去年的这个时候,STUDIO4℃工作室的“天才嘉年华”系列的第一部《Genius Party》上映,包含了福岛敦子、河森正治、木村真二、福山庸治、二村秀树、汤浅政明、渡边信一郎这7位监督的7部短片,这7位导演用自己的或天才或鬼才烹制了一桌华丽的动画盛宴,虽然在表现形式和内容上都更接近艺术动画和实验动画,但对于喜爱“内涵性动画”的动画fans来说,本作是不可不看的精品。
今年,包括前田真宏(GALA)、中泽一登(MOONDRIVE)、大平晋也(WANWA)、田中达之(陶人基德)、森本晃司(次元炸弹)等5名新锐影像作家的第二作《Genius Party Beyond》即将于10月11日上映,如果说第一系列是河森正治、汤浅政明、渡边信一郎等名监督的舞台,这第二次的舞台则交给了新人们,我们也期待他们的精彩演绎。

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
