作品介绍(Work introduction)
闪玩是一种通过诸如陌陌和QQ这样的网上社交软件使互不相识的陌生人聚到一起的文化现象,而大连这座美丽的城市为闪玩这种在年轻人中日益发展的文化现象提供了巨大的可能性。闪玩能够让这些参与者从开始的新鲜和尴尬迅速发展成为潜在的长期友谊,而这些年轻人之前却不可能有过任何交集。闪玩这种中国独有的文化现象能够让年轻人更多的表达自己、展现自己,而这些在其他朋友间可能是无法实现的。通过这种“没有附加条件”的交友方式,人们可以在这一天中充分展现个性或是成为自己想象中虚幻的化身。
大连这座城市,有着庞大的购物商场、歌厅和令人叹为观止并有着中国文化特色的观光景点,这些都为闪玩提供了理想的背景。这部短片跟随四个互不相识的年轻人,记录了他们的相识和一天的闪玩活动,并见证了大连这座城市浓郁的文化气息。
he beautiful city of Dalian plays host to a rising youth cultural event named Lightning Play or Shan Wan, an event in which groups of strangers arrange to gather together through online social networking applications such as Mo Mo and QQ. Shan Wan allows for a certain fresh awkwardness between the participants to flourish into potential longterm friendships where these young adults might not usually cross paths. The cultural event, unique to China, allows for young people to express themselves more openly where typical friendship groups may not. With a ‘no stringsattached’ like operation, people can create their own identities for the day or lead the life of an imaginary avatar.
The city of Dalian, with its huge shopping malls, karaoke bars, and stunning sight seeing locations immersed in Chinese culture, provides the ideal backdrop for Lightning Play. This short documentary follows four strangers as they meet to partake in a day of Shan Wan and explore the rich culture of the city of Dalian.
