导演阐述 Director’s Statement

《夜的博物馆》融合了档案、照片以及胶片和数码格式的影片。我对过去,以及那些见证逝去的时间和空间的人有着特别的兴趣,比如在这部影片中我讲述的六十年代末的纽约酷儿景象。《夜的博物馆》首先是一个复杂的研究项目:我坚信把历史碎片组合起来所能展现的力量,以耐心的考古学方式处理这些材料和档案,编织出一份不仅属于莱安德罗·卡茨,也属于更广泛的艺术家群体的证言。就个人层面而言,对于我们这些受过电影科班训练的人而言,1960年代的美国实验电影(乔纳斯·梅卡斯、杰克·史密斯、安迪·沃霍尔、肯·雅各布斯等人作品)——那些六七十年代离经叛道、打破常规的影像创作,既是我们突破学院派桎梏的平行课堂,更让我们领悟到:视听创作本身就是一种生命姿态。 

Museum of the Night combines archives, photographs, and films in both celluloid and video formats. I have a special attraction to the past and to people who act as the last witnesses of a disappearing era or of worlds that no longer exist, like that queer scene of late-sixties New York, which I narrate in this film. I strongly believe in the power of bringing together fragments of history, working in an archaeological and patient way with these materials and archives, and weaving together a testimony that is not only that of Leandro Katz, but of a larger group of artists. That’s why Museum of the Night is, above all, a complex research project. On a personal level, for those of us who trained in cinema, the American experimentation of the 1960s (Jonas Mekas, Jack Smith, Andy Warhol, Ken Jacobs), the excessive and irreverent cinema of the 60s and 70s, served as a parallel school for ways of filming outside of academic norms and as a way to understand audiovisual work as a way of life.
