Searching for the Perfect Gentleman - An Investigative Journey

寻找完美的男人

2019
Asian Premiere 亚洲首映

This is a documentary about the search of an African barber shop poster. The virtual journey takes the viewer to various African, European and Asian countries, in order to find the place where it was originally created, produced and sold. What seems easy in the beginning turns out to be a demanding process, yet an interesting experience in accessing information, communicating with people from totally different backgrounds and indulging in uncertainty, to celebrate the search itself — wherever it may lead. The film shows how boundaries between originality and reproduction merge, in a world where everything can be remixed and reprinted easily, and tells a multi-layered story about trust, persistence and interconnectedness in a globalized world.

这部纪录片讲述了寻找一家非洲理发店海报的故事。导演带领观众踏上一场穿越数个非洲、欧洲和亚洲国家的虚拟旅行,意图发现这幅海报最初被构想、制作与贩卖的地点。最初看似轻松的一切逐渐变得举步维艰,同时也成为了获取与使用信息,与背景迥异的人进行交流,并沉迷于不确定性的有趣过程——值得赞颂的是探寻之旅本身,无论它通向何方。影片呈现了原创性与再创作是如何在一个万物皆可轻易合成与翻版的世界中彼此交融的,讲述了全球化浪潮里一个关于信任、执着与互联性的多层次故事。
