贾樟柯 / Jia Zhangke

Jia Zhangke is the director interviewed across the two-part Talk三联 source EP276 对话贾樟柯(上):一个时代走远,一定是因为另一个时代在靠近你 and EP277 对话贾樟柯(下):我没有背叛真实世界,我只是在寻找电影的新可能. EP276 adds his account of older films being rediscovered through short-video remix, where 《山河故人》, 《江湖儿女》, and 《天注定》 become evidence for Ordinary Life Poetics / 日常生活诗意, Film Clip Remix Afterlife / 电影片段二创再流通, and Mobility Farewell Generation / 流动生活中的离别经验.

EP276 also adds Era Transition Proximity / 时代远走与新文明靠近. Jia says an era never simply goes away; it recedes because another era is approaching. In that source, 《风流一代》, globalization’s perceived ending, new community forms, platform segmentation, and AI make era change felt as proximity rather than pure nostalgia.

EP277 then develops his AI-cinema argument as Film Reality Beyond Realism. Jia treats AI as a possible transformation of film production methods, not only a new carrier like digital video. He imagines a future where AI cinema may develop its own world and aesthetics, but he also keeps his own creative boundary clear: his primary interest remains live-action film grounded in locations, real people, camera presence, and captured feeling.
