> 2001, Digital Short Films (In Public, par Jia Zhang-Ke / Digitopia, par John Akomfrah / A Conversation with God, par Tsai Ming-liang) 2002 3x30 min (Corée du Sud)
Dans ces trois films de 30 minutes chacun, trois réalisateurs de renommée internationale - à l'appel du festival coréen de cinéma, Jeonju Film Festival, explorent les possibilités de la vidéo numérique. Deux portraits vivants urbains et une histoire sur l'amour numérique, très différents les uns des autres.

The Korean Jeonju Film Festival commissioned three film-makers to make a film and only placed two restrictions on them: the length should be no more than thirty minutes and they had to film with a digital videocamera. Despite the very different results, all three films include moments in which the future of digital film becomes tangible. Digitopia by John Akomfrah is about a man who is torn back and forth between the digital and analogue world. He is desperately seeking love and tries to turn his digital relationship into a real relationship. The subject of his affections, a prostitute, is however less than enthusiastic.
For In Public, Jia spent 45 days filming public places in the former mining town of Datung. The influence of capitalism on the town is clear: an old bus is now a restaurant, a railway station has suddenly been turned into a disco. Datung has become a town without a function, but despite the depression, the inhabitants remain optimistic.
A Conversation with God is the most elusive of the three. Here Tsai Ming-liang searches for God, in a collage of lively images from the big city. We see a medium in trance, a river bank strewn with dead fish and a striptease. An exciting contemporary document.

> 1997, The River (He liu) - 115 min, Taïwan.
