Watching a movie at the Shanghai International Film Festival, I occasionally look back to see the audience's expressions illuminated by the screen. That is an expression shared by people who love movies. It is difficult to describe it in words. After thinking about it, the sentence in the lyrics is still accurate: "Your eternal innocence and innocence." This is also the unique atmosphere of the Shanghai Film Festival.
Some people also ridiculed that in order to maintain this "sense of atmosphere", they dare not arrive late or leave early, dare not whisper to each other, and dare not turn on their mobile phones, otherwise there will be righteous viewers to stop them. The tacit understanding formed by everyone reflects a simple sense of ownership: because we cherish this festival so much, we want to make it better.
The Shanghai International Film Festival itself is a people's festival, and the broad participation of the audience has always been its characteristic. Not to mention the "ticket-grabbing war" on the annual film festival ticketing day, during the screening, citizens spontaneously collect film reviews, theater services and other information from various audiences for your reference; some movie fans have developed free ticket exchange app. It is convenient for more people to watch their favorite movies; some citizens even signed up to be subtitlers for the Shanghai International Film Festival, many of whom are college students.
I also noticed a detail. At this year’s Shanghai International Film Festival, the Citizen’s Movie Watching Manual, which condenses the essence of the film schedule, was once again available to movie fans. This booklet, which was born in 2006 and collects "golden reviews" of released films, has involved private forces from the beginning. There are many movie enthusiasts who voluntarily signed up in the writing team. Their professions are also diverse, some are lawyers, some are accountants, and some are Translation...
It can be seen that in the People's City of Shanghai, the value and significance of the Shanghai Film Festival has gone beyond the simple supply of cultural products - what it demonstrates is a more subjective sense of participation. In other words, this is a festival shared by the people, and it is a festival jointly built by the people. For Shanghai, compared with simple cultural consumption, this subjective value may be an existence worth cherishing more, and it is also the proper meaning of a people's city.
At the Golden Goblet Ceremony of the 26th Shanghai International Film Festival held on the evening of the 15th, the chairman of the main competition unit jury and French director Chen Yingxiong said on behalf of the judges: "As judges, we are not judging movies. On the contrary, It is these movies that test how we can accurately express the beauty contained in them."
Perhaps we can borrow the words of director Chen Yingxiong. As an audience, we are not just watching movies, it is the film festival that inspires people to explore more cultural connotations for this city. , Add more awareness of cultural heritage. Compared with other forms of media, the "consciousness" based on film can penetrate people's hearts more and often has a more far-reaching effect.
stretches the time dimension so you can see it more clearly. Over the past 30 years since the Shanghai Film Festival was born, a collective including citizens, audiences, movie fans, creators and other different groups have jointly enriched it, shaped it, achieved it, and built a virtuous circle of film ecology - the audience The active participation of the film industry has created a strong film atmosphere, which provides richer soil and a more diversified market for film production, venture capital, etc., allowing film creation to become more prosperous, which in turn further enhances the audience's participation in the film industry. Cinema's wishes. The construction of the
ecosystem is not a day's work, but the result of long-term efforts. The poster design of this year's Shanghai International Film Festival has this meaning. In the neon light and shadow, theaters familiar to Shanghai Film Festival fans such as Grand Guangming Cinema, Shanghai Cinemas, Cathay Cinema, and Lyceum Theater gradually appear. The accumulation of light and shadow for a century, The gathering of people coming and going creates a scene unique to this movie city.
The light and shadow in the theater shine on the face and into the heart, further confirming the subjectivity of people, and the subjectivity of people further constitutes the subjectivity of the city. This year's Shanghai International Film Festival marks the fifth anniversary of Shanghai's implementation of the important concept of "people's city". The power and significance carried by the word "people" are by no means limited to cinemas, let alone the 10-day festival. When the screen goes out and the audience leaves, there will be more care for people's needs, encouragement for people's participation, and stimulation of people's vitality, which will light up everywhere in the city.
