In NOSTALGIA, filmmaker Haolun Shu relays vivid details of growing up among Shanghai’s narrow alleys and courtyards murmuring with neighborhood gossip, back when Shanghai was still closed to the world. While sharing a wealth of memories, Shu uses his camera to capture the everyday details of his home before they are wiped out forever. NOSTALGIA is a cinematic essay that combines voice-over, interviews and re-enactments into a rich reflection of a city’s past and present. In paying tribute to cultural traditions before they fade into history, Shu’s work evokes a deeply moving feeling of nostalgia, “one that has universal appeal… grounded in humanist principles” (Thomas Podvin, That’s Shanghai), and “the questions raised are being asked in cities around the world” (Reel China)

《乡愁》以第一人称的方式纪录了现代化进程中不断变迁的上海都市景观。当导演舒浩仑得知其三代人曾经生活成长的上海石库门里弄“大中里”要被拆迁时,他决定拿起摄影机回到那里纪录消失的时光、人物和空间。从和奶奶聊天,到弄堂里的迂回穿行,还有对儿时生活混合着纪录与虚构的重现,我们看到了那个正在或已经消失了的纯朴温暖的上海石库门生活。导演敏锐的观察和深刻的内心独白,道出了普通居民们为大规模城市发展和“现代化”所付出的巨大代价。本片为第55届柏林电影节Talent Campus单元正式参展片,第三届Reel China当代中国纪录片双年展最佳纪录片。
