　　今年北欧纪录片电影节迎来了第五个周年。我们想借此机会，通过放映十七部绝对北欧视角的纪录片，来和大家一起解读当今世界多样化的社会和政治语境。本届电影节是北欧五国之间以及世界各国之间的一场跨文化交流，针对一些国际问题的探讨，视角从北欧变换到缅甸、美国、尼加拉瓜，再到意大利、俄罗斯和德国，最终又回到芬兰市中心居民的起居室里，回到挪威农场，回到丹麦首都，回到瑞典乌普萨拉的省长办公厅。
　　
　　今年的电影节主题是媒体现象和电视政治。主推的纪录片探讨了媒体现象以及媒体与政治的关系，展示出今天大众媒体的影响力以及权力和媒体如何相互作为来达到最终目的，无论采用的方式是军事镇压，法律诉讼还是去迎合平民的口味。
　　
　　NORDOX聚焦
　　
　　《电视政治》中国首映
　　
　　三十余年来，意大利的电视媒体都被一个人所控制，这就是乐乐莫拉 -
　　电视巨头以及总统贝卢斯科尼的密友。他以前所未有的方式影响着意大利大众电视的内容，他的电视频道和那些着装裸露的年轻女子，被许多人认为反映了他自己的品味和人格。在《电视政治》，意大利出生的导演Erik Gandini 展现了这个在意大利进行了三十年的电视试验的结果。因为能接触到新闻界的最高层，他将 “电视王国”意大利的现实公诸于众。导演：Erik Gandini（瑞典）
　　
　　《缅甸起义：看不到的真相》
　　
　　《缅甸起义》透过一个独立记者团体 -
　　缅甸民主之声的镜头，在缅甸境内拍摄了2007年的街头动乱。虽然有十万人（包括一千名和尚）上街示威，缅甸军政府却禁止外国新闻人员报道并封锁了网络。而三十位匿名的”缅甸民主之声“的地下摄影记者冒着严刑和终身监禁的风险，用数码摄像机记录下了那个充满戏剧性的历史事件。之后，他们又将镜头资料偷运出国，使其得以在全世界的公共媒体上传播。导演：Anders Østergaard（丹麦）
　　
　　《香蕉！*》中国首映
　　
　　《香蕉！*》讲述了一位洛杉矶的人身伤害律师多名格斯，代表十二名因接触违禁杀虫剂而导致不育的尼加拉瓜香蕉园工人打官司的经过。而被告则是世界上最具权势的国际食品巨头“都乐食品”。从尼加拉瓜的检查现场和选择被告，到洛杉矶法庭“都乐食品”主席出庭作证和他的法律天才的诡辩，导演Fredrik Gertten的纪录片让我们目睹了这场改变历史的官司。而最终结果，是导演本人和制片也变成了被告，因为他们都面临着都乐食品的起诉。而这部纪录片也是 “都乐食品”千方百计不愿意让我们看到的。导演：Fredrik Gertten（瑞典）
　　
　　特别关注
　　
　　《堕胎女》
　　
　　《堕胎女》发生在俄罗斯当今社会，讲述了人们面对道德和经济考验如何抉择的故事。三个女孩，都是到了怀孕晚期，做出了人生中一个重要选择，决定找一个医生，堕胎。她们是谁？究竟发生了什么？影片中镜头跟随这些人物，拍摄了近三年时间。我们看到了俄罗斯年轻一代的生活状况，她们梦想着光鲜亮丽的西方生活，却被迫要拼命赚钱来换取短暂的幸福。没有人再有时间要孩子了。她们干着一份勉强糊口的工作，想要争取不错的收入非常难，要孩子已成为一种负担。
　　导演：David Kinsella（挪威）
　　
　　导演见面和座谈会
　　
　　什么是纪录片？为什么传媒业对政治这么重要？为什么媒体充斥着这么多的利益纠纷，诉讼，威胁利诱？什么是媒体的公信力？什么是媒体的力量？我们将在今年的导演问答和座谈会上讨论这个现象，我们可以进一步作为媒体的力量了解的深入讨论，论坛的手段，和往年一样，观众今年也有机会参加导演问答。 NORDOX有幸请到了受奥斯卡提名的获奖丹麦导演Anders Østergaard (缅甸起义)和瑞典获奖导演Fredrik Gertten (香蕉!*)及挪威导演David Kinsella (堕胎女)。了解最新消息请关注我们的网站。

　　PRESS RELEASE
　　
　　NORDOX Nordic Documentary Film Festival Beijing
　　Date: 13. – 25. November 2010
　　Venue: UCCA Ullens Center for Contemporary Art
　　Screening times: daily 16:00 and 19:00 (please see www.nordox.cn for a complete schedule)
　　Festival opening: 16:00, November 13th, 2010
　　Tickets: All screenings are free with a UCCA entrance ticket. It is not possible to book in advance.
