Karya menakjubkan dari Luo Li ini terinspirasi dari cerita-cerita masa kecil Ayahnya sendiri. Desain tata suara, gambar dan narasi secara kreatif disuguhkan oleh Luo Li mirip dengan bagaimana kerja ingatan. Luo Li dan keluarganya dibesarkan di sepanjang Sungai Yangtze (Chang Jiang) di Cina yang juga menjadi latar belakang di mana cerita film diungkap. Jika dilihat sekilas dari waktu dan ruang, serta kaitannya dengan cara-cara migrasi di zaman sekarang, cerita-cerita dalam film ini mengalir seperti sungai pada peta masa lalu. Film dimulai di kantor dan lorong-lorong York University dengan memperlihatkan seorang karyawan yang akan pensiun. Pria ini berbicara tentang berlalunya waktu dan bagaimana tahun 2010 dulunya terasa seperti masa depan yang jauh. Percakapan ini menandai \u2018warna\u2019 film ini, di mana detil-detil yang terjadi pada hidup sehari-hari terasa universal. Pengalaman-pengalaman pribadi yang unik dipahami lebur dalam perasaan kolektif, sebagaimana yang dikemukakan oleh Luo Li, “masa peralihan dan masa ketidakpastian.”<\/p>\n Gambar dari peta perpustakaan di Universitasnya tertebar ke jalanan hujan di Cina. Cerita-cerita keluarga Li dimulai di sini dan diilustrasikan oleh sinematografi yang elegan, elipsis, dan berulang-ulang: anak laki-laki dan seorang wanita berjalan menaiki tangga, seorang pria berenang di kolam air yang besar, tiga anak laki-laki berjalan di sepanjang tepi sungai. Persepsi penonton akan keabadian, pecah dan “masa peralihan” diperjelas dengan fakta bahwa cerita-cerita dari masa lalu diilustrasikan dengan gambar-gambar kekinian.<\/p>\n Visualnya tidak langsung merujuk narasi yang ada, terkadang rujukan gambar bisa lebih awal atau belakangan dari narasi voice over, sebuah teknik yang menciptakan penundaan kejelasan dan logika cerita secara menarik. Li menjelaskan bahwa motivasinya membuat film ini tidak sekedar untuk mendokumentasikan kisah-kisah pribadi keluarganya, tetapi juga untuk menampilkan apa-apa saja yang memengaruhi kehidupan orang-orang Cina di masa lalu, bagaimana kehidupan mereka dipengaruhi oleh lingkungan tempat mereka dibesarkan, dan bagaimana kenangan mereka bersinggungan dengan masa kini. Li menulis:. “Bersama-sama, kisah-kisah pribadi lintas generasi ini menjadi sebuah alegori dari sejarah modern Cina …. Sejarah sering didominasi oleh narasi besar yang berpusat pada peristiwa penting dan tokoh-tokoh kuat. Namun saya percaya bahwa kenangan pribadi manusia biasa sama pentingnya. Kenangan ini dapat memberikan kita sudut dan perspektif yang berbeda untuk melihat masa kini dan untuk merencanakan masa depan … Dengan film ini saya berharap telah berkontribusi mendokumentasikan dan melestarikan sejarah lokal melalui representasi cerita dan kenangan dari orang biasa. ”<\/p>\n Luo Li\u00a0adalah pembuat film independen. Ia lahir dan dibesarkan di Cina. Ia belajar produksi film dan menyelesaikan MFA di Kanada. Karya Li telah diputar secara internasional di festival film dan galeri-galeri antara lainnya Arsenal (Berlin), Cinematheque Ontario (Toronto), Images Festival (Toronto), Nouveau Cinema International Film and New Media Festival (Montreal), Reyes Hecoles Gallery (Mexico City), BAFICI (Buenos Aires), China Independent Film Festival, Jeonju International Film Festival, International Film Festival or Rotterdam, New Directors\/New Films (New York), dan Hong Kong International Film Festival.

