冬天，蒂妲絲頓拜訪落腳於國小山村四十年的好友約翰格，兩人漫步靄靄白雪的村、或深或淺地在小屋中聊起年記憶與歷史接。春天，透凝視動物，經一場人類與動關係的思辨。天，於山村中三兩藝術家漫當代政治，佐舊時影片、音，探索藝術如述說政治。秋，蒂妲再度帶孩子拜訪約翰及約翰之子，視野遼闊的山生活中，發(fā)現承的意念存在所觀看的每一風景。四部短象徵四季的更，而山村的風、動物、生活是年復一年的環(huán)，體現約翰中「無窮延伸此時此刻」。的思想及人生與古老的農舍青翠的綠地、牧的牛群相呼應，說著這個界周遭人物景的故事，阿爾斯山裡的小村，則是最迷人舞臺。（以上自2016臺北金馬影展）The Seasons in Quincy is a feature-length documentary film in four parts by the Derek Jarman Lab at Birkbeck, in collaboration with Til da Swinton, Christopher Roth and Colin MacCabe. Together, the parts constitute a film portrait of John Berger, the British writer and thinker.In 1973 Berger abandoned the metropolis to live in the tiny Alpine village of Quincy. He realized that subsistence peasant farming, which had sustained humanity for millennia, was drawing to an historical close. He determined to spend the rest of his life bearing witness to this vanishing existence, not least by participating in it. Berger’s trilogy Into their Labours chronicles the peasant life of this Alpine village and its surrounding countryside. Our portrait places Berger in the rhythm of the seasons in Quincy.The four parts of the film each address different strands of Berger's life and work. The first, Ways of Listening, directed by Colin MacCabe, deals with fathers and friendship. Spring, directed by Christopher Roth, considers Berger's writing on our relationship with animals in juxtaposition with the animals that surround him in the Haute Savoie. A Song for Politics, directed by Colin MacCabe and Bartek Dziadosz, reflects on politics through a conversation between Berger, Colin MacCabe, Ben Lerner, Akshi Singh and Christopher Roth. The last part, Harvest, directed by Tilda Swinton, revisits Quincy to meditate on belonging and continuity with John and his son Yves.來自http://www.jarmanlab.org/the-seasons-in-quincy-four-portraits-of-john-berger.html
