The Beijing News reported on April 22 On April 21, U.S. time, the New York Times website released a short film created by five international directors, including Jia Zhangke, based on the "epidemic" background. Among them, the short film "Visit" created by Jia Zhangke reflects the daily life of people in the epidemic with one visit.
It is reported that this is a short filming plan for Thessaloniki Film Festival in Greece with the theme of "space" and the new crown pneumonia epidemic as the background, focusing on living in isolation. The project invites multiple directors from around the world to create the same topic. Each film is about 3 minutes long and must be completed in an indoor space. The directors who joined this short film project include Iltico Inyetti ("Body and Spirit"), Radu Jude ("Cheers"), Denis Kotai ("Soft Skin"), etc. Before this, Jia Zhangke stated on social platforms that he used a mobile phone and a computer to complete the shooting of the short film in one day, and his partners used the simplest software to complete the filming in their respective homes. The short film "Visit" was starred by Lian Yirui of Tsinghua University Architectural Design Institute and Liang Jiayan, CEO of Pingyao International Film Festival. Lian Yirui is also the architect of Pingyao Film Palace.
In an interview with The New York Times, Jia Zhangke said, "The completion of this series of short films marks the victory of life. They show that no matter what difficult situation, human thought can still breathe freely through movies. In At this critical moment, we need each other’s words and beliefs to highlight our connection to each other through movies.” Jia Zhangke also recalled in an interview: “In the past, directors in this world can be divided into two types: those who have experienced war and those who have not. Those who have experienced war. Perhaps after many years, we can say that directors in this world can be divided into two other types: those who have experienced the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and those who have not experienced the new crown pneumonia epidemic. This epidemic will definitely make us think for a long time. And reshape our film culture."
