另一半

在律师事务所做书记员的小芬，整天用她的笔记录着这座西南地区发展中城市里各色女子所遭遇的一切。而小芬自己的生活也很没有安全感：同居的男友忽然失踪了，可能是卷入了一场凶杀案；她的妈妈、她的女性朋友也一样过着没有依托的日子。

这部片子由两个交替出现的部分组成：一部分是小芬在律师事务所里对各色女子口述的记录，另一部分是对小芬及其身边女子遭遇的叙述。

采用这样的一个结构，是想让这部电影成为一份中国内陆城市（农村）女性生存状态的简报。


Xiaofen works a clerk at a law firm located in a developing city in Southwestern China. Her job is to meet different female clients of the firm and document each case. However, just like the female clients involved in those lawsuits, Xiaofen is also in trouble. She feels anxious and unsafe. Her boyfriend, who was living with her, goes missing, possibly because he was a murderer. And her mother and her women friends lead unsettled lives.

This movie consists of two alternating parts. One part comprises the actual, true stories told by the female clients whom Xiaofen meets in her job. The other part is the narrative about Xiaofen herself and her female friends. The intention of the film’s structure is to present a contemporary report on the status of women living in an inland city in China.

《另一半》是一部源于希望和失望的电影。
影片里的那场灾难并没有真的发生在这座城市里，可这样的灾难却遍布全球，它是可能的生活，是明天的写照，是普通人生存危机与心灵危机的象征。
我想，我是有些责任和义务去关心和表现在这个男性社会当中的女人们的。尤其在中国的内陆城市，这些女子的生活状态很少为外人所知晓，实际上她们有着全天下女人共同的处境和危机以及愿望。
这部影片将会尽量将视线集中在中国西部发展中城市的各个阶层、各个年龄段的女人们身上。我希望采用极简主义的电影语言，用有力、直白、干脆的方式进行叙述和表达。

THE OTHER HALF is a film that comes from both despair and hope.

The ill-fated incident that it relates did not actually occur in the city in which the story is set, but it is a problem that is found worldwide. My film attempts to show a portrait of the future, and symbolizes the existential and spiritual crisis which ordinary people experience.