　　
　　NORDOX Nordic Documentary Film Festival Beijing celebrates its fifth anniversary with a selection of 17 films that closely reflect the current Nordic documentary climate, sharing unique perspectives on issues meandering through and between a variety of social spheres and political contexts. The 2010 range of films are borne from cross-Nordic, international and cross-cultural collaboration exploring international themes that take us from the Nordic countries through to Burma, The United States, Nicaragua, Italy, Russia, Germany and back, right into the heart of the Finnish living room, to a Norwegian farm, to the Danish capital and into the Governor of Uppsala, Sweden’s office.
　　
　　A major aim of NORDOX is to share with Beijing the increasing popularity of documentary film and to create a bridge between the local documentary tradition and what is currently being produced and screened internationally. On the other hand, it’s not only about screening films, but creating a platform where stories can be shared, creating a space for sometimes perhaps “inconvenient films” – films that startle, shock, uncover, make you think – films, that come from a necessity, an urgency, and that in the end, aim to make a difference.
　　
　　2010’s festival focus is the phenomenon of media power and television politics. The focus documentaries explore the relation between media, power and politics, showing how great a power factor today’s mass media is and how the struggle to control the media is a struggle for power – no matter whether the weapon used is military suppression, legal lawsuits or populism.
　　
　　SPOTLIGHT FILMS
　　
　　Videocracy [CHINA PREMIERE]
　　
　　In Italy, for thirty odd years, the image has been controlled by one man. TV-magnate and President Silvio Berlusconi has influenced the content of commercial television in a way never before done in Italy. His TV-channels, with their young skimpy-clad girls, are seen by many to mirror his own taste and personality. In Videocracy, Italian-born director Erik Gandini portrays the consequences of a TV-experiment that Italians have been subjected to for 30 years. Gaining unique access to the most powerful media spheres, he unveils a remarkable story, born out of the scary reality of ”TV-Republic” Italy. Director: Erik Gandini (SE)
　　
　　Burma VJ – Reporting from a Closed Country [Director Attending]
　　
　　Burma VJ shows a rare inside look into the 2007 uprising in Myanmar through the cameras of the independent journalist group, Democratic Voice of Burma. While 100,000 people (including 1,000s of Buddhist monks) took to the streets to protest the country’s regime, foreign news crews were banned and the Internet was shut down. The Democratic Voice of Burma, a collective of 30 anonymous and underground video journalists (VJs) recorded these historic and dramatic events on handycams and smuggled the footage out of the country, where it was broadcast worldwide via satellite. Risking torture and life imprisonment, the VJs document the brutal clashes with the military and undercover police. Director: Anders Østergaard (DK)
　　
　　BANANAS!* [CHINA PREMIERE] [Director Attending]
　　
　　BANANAS!* depicts how Juan Dominguez, a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer, launches a lawsuit in the U.S. on behalf of 12 Nicaraguan banana plantation workers made sterile by exposure to a long-banned pesticide. The defendant is Dole Food, one of the world’s most powerful companies. Director Fredrik Gertten takes us from Nicaragua, where Dominguez examines the scene and selects his plaintiffs, to the L.A. courtroom where Dole president David Delorenzo takes the stand and his high-profile legal talent pokes holes in Dominguez’s case. In the aftermath of the film the director and producers of this film ended up being defendants themselves – facing a lawsuit by Dole Food. This is the film Dole Food doesn’t want you to see! Director: Fredrik Gertten (SE)
　　
　　SPECIAL FOCUS FILM
　　
　　Killing Girls [Director Attending]
　　“Killing Girls” is a story about moral and economic choices in today’s Russian society. It is the story of three girls that at one point in their life decided to end a pregnancy at a late term. It is the story of the doctor who performs these late term abortions. Who are these people? What is their story? In the film we follow these characters closely for three years. Through them we learn about the living conditions for the younger generation in Russia, those that dream of a glamorous western lifestyle, but are condemned to live hunting for money to buy a moment of happiness. Nobody has time to have children any longer. Fighting to find an income in a society with badly paid work, children have become a problem. Director: David Kinsella (NO)
　　
　　Q&A SESSIONS AND SEMINAR
　　
　　What is the medium of documentary? Why is the media industry so important for politics? Why the media as an industry clouded by profits, lawsuits, threats, intimidation and bribery? What is a credible source of information and what, in essence, is the power of the media? We aim to discuss these questions by means of an in-depth discussion forum as well as director Q&As.
　　
　　2010 visiting directors include Oscar-nominee Anders Østergaard (Burma VJ), award-winning director Fredrik Gertten (Bananas!*) and David Kinsella (Killing Girls), who have been invited to share their views with the Beijing audience.
