导演: 顾桃

类型: 纪录片

上映日期: 2007年

语言: 汉语普通话 / 鄂温克语，中英字幕

影片介绍：

    中国北部的大兴安岭，有一支颇为传奇的民族——使鹿鄂温克。 300年前，他们来自更北方的西伯利亚。他们世代以打猎和饲养驯鹿为生，拥有自己传统的生活方式。

    他们喜欢喝酒，酒后也会闹事，他们喜欢驯鹿，因为驯鹿是他们的生活。他们用最原始的生活方式，演绎一个民族的传统，也哭诉着敖鲁古雅文化消逝的悲哀。喜欢敖乡的那位艺术家，更喜欢经常酒后闹事的柳霞。艺术家最珍贵的就是自己画完的话，立刻就烧掉，他不同于世俗，不同于另一类最正常的艺术家，他的画，给天看，给地看，给月亮星星看，也给自己看，这才是一个真正的艺术家，追求的是真正的艺术，不做金钱的奴隶。

    2003年，他们走出大山，搬进政府所建的定居点，禁猎也随之来临。失去森林和猎枪的鄂温克人深感寂寞，部分族人回到山上，重新开始传统的生活。时光悄悄流逝，鹿铃声也渐渐远去……那片曾经熟悉的森林还会属于他们吗？

导演介绍：

顾桃，是一位屡获国际奖项的民族志与纪录片导演。1970 年出生于中国内蒙古大兴安岭脚下。他的作品曾在鹿特丹国际电影节、山形国际纪录片电影节、多伦多国际电影节等多个国际影展放映。

顾桃的纪录片直接关注中国东北少数民族的生活。2005 年，他回到家乡的山中，开始拍摄关于当地原住民——鄂温克族——的纪录片。不过，与父亲（顾得清：民俗调查摄影师）不同的是，顾桃看到的是一种自上世纪70年代以来，在政府干预与环境破坏下逐渐受到严重限制的生活方式。

他选择将镜头对准正在消逝的传统与生活方式，以及边缘群体如何在现代世界中适应与转变。多年来，顾桃完成了多部关于当代中国北方少数民族生存状况的纪录片作品，包括《犴达罕》《敖鲁古雅·敖鲁古雅》《雨果的假期》等。

Screening of documentary “Aoluguya, Aoluguya”

+ Online Q&A with Director Gu Tao

Director: Gu Tao

Genre: Documentary

Release Date: 2007

Language: Chinese & Evenki, Chinese & English Subtitles

About the documentary

In the Greater Khingan Mountains of northern China lives a legendary people—the Reindeer Ewenki. Three hundred years ago, they came from farther north in Siberia. For generations, they have lived by hunting and herding reindeer, sustaining their own traditional way of life.

They enjoy drinking, and sometimes cause trouble when drunk. They love their reindeer, because the reindeer are their livelihood—the center of their world. Through an almost primordial way of life, they embody the traditions of their people, while also lamenting the gradual disappearance of the Aoluguya culture.

Among them is an artist who loves Aoluguya, and loves even more Liu Xia, who often stirs up trouble after drinking. What is most precious to this artist is that once he finishes a painting, he burns it immediately. He is unlike the worldly, conventional artist. His paintings are not for sale—they are for the sky, for the earth, for the moon and stars, and for himself. This, perhaps, is what a true artist seeks: genuine art, not servitude to money.

In 2003, they left the mountains and moved into a government-built settlement, and a hunting ban soon followed. Deprived of their forests and their rifles, the Ewenki felt a profound loneliness. Some returned to the mountains, resuming their traditional life.

As time slips quietly by, the sound of reindeer bells gradually fades… Will the forest that once felt so familiar ever truly belong to them again?

Director: Gu Tao

Gu Tao is an award-winning Ethnographic and documentary filmmaker. He was born in 1970 in Inner Mongolia, China, at the base of the Great Xingan Mountains. His works have been screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and other festivals. Born in Inner Mongolia, China. Gu graduated in 1995 from Inner Mongolia Art College with a major in oil painting.When he was a child, his father was an ethnographer and photographer, and focused his time and energy documenting the nomadic tribes in the mountains near their home. Gu Tao’s documentaries deal directly with minority lives in China’s northeast. In 2005 he began following in his father’s footsteps, traveling back to the mountains of his hometown to make a documentary about its original residents, the Ewenki people. Gu Tao’s focus, however, was different from his father’s, as he saw a way of life that had been severely limited by governmental intrusion and environmental destruction, since the 1970’s when his father was doing his filming. He has chosen to focus his films on dying traditions and ways of life, and how marginalized groups are adapting to the modern world. Over the years, Gu Tao has completed many documentaries on the living condition of ethnic minorities in Northern China in contemporary China, which include Aoluguya, Aoluguya, The Last Moose of Aoluguya, Lost Mountain, and Yuguo and His Mother.
