Some documentaries take us to distant places. Others ask us to understand the land beneath our feet again. Asking the Mountains belongs to the latter. It turns its camera toward the mountains on the northern and southern sides of Lhasa, Tibet. These mountains were once barren, dry, and short of green. When the wind passed over the slopes.

《问山》:向高山发问,以绿色作答
有些纪录片,是带我们去看远方;有些纪录片,是让我们重新理解脚下的土地。《问山》属于后者。它把镜头对准西藏拉萨南北两侧的山。那里曾经荒凉、干硬、缺少绿色,风吹过山坡时,尘土像旧日的叹息一样扬起。可纪录片没有停留在荒芜之上。它真正想讲的,是一群人如何在高原之上,把一座座沉默的山慢慢唤醒。

Some documentaries film flowers in order to record natural beauty; others film flowers in order to enter the spiritual world of a people.

The Tree of Life
Some documentaries speak of ecology in order to display the magnificence of nature; others speak of ecology in order to help us understand relationships among lives again. The Tree of Life belongs to the latter. It enters Sanjiangyuan and places its camera among river sources, plateau creatures, snow leopard valleys, salt lakes and wetlan.

Women in a Foreign Land
Some documentaries speak of women in order to speak of suffering; others speak of women in order to show how they become themselves again. In Her Own Land belongs to the latter. It does not simplify women’s experience into a single label, nor does it write “her” life as a fixed answer. It gives the camera to women of different ages, profe.
