人们都说，母亲是孩子生命中不可或缺的一部分，她们赋予了孩子们生命，也在孩子的成长给他们以无微不至的爱与关怀,而父亲，往往是以一个严厉的形象存在，往往是孩子幼年时期的偶像。那么，在生物学意义上，父亲这个角色会对孩子的成长起到什么作用呢？他们仅仅是母亲的替补？还是有其真正意义的所在？鉴于父亲节即将到来，让我们一起来认识一下，父亲对于孩子们成长的重大意义吧~！

百集系列片《中国古镇》打破地域界限，以主题化的编排方式将各种古镇归类：有的古镇因商贸发达而繁盛一时，如云南大理历史上曾沿着茶马古道形成了沙溪、喜洲、玉湖等商业重镇；有的古镇抗击过外来侵略、经历重大战役，如北京古北口、山西大同新平堡等军事重镇；有的古镇由于独特人文地理环境孕育出别样的物产和民情风俗，如水乡镇远传承千年的“龙舟戏”，丝织业的发达造就的苏绣之乡镇湖；有的古镇以富有地方特色的美食而名闻天下，如四川乐山苏稽镇的“翘脚牛肉”、广东中山黄圃镇的广式腊味；有的古镇则以红色记忆而载入史册，如曾经在中国革命史上产生过深远影响的福建上杭古田镇等……一座座古镇构成了中华文化的不同侧面，荟萃成一部丰富多彩的人文百科全书。

The films of Ulrike Ottinger (b. 1942) are shaped by a fascination with place, a topical and topographical curiosity that drives their wanderlust across locales both imagined and real, from the fantastically spectral Berlin of the early Freak Orlando and the nostalgia shrouded Viennese amusement park of Prater, to the vast, remote steppes of Central Asia explored in Taiga and the busy banquet halls of present-day Seoul in The Korean Wedding Chest. Ottinger’s fiction films kaleidoscope a carnivalesque vision of the world, staging unpredictable encounters with a remarkably motley cast of “freak” outsiders – lovers, pirates, brigands, grafters and their adversaries. While Ottinger’s documentaries, in contrast, focus insightfully on the quotidian reality of everyday people, but are no less colorful and exuberant in their spirited exploration of the playful and poetic intersection of the traditional and contemporary. 　　Born in Konstanz, Germany, Ottinger spent much of the 1960s working as a painter in Paris – where she also studied with the likes of Claude Lévi-Strauss and Louis Althusser – before launching her film career in Berlin in the early 1970s. Ottinger’s earliest films grow out of her close association with various Berlin subcultures and art scenes and involved collaborations with such luminary figures as Tabea Blumenschein, as well as Irm Hermann, Kurt Raab and Magdalena Montezuma, actors central to the Fassbinder scene. International recognition and reknown followed her first feature film Madame X (1977), which especially drew the interest of queer and feminist critics and scholars in the U.S. To this day Ottinger’s films are held up for their radicalness, not only of narrative but also of their treatment of sexuality and of gender itself. A Renaissance woman, Ottinger writes her own scripts, frequently operates the camera and even designs the often elaborate sets and costumes showcased in her films. 　　The fall of the Berlin Wall and a massive funding crisis for “art cinema” coincided at the beginning of the 1990s to inspire a distinct shift in Ottinger’s cinema away from the theatrical extravagances of her early film work to a mode of carefully observed documentary. Yet uniting and cross-pollinating Ottinger’s documentary and fiction work are a set of running themes – a concern for the normative function of power and its ability to repress and ostracize difference; a nostalgia for the cosmopolitism of pre-war Central Europe; and a delight in the richness and beauty of “other cultures,” be they popular, archaic or simply non-Western. 　　Taiga 　　Directed by Ulrike Ottinger. 　　Germany 1992, 16mm, color, 501 min. Mongolian and Tuvinian with English subtitles 　　Ottinger returned to Mongolia to craft her incredible epic documentary portrait of reindeer herders on the far Northern steppes. While offering rare glimpses into the shamanic ceremonies, hunts, weddings and amusements that color the herders’ lives, Taiga uses its nine hours to resist any notion of the nomads as simply “exotic” by creating a fully immersive encounter with the Mongolians daily routines and rituals. Bearing mesmerizing witness to a world seemingly out of time, Taiga is ultimately a study in contrasts: between the vast steppes and the intimacy of the nomads’ private spaces, between the mobility of the nomadic life and the fixity of Ottinger’s camera, between pre-modern practices and their contemporary variations.
