DIRECTOR: Joris Ivens, the Dutch documentarian. From Russia, Spain and China to Cuba and Vietnam, he made dozens of legendary films. He was a “flying Dutchman”, not only because of the exile of his motherland but also of his track around the world. Almost all of great events that happened in 20th century were recorded by Ivens’ cinema, which had become epics of image, including which happened in China. The friendship between Ivens and people of China was memorable. There were many images of the history of China had been kept by Ivens. Magnum opus: The Rain The Bridge Song of Heros The 400 Million,Before Spring , How YUKONG Moved The Mountains, A Tale of the Wind.
FILM: Joris Ivens's last film, made with Marceline Loridan, is a testament to Ivens's own life and the changes that have occurred in the world during that time. After The Mistral (1965) this work is his second attempt to film the invisible, the wind. On location in China they try to capture the wind as a natural phenomenon, and as metaphor for the constant changes in culture and society.

时长：78min
导演：伊文思
导演介绍：他，一位被上帝永久放逐的"飞翔的荷兰人"，被自己的祖国宣布为叛徒，被美国联邦调查局列上黑名单的纪录电影大师--尤里斯·伊文思。从13岁就开始拍摄电影，有"先锋电影诗人"之美誉。直到90岁完成令人震惊的封镜之作《风的故事》。世界哪里燃烧，他就把摄影机投到哪里去，并始终把镜头对准普通的人。20世纪的世界风云变幻几乎都在他的摄影机镜头里定格，化为影像史诗。伊文思这位叛逆的荷兰人对中国有着言之不尽的钟情与厚爱。抗日战争，大跃进，文化大革命，改革开放，中国半个多世纪的风云，伊文思都用他的摄影机为中国留下历史的记忆之镜，而把中国和伊文思紧紧连接在一起的人物是周恩来。代表作：《雨》、《桥》、《英雄之歌》、《四万万人民》、《早春》、《愚公移山》、《风的故事》。
影片介绍：这是伊文思的最后一部作品，与妻子罗立丹合作完成，记录了伊文思自己生命的遗嘱也记录了当时世界发生的变化。这是自《米斯特拉尔》之后，他第二次尝试表现无形的风。拍摄在中国进行时，他们尝试捕捉风做为一种自然现象的影像，同时以此比喻变化莫测的文化和社会环境。1988年影片在威尼斯电影节上首次放映，而伊文思也在此获得用以奖励他全部作品的金狮奖。
