理解“参与式纪录片”

Understanding “Participatory Documentary”

将参与式影像的工作方法纳入参与式纪录片研究,有助于对参与式纪录片的概念中“参与”产生更广泛的理解。参与式影像的参与模式来自加拿大电影局的“B单元”创作传统,并与当地的直接电影有着近似的纪实理念,两者都涉及作者权力的出让。参与式影像的核心在于通过“参与”让主体放弃作者权力,并作为一种内化过程,以空壳容器的方式整合来自不同参与客体的思想观念,进而获得诚实的故事。参与式影像为理解参与式纪录片打开了一个全新的视野。

The inclusion of participatory video methods in the study of participatory documentary contributes to a broader understanding of “participation” in the concept of participatory documentary. The participatory model of participatory video comes from the National Film Board of Canada’s “Unit B” tradition, and shares a similar documentary philosophy with local direct cinema, both of which involve the ceding of authorial power. The core of the participatory image is that “participation” allows the subject to relinquish authorial power, and serves as a process of internalization, integrating ideas from different participating subjects in the form of a hollow container, and thereby obtaining an honest story. The participatory image opens up a new horizon for understanding participatory documentary.
