雨貝.梭裴(1966-)出生於奧地利,曾旅居英國、義大利、美國、坦尚尼亞、剛果等國,1990年代中期定居巴黎,常獲邀出席全世界的研討會,也在許多大學和國際影展開設大師班授課,並贏得超過50個國際獎項的肯定。

作品包含家庭、殖民、全球化、政治等議題,看似嚴肅但獨具詩意。強調使用小攝影機的他,以獨特的「漫遊」方式不斷移動,深入那些難以進入觸及之處,隨機交談探訪,記錄親身見聞,以近距離的目擊和鳥瞰視角,拼貼出一幅具強烈作者觀點的全景圖。其中,耗費超過20年所完成的「非洲三部曲」,揭露黑暗大陸的不堪,成為深刻探討當代困境的經典之作。

「自從我去非洲旅行多次後,我更加了明白我身為一個歐洲人的事實。透過電影我試著描述的,是這兩塊大陸之間緊密的協同關係、幾千年來的激烈辯證。我想描寫正在相互摩擦碰撞的不同世界。……這種拍攝電影方式的本質不只是檔案紀錄,也探索著你的感知感受所及。通常,這比顯而易見的真相,涵蓋了更多的真實。」雨貝梭裴

On the Road with Emil

This film follows circus director and ringmaster Emil and his little circus from one village to the next, through the Austrian winter landscape. It reveals the endless routine of circus life and the personal lives of the circus director and his family. We meet his jovial partner and their ten circus children, who joke about their lives and indiscretions.

Kisangani Diary

After the massacre perpetrated on the Tutsis in 1994, tens of thousands of Hutus fled to Zaire, and many of them never returned. These ‘forgotten’ refugees were living in poverty thousands of miles from home, plagued by famine, disease and attacks by various armed militias. This film leads us to the ‘heart of darkness’, the same place where Joseph CONRAD wrote his novel a century ago.

Alone with Our Stories

The most destructive violence is that perpetrated by the one you love. In France, one in seven women suffers from violence at the hands of their partners. In this sensitive film and intimate portrait, Arielle, Christine and Michèle tell what they have not said to their nearest and dearest, to help us see what is not visible. They offer us vitality, courage and hope.

Darwin's Nightmare

In the 1960s, in the heart of Africa, the Nile Perch was introduced into Lake Victoria as a scientific experiment and eventually extinguished almost all the native fish species. It multiplied so fast that its white fillets are exported globally. Ex-Soviet cargo planes come daily to collect the latest catch in exchange for weapons and ammunition for the uncounted wars on the continent.

We Come as Friends

When Sudan, Africa's biggest country, is being divided into two nations, an old ‘civilising’ pathology re-emerges - that of colonialism, clash of empires, and yet new episodes of bloody (and holy) wars over land and resources. The director takes us on a dizzying, science fiction-like journey in his tiny, self-made flying machine out of tin and canvas.

Director in Focus: Hubert SAUPER

Hubert SAUPER (1966-) was born in Austria. He has lived in Britain, Italy, the U.S., Tanzania and DR Congo and settled in Paris, France in the mid-1990s. SAUPER was often invited to attend forums around the world and to teach master classes at various universities and film festivals. He is also a winner of more than fifty international awards.

His films tackle serious topics such as family, colonisation, globalisation and politics, but are unique in their poetic lyricism. Often using small video cameras, SAUPER wanders back and forth into the lands beyond our reach, conducting spontaneous interviews and documenting what he sees and hears from a close distance and a bird’s-eye view, putting together a panoramic picture with a strong auteur vision. Among his works, the African trilogy, which he spent over twenty years making, reveals the troubles of the ‘Dark Continent’ and has been regarded a masterpiece that delves deep into its contemporary plight.

‘I understand much more about myself being European since I've been travelling a lot in Africa. Both continents have such a tight co-relationship, thousands of years of pathological dialectic, which is basically what I'm trying to describe. I'd like to describe worlds which are on the friction lines where worlds collide. [...] The essence of this kind of filmmaking is not only to document but also to explore what you feel as much as you can. Often, this contains more truth than what is the obvious truth.’ -Hubert SAUPER
