舞影随行
在破碎家庭中长大、拥有极高舞蹈天分的年轻人奇普(瑞恩‧史提尔 Ryan Steele 饰),刚满18岁便独自奔赴纽约,在SOHO区一家舞团学习跳舞,追逐自己现代舞的梦想。身无分文的他每晚只能偷偷留宿舞池,直到某天清晨被女舞伴凯蒂(凯瑟琳‧米勒 Catherine Mi ller 饰)发现。凯蒂像大姐姐一样收留了奇普,然而奇普并没有过几天平静的生活。日夜陪伴练舞的英俊舞者西奥(里德‧路普劳 Reed Luplau 饰)不知不觉搅乱了他的心。害怕、抗拒、犹疑,同性异性之间对于爱情的吸引、性爱的欢愉、人生的徘徊,就在五支舞的翩然转折之间,传达出人与人渴望倾诉的温情。   《舞影随行》是一部关于舞蹈的电影,舞者肢体的伸张旋转背后是现实生活的各种困顿。通过抽象的现代舞蹈,让舞者获得超脱的勇气,让残缺的人生获得艺术的完整,这正是导演艾伦‧布朗创作的初衷。片中的同性感情,两位主角的进退、试探和亲密,调度恰如舞蹈般有着最微妙的文本对应。负责为《舞影随行》编舞的是美国复兴现代舞大师乔纳‧伯克,主角瑞恩‧史提尔和里德‧路普劳都是跨界演出的专业舞者,他们驾驭着线条匀称的身体,将现代舞的轻盈唯美展示得淋漓尽致。《舞影随行》获2013年特拉维夫同志电影节和里约热内卢同志电影节最佳剧情片奖。第4届豆瓣电影鑫像奖鑫豆单元 最佳同性(LGBT)电影(提名)

A story of faith and disbelief. Of uprootedness and affiliation. What makes a boy from art school decide to leave home and live as a girl on the streets of Berlin selling her body for money? For more than ten years, photographer and filmmaker J. Jackie Baier followed transsexual Julia K. from her birthplace, Klaipeda in Lithuania, to her tough life on the streets as a hooker, outlaw and nonconformist who never signed any social contract.   "Julia is missing again. Yesterday I visited her in the porn cinema, in where she has crashed for the last six months. We sat in the common room of the hookers, which doubled as Julia´s bedroom; a smoky, dingy basement without any daylight, roughly the size of a prison cell, with a couch, a counter, a coffee machine and a TV, out of which some cheap television series blared at full volume. This room was what her life was limited to. She only left it when Mamsell called her for a client. I´d seen her for the very first time while she still worked at a bar in Wilmersdorf. For some time we both worked there, tempting clients with booze, offers of sex, whatever would bring in money. I soon left the business, though. The madam was simply not convinced that I was a good hooker and actually she was right - even though I learned a lot by watching Julia. Julia was soon to be out as well. She didn´t really get along in that joint. The madam had some kind of style, while Julia just had her style. It just couldn´t work. Afterwards they said that Julia was always drunk, but that can´t have been the reason, since if she had always been drunk, it probably would have worked out with the boss, who was chronically drunk herself, after all. About a year later I met Julia again. I was riding on a bus to Schöneberg, and she was at the corner of Froben-and Bülow - hustling at the strip. We drank a couple of beers at Bianca´s kiosk and she asked at some point if I wouldn´t mind taking some pictures of her again. I didn´t have my proper camera on me, just my mobile. I took some shots and once I left, promised to return. When I went back two nights later, this time with my camera, Julia had vanished. At the kiosk they said that she was dead, probably frozen to death somewhere. But then she reappeared." [J. Jackie Baier, 2006]   J. Jackie Baier (b. 1955 in Kiel, Germany) received an MA in Literature at the University of Essen in 1982.