Dalam percakapan di layar, elemen-elemen ini mengajukan pertanyaan tentang representasi, etika dan persepsi dalam cara kita melihat gambar. ”<\/p>\n Jean-Paul Kelly\u00a0(lahir di London, Kanada, 1977) membuat gambar, foto dan video yang sering ditampilkan bersama-sama. Karyanya telah dipamerkan di The Galeri Seni Kontemporer Power Plant (Toronto, 2012), Mercer Union (Toronto, 2010), Ed Video (Guelph, 2010), Cambridge Galeri (2009) dan Galeri TPW (Toronto, 2005 dan 2008).

Rincian peristiwa traumatik diberitahu dengan presisi faktual, namun nama-nama, tempat dan tanggal telah dihapus untuk melindungi subjek. Kombinasi presisi dan abstraksi membawa kita untuk merefleksikan kenyataan bahwa kisah mengerikan subyek memang terlalu umum, sedangkan fakta bahwa ia selamat tidak. ”<\/p>\n Jorge Lozano\u00a0telah bekerja sebagai film dan seniman video selama hampir lima puluh tahun dan telah mendapat pengakuan nasional dan internasional. Film-filmnya telah diputar antara lainnya di Toronto International Film Festival dan Sundance, dan karya-karya eksperimentalnya telah dipamerkan di banyak festival internasional dan galeri.

Li inventively structures sound, image and narration, evoking the ways in which memory operates. The filmmaker and his family grew up along the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) in China, which serves as the backdrop on which the film’s stories unfold. Seen from a distance in both time and space, and in relation to contemporary forms of migration, these stories flow like rivers on a map of the past. The film begins in the nondescript offices and hallways of York University with an employee who is about to retire. The man comments on the passing of time and how 2010 once seemed like the distant future. This conversation sets the tone of the film, where the ordinary details of daily life take on a universal quality. These unique personal experiences convey collectively understood feelings of, as Li puts it, “inbetweenness, uncertainty and the indeterminacy.”<\/span><\/p>\n Images from the map library at the University segue to a rainy street in China. The stories of Li’s family begin here and are illustrated by a suite of elegantly composed, elliptical, repeating shots: a boy and a woman walking up steps; a man swimming in a wide body of water; a trio of boys walking along a riverbank. The audience’s perception of timelessness, rupture and “inbetweenness” is enhanced by the fact that stories from the past are illustrated with contemporary images.<\/span><\/p>\n The shots don’t always immediately or directly refer to the narration, sometimes preceding and sometimes following it, a technique that creates an engaging delay in the revelation of the film’s internal logic. Li explains that he was motivated to make the film to not only document the personal stories of his family, but also to represent aspects of what an ordinary Chinese person’s life was like in the past, how their lives were affected by the environment they grew up in, and how their memories intersect with the present. Li writes: “Together, these cross-generational personal stories become an allegory in regard to the modern history of China.\u2026 History is often dominated by grand narratives that centre on significant events and powerful figures. However, I believe that ordinary people’s personal memories are equally important. These memories can provide us with different angles and perspectives to look at the present and plan for the future\u2026 With Rivers and My Father I hope to contribute to the documentation and preservation of local history through the representation of ordinary people’s stories and memories.”<\/span><\/p>\n Luo Li\u00a0is an independent filmmaker. He was born and grew up in China. He studied film production and completed his MFA in Canada. Li\u2019s works have screened internationally in festivals and galleries including Arsenal (Berlin), Cinematheque Ontario (Toronto), Images Festival (Toronto), Nouveau Cinema International Film and New Media Festival (Montreal), Reyes Hecoles Gallery (Mexico City), BAFICI (Buenos Aires), China Independent Film Festival, Jeonju International Film Festival, International Film Festival or Rotterdam, New Directors\/New Films (New York), and Hong Kong International Film Festival.

In conversation on the screen, these elements put forth questions about representation, ethics and perception in how we look at images.\u201c<\/span><\/p>\n Jean-Paul Kelly\u00a0(born in London, Canada, 1977) creates drawings, photographs and videos that are often displayed together.

The details of the traumatic event are told with matter-of-fact precision, but names, places and dates have been removed to protect the subject. The combination of precision and abstraction lead us to reflect on the fact that the subject’s chilling story is indeed all too common, while the fact that he survived is not.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Jorge Lozano\u00a0has been working as a film and video artist for nearly fifty years and has achieved national and international recognition.
