摘要
本文从介绍我国系列电影纪录片《中华文明》的“新纪录电影”观念开始,评介了近年来西方出现的“新纪录电影”现象。“新纪录电影”的特征可以概括为:(1)积极主张虚构的纪录电影;(2)否定传统定义的纪录电影;(3)关注历史问题的纪录电影;(4)拥有大量观众的纪录电影。“新纪录电影”积极主张在纪录电影创作中采用虚构手段,目的在于更好地揭示真实。“新纪录电影”尤其否定真实电影的观念和手法。如果说真实电影注重展示“生活是怎样的”,那么“新纪录电影”则偏重揭示“生活是如何成为这样的”。由于拓展了表现手法和范围,“新纪录电影”吸引了大量观众。
This paper examines the New Documentary phenomenon recently appeares both in Western countries and China,which(1)advocates the meaning of fictionalization,(2)negates the traditional concept of documentary,(3)pays attention to the history events,(4)possesses a large audience.The New Documenatary especially negates the concepts of the cinéma-vérité,attempts to overturn its commitment to realistically record'life as it is'in favor of a deeper investigation of 'how it became as it is',and advocates to'use all the strategies of fictional construction to reach truth'.As the New Documentary enriches the meaning and the spheres of represetation,the New Documenatary films hold a strong appeal to the audiences.
