西方先锋派电影与中国文武之道

中国传统长卷绘画在结构、风格、虚实、透视与时空观念方面具有不同于西方画板绘画的特点,直接影响了西方先锋派电影的先驱艾格林的《斜线交响曲》与里希特的《韵律21》和《韵律23》等作品,他们由此首创了抽象动画电影这一先锋派电影的亚类型,在电影艺术上做出了独创性贡献。玛雅·黛润被誉为美国地下电影之母,她的影片《对暴力的反思》直接取材于中国武当与少林武术。中国武术除了实用性以外,还有审美性、仪式性与伦理性、以及“道”的精神。影片运用多种技法,将对于中国武术的表现转变成为充满电影艺术探索的作品。这些西方先锋派电影与中国文化之间进行的直接对话,对于我们继承与发展民族文化遗产同样具有启示意义。

Western Avant-garde Films and the Chinese Pen and Sword Arts

Viking Eggeling and Hans Richter are the pioneers of the first wave of Avant-garde films. Their works, such as Symphonie Diagonale, Rhythmus 21 and Rhythmus 23, are influenced by the traditional scroll paintings in China. Maya Deren is reputed as the mother of American underground films. Meditation on Violence,one of her films, draws its material from the Chinese Wudang and Shaolin martial arts. The communications between avant-garde films and the Chinese pen and sword arts show the significance of the Chinese traditional culture.
