The Walbrzych Notebook
瓦烏布日赫筆記
Poland, Germany | 2009 | 9mins
瓦烏布日赫是波蘭西南部人口最多的城市，自1935年開始發展煤礦產業。90年代時，這座城市的礦區因為社會與經濟的變動而崩潰，當地的居民因此經歷了隨之而來的解雇潮及從中產生的社會危機感。在今日瓦市有了復甦跡象的同時，本片敘述遷移進這座城市空間的人們面對現實處境的景況。偏離實際發生的歷史細節與經濟剖析，本片描繪了一幅人類學的風景，以視覺與聽覺交錯著自然的聲響、談話、及樂音，呈現出時空的氛圍。
A former mining site since 1535, Walbrzych is the most populated city in south-western Poland. During the 1990s, the town’s coal mines were shut down due to societal and economic changes. As a result, the people of Walbrzych experienced a social crisis from the accompanying dismissal of hundreds of workers. While the city today show signs of renewal, this film illustrates the people moving within the city’s spaces confronting their reality. Digressing from historical and economic analysis on the details that took place, the film paints an anthropological portrait; a representation of a place and time filtered through visuals and musical scores of natural sounds, speeches and instrumental music.
