简介：在1890年之前，作家契科夫（尼古拉斯·吉劳德 Nicolas Giraud 饰）创作的多为富有喜剧和讽刺色彩的轻松作品，他的作品因为诙谐幽默又浅显易懂，深受民众的喜爱，俄国科学院为了表彰他给世界带来的精神财富，将“普希金奖”颁发给了契科夫。1890年，契科夫孤身一人跨越了千山万水，来到了库页岛，这里曾经是政治犯的流放地。库页岛上宛如人间地狱一般的景象深深的撼动了契科夫的内心，他开始意识到，在自己熟悉的世界之外，还有这么多人生活在苦难和贫穷之中。从此，契科夫一改文风，以库页岛之行作为素材，开始撰写揭露沙俄专制制度的作品。
简介：Since 1977, Sam Klemke has been recording himself on film, the #selfieavantlalettre. In that same year, NASA launched the Voyager with the Golden Record. Whereas NASA primarily sketches a positive picture of humanity, Klemke's honest self portraits zoom in on the individual. A special film about time, memory and what it means to be human.‘This year will be my year, it has to be!’ Since 1977, Sam Klemke - a pioneer status updater - has looked back on ‘his year’ using video. With the illusion of progress, he hopes to encourage ‘personal growth and improvement’.Documentary maker Matthew Bate met Klemke on Facebook and became acquainted with his video 35 Years Back Through Time, a super-cut in which Klemke counts backwards from 2011 to his ambitious teenage self. Intrigued by this obsessive film project, Bate used Klemke's personal archive to create a documentary collage that feels like an intimate road trip, with Klemke providing valuable lessons about time. Along the way, he dismantles the dream of success and happiness. Klemke's self-mockery and honesty give the whole thing a light, breezy feel.Through this, Bate interweaves NASA’s Golden Record Project which, just like Klemke’s video project, was launched in 1977. This juxtaposition creates a reflection in which Bate sketches the comprehension of time and self-documenting stories as an inherent human need.
