THE VIEWING BOOTH explores a space ostensibly off-limits to cinema — the internal experience of the viewer. In a lab-like space, Maia Levy, a young American woman, watches videos portraying life in the West Bank city of Hebron, while verbalizing her thoughts and feelings in real time. An enthusiastic supporter of Israel, the images in the videos, disseminated for the most part by the Human Rights organization B’Tselem, contradict some of Maia’s deep-seated beliefs. Empathy; anger; embarrassment; innate biases and healthy curiosity — all play out before our eyes as we watch her watch the images created by the Occupation. As Maia navigates and negotiates the images, which threaten her worldview, she also reflects on the way she sees them. Her candid and immediate reactions form a one-of-a-kind cinematic testimony to the psychology of the viewer in the digital era.

The warning labels found on some new microwave ovens may have comedic value (where but in America would users be warned not to put their pet in the device?) but we rarely notice the disclaimers preceding films. In fact, they are even more absurd: one very common one is “This is a work of fiction.” But producers, distributors and cinema owners protect themselves from accusations of offense caused by all sorts of other potential issues, like people of the same sex kissing, special effects, drug use, violence, unsafe behavior, and even cinematic experimentation. 　　The fear of having to pay the price for being misunderstood can be traced back to the very beginnings of film—as proven by these disclaimers from the 1874–2022 period. While the tone of this litany of warnings may be deeply ironic, the feeling gradually creeps up on you that this legal straitjacket could fatally constrict the unique ability of film to imagine the unknown, and to suspend disbelief. 　　源自：https://festival.idfa.nl/en/film/2da17be7-7721-4e2c-bbef-41db06887d96/the-film-you-are-about-to-see/

他和她在派对里相遇，相爱，同居，互相讲述童年的回忆、共同的回忆和其他爱的回忆；忧郁男子随处都能看见过往的悲伤，乐观女子则对眼前生活充满热情。俩人的恋情色彩随快乐与否，在一起或分开不断变化，但关系却不照顺序进行，而是依附在不断闪回的记忆场景，借着相异的个性与情绪制造出二种版本的爱情故事。他们的记忆如诗一般流动，情感混合光明与黑暗，并驶于故事轨道上。 　　瓦莱里奥・米艾里 ，1978 年生于罗马，是法国、义大利作家、导演兼编剧。他在罗马取得哲学硕士学位，亦获得义大利电影实验中心的导演文凭，同时是欧洲电影学院的成员。2009年首部长片《Dieci inverni》获得义大利银缎带奖，并出版同名小说。

中国文字博大精深，“虚”字既做枉费也做心怯之意，而本片立意选择了后者，一位虚浮的女生捡到一部手机，由于贪念的驱使，在与失主讨价还价之后招来反噬，拾金不昧是传统美德，希望大家无论何时都能做到不虚此刻。
