Filmed in China’s Loess Plateau, where shadow theatre has entertained people and deities for centuries, Of Shadows follows a lively and resilient group of local shadow play performers as they navigate between the rural staging of ancient plays and the urban spectacles of national cultural heritage. While providing a rare glimpse into the nomadic lives of master puppeteers, the film paints a haunting portrait of a revered folk tradition transforming against the backdrop of a country in constant transition.
實驗性紀錄片《影》拍攝於隴東黃土高原的大山之中。它追蹤了當地皮影戲班在鄉村表演的小舞台與文化遺產宣傳的大舞台之間往來穿梭的生活。作品以詩化的筆法描繪草根藝術的內在生命,同時呈現鄉村藝人們在時代交替中扮演的複雜角色,進而反思傳統文化的現代生存。
