剧情简介
Barefoot roadtrip around Guinea in search of the first film made by a local filmmaker. A charming and cinematic adventure, where the journey and the destination are equally important, and a film about collective memory and porous film reels. Does a film exist if no one has seen it? Guinean film director Thierno Souleymane Diallo goes on a barefoot road trip around his country to find the mythical 1953 film ‘Mouramani’ – the first Guinean film made by a local filmmaker. But it is not easy to find the film or anyone who has seen it for that matter. Some believe it is about the Islamisation of the Mandinka people. Others that it is about the relationship between a dog and its owner. Along the way, Diallo passes old, abandoned cinemas and dusty piles of moisture-damaged film reels. ‘The Cemetery of Cinema’ is a charming, cinematic adventure in which the journey is almost as important as the destination, and where the encounters along the way remind us of the importance of preserving a shared memory and culturel heritage.
观众心声
墓地可以是肃穆的，但电影的墓地里只有接连的哀叹。不是《天堂电影院》浪漫主义的缅怀，不是《好莱坞往事》那一类的“电影之电影”，或许跟《金的音像店》更为接近，都是在“档案馆”与“墓地”之间划等号：不被作为文化基因而传递的媒介内容都是死的。一旦放进了档案馆，电影胶片便处于生命周期的尾声，活着的只有学者对电影名字的引用，然而，真相是学者们或许知道马马杜图雷其人，也知道《穆拉马尼》，甚至知道这是第一部非洲几内亚电影，但没人声称看过这部电影，即使大家认为“法国人总是会保存一份拷贝”，而布瓦达西的硝酸纤维素、醋酸纤维素胶片同样具有生命周期。也即，1953年发生的焚毁胶片的事件会被掩埋在历史的废墟之下，一部非洲电影史将失去其源头，也不会有人记得那个80米长、8米宽的牢房里曾有127个囚徒在传抄美丽的诗句。
寻找失落的电影，令人唏嘘的电影文化传承。别样的浪漫，感动。
赤脚走过的泥土，肩膀上的木板摄像机，蓝色西装外面的纸板写着最古老的电影的名字。最后也想有一个能让自己如此追寻的信念
导演锲而不舍寻找几内亚第一部电影，过程中带出社会的变迁与沉重的历史，令人感动
赤足寻根，踏泥而行，胶片风化，如人老去。没有档案文化，历史就不存在了。没有放映空间，集体经验就不存在了。寻找电影想起尤利西斯的凝视，狱中忆影想起蜘蛛女之吻。给大人木制摄影机造梦，给孩子道具机关枪洒血。当你一无所有，意味着拥有一切：用眼睛拍摄，用耳朵录音，用头脑剪辑，用嘴巴放映。结尾人机合一想起盒中博罗。
