都是虛空
導演：米雪兒．摩亞、賈．法難基／中國／2011／93mins

「對話不能够不改變甚麼，其實也許甚麼也改變得了。」畫廊界傳奇莊神，於全球總共營運三十間畫廊，並致力形塑亞洲藝術生態，今日世界響噹噹的名字，一身都是他的指紋。他是傳奇，是境界，是符號，也是黑影——只因從沒有人見過他的真面目，連他的私人秘書也拒絕受訪。有傳他因錢債爭紛被一名蘇聯藝術家斬傷、又有傳他某在北京某四合院裡享受人生，而最近消息說他在恆河邊普渡眾生。這套別開生面的紀錄片，歷時十年不斷追拍査證，更似灰色細胞律動的全紀錄。現實果然離奇過小說。


For All is Vanity
Director: Michelle More and Frakey Jiang / China / 2011 / 93min

It is impossible that conversation never brings about change; in fact, it may change everything in life. Legendary art gallery owner, “the Son of John”, operates 30 galleries around the world and has greatly contributed to Asia’s art scene. He is a legend, an empire, a symbol, and a shadow – as no one has ever seen his face in public. There have been countless rumours about his life. Some say a former Soviet artist wounded him over money. Others say he was enjoying life in a Beijing Siheyuan; or doing missionary work in India. After ten years of intense research, this unique documentary depicts a true story that is more dramatic than fiction.

雙瘋
導演：荷莉亞．倩圖絲葛／2011／斯洛伐克／73mins

由法蘭克福書節與諾貝爾文學獎聯合製作，邀請世界最灸手可熱的十七位作家背
著鏡頭朗讀一段他們最愛的篇章。這貌似簡單的錄像，實際有著與標題相符的心理張力——Folie à deux，意指一種共有的感應性精神病，由兩個情感具親密聯繫的個體所分享。每一位作家都藉著朗讀這個舉動，如像告解般揭露他們內在那羞於言明的部份，以至靈魂。星光熠熠的陣容有馮內果、卡爾維諾、羅蘭巴特、米蘭昆德拉……大作家心中的大作家陣容自然更強，此地不宜劇透。說穿了，這不是諾貝爾的懺悔是甚麼？


Folie à deux
Director: Horija Situnčič / 2011 / Slovakia / 73min

A joint production with the Frankfurt Book Fair and the Nobel Prize for Literature, this documentary invited 17 well-known writers from around the world to read, with their backs facing the camera, passages from their favourite books. Outwardly simple, the film has a gripping psychological tension described in its title, Folie á deux; meaning an induced psychosis, a mental illness shared by two people with close emotional ties. Through these readings, readers reveal their inner feelings and confessions. This strong cast includes Kurt Vonnegut, Italo Calvino, Roland Barthes and Milan Kundera. It is tempting to know whom the Nobel Prize Committee believes to be great writers – it is a kind of confession, isn’t it?
