alive, productivity and efficiency be damned. Sometimes the future arrives without notice. Don Alejandro dies and with him the illusion, he’s been paying the wages out of his own pocket and the company is bankrupt. How do you react to a death in the family, to the end of an era? You lock the gates tightly, you look for solutions, you process your grief, you drink until you no longer can, you tolerate no dissention. Change can feel so surreal: the banging of an iron rod, the ceremonial washing of a corpse, water spurting up from under the asphalt. It’s going to be a long night… berlinale 2016

My Land (2015)
Douban
★ 7.3 6 ratings
范俭 actor: 陈军 / 李小凤
other title: 吾土
剧情简介: 中国是全世界城市化速度最快的国家,中国已经有两亿多农民工,每年仍有更多农民涌入城市。陈军是居住在北京北五环外的一个农民工。15年前,他和他的家人从 河北农村老家来到北京,作为菜农,在北京承包了一片菜地。同時,陈军在自己家里建立了一个儿童乐园,和妻子小凤一起为周围农民工家庭的孩子免费提供书籍和 玩具。 2010 年,由于北京的城市扩张,陈军承包的菜地被村委会卖掉,陈军一家失去经济来源,他们苦心经营的家园也要面临限期拆除。陈军认为补偿太低,而且他也无法回到 农村老家——家乡的土地已卖掉,陋室已荒芜,因此他拒绝在拆迁协议上签字。此后,他和家人遭遇了村委会对他的家园断水断电和不断的暴力威胁。陈军则用拍摄 DV、发微博等方式开始艰苦的抗争。 除了运用网络的力量,陈军还找律師学习法律知识,并找到国土局要求公开征地资讯——他准备用法律来保护自己的家园。他想要的绝不仅仅是更多的赔偿款,而是要 在城市里被公正地对待,并为妻子、孩子、父母寻求一个可以安顿的家。随着时间的推移,陈军年幼的孩子慢慢在这里长大,这片荒芜的土地成了她的乐园。 2013年,陈军夫妇有了第二个孩子,他们只能回老家生孩子。回到北京后,陈军面临新的选择——是继续坚守在旧家园,还是为他们的下一代找一个安全宁静的 新家园。 导演阐述: 中国农民工有2.4亿人,他们从农村來到城市打工,为城市发展做出巨大贡献,但由于中国的户籍制度,大部分农民工无法在城市长期定居,而他們又不愿回农村,因为中国农村大多贫穷落后。 中国农民对于土地的感情非常深厚。土地是他们的衣食之源,是他们的家园,是他们的命根子。可是当代中国农民却常常遭遇土地的双重剥夺:在家乡农村的土地被所 谓的村集体剥夺,搞开发或租赁,仅给农民微薄补偿;到了城市,继续为城市人种地,再次对土地投入深厚情感,并在这里结婚生子安家,结果到头来土地又被剥 夺,补偿仍然极其微薄,完全不足以在城市里安身立命。所以像陈军这样的农民无论在城市还是在农村都不真正拥有土地,很多时候他们只是一厢情愿地想要拥有那 片土地。 《吾土》展现的不仅仅是一个在中国司空见惯的野蛮拆迁故事,也不是一个在法律意义上探讨主人公是否应该得到更多补偿的故事,而是进城农民在双重剥夺的背景下在城市里如何安身立命的故事,也是关于农民工家庭的勇气与温暖、农民工自身权利意识觉醒的故事。 新一届中国政府继续加快城镇化的速度,并以此作为刺激经济增长的重要手段,而这意味着更多的农民涌入城市。他们能在城市安家吗?能在城市过上有尊严的生活吗?透过《吾土》我们必须思考这些问题。
