跨越二零二零 · 个人叙事


CALL FOR VIDEO SUBMISSION 征集影像作品

Personal Narrative

2020, a leap year, has one more day than normal years. 

In 2020, people have experienced a more challenging time. Many of them have undergone unexpected changes in their lives. 

With the end of the year approaching, we are wondering what you will do on the last day of the year 2020. What will your acquaintance do? And persons unknown to you, what will they do? What is the association between this day and the previous 365 days? 

New Year’s eve is celebrated on December 31st across the globe. Whether people are willing to reflect or not, the COVID-19 pandemic will definitely be marked in their collective memories. But, everyone has to independently perceive and go through all that has happened. We look forward to hearing from you, in your unique voice, tell us your story about the last day of 2020? We invite you to record a short video and participate in the project of visual storytelling. 

个人叙事

2020是闰年,比大多数年份多出一天。

2020人们经历了比往常更加曲折的一年,无数人的生命在这一年里发生了意想不到的转变。

岁末将至,在2020的最后一天里,你在做什么?你最熟悉的人在做什么?周围的陌生人又在做什么?这一天,与你过往的365天有着怎样的联系?

当这一天过去,人们将跨越2020,无论情愿与否,新冠疫情都将被刻在大家共同的集体记忆中。而每个个体又都是独自面对、经历与感知这一切的。作为个体,你在2020的最后一天有着什么样的故事?我们想邀请你用影像来讲述它。

或许所有个体的故事汇集在一起,人们才得以重新认识这复杂而特殊的一年。
