7915公里

A motor-sports spectacle that kicks up plenty of dust. On the trail of the 2007 Dakar Rallye ‘7915 KM’ undertakes a search, along the way encountering the variety to be found in Africa’s present in Morocco, Sahrawi Republic, Mauritania, Mali and Senegal. ‘7915 KM’ demonstrates the extent of this distance, which is the result of political and economic conditions, and also the ideas and prejudices to be found in both Europe and Africa. It also makes the closeness tangible, which becomes clear in the stories of everyday life, work, hopes and worries. Keeping the sobering reality in mind, it creates an homage to humanity and slowness which questions deep-seated perceptions and the role of Europeans in numerous, presumably African, problems.

我记得，我还曾说过，恐怖片大多悲剧。也许，我想着还有，那些带着悲悯情感的故事，是否也能让我几乎麻木不仁的情感世界被再度激活呢。对于电影的要求，我似乎越来越“重口味”；不管是视听上这种纯感官的感受，或者在情感上那种淡然的思索。也许，是因为浸淫了这么些年以及那么多的电影，“清淡口感”已经无法对我的视听官能以及情感世界造成多大的冲击了。而恐怖片作为我曾经极其迷恋的一个片种，在这方面的要求似乎更甚。
