911事件簿

2001年9月11日，震惊世界且影响深远的“9·11事件”爆发。双子塔岿然垮塌，似乎预示着一个黑暗时代的到来。在此之后，法国Studio Canal电影公司迅速做出反应，邀请了11名享誉海内外的导演和演员分别执导了每部时长为11分钟09秒01帧的短片，最终汇集成这部思想独特、尖锐深刻的短片集。在他们的镜头中，有的饱受战争、饥馑、灾害的人们感同身受发起了悼念；有的则或戏谑或愤怒或尖锐批判着美国的霸权主义；有的以寓言的形式解析着“圣战”的含义；有的则俯身聚焦小人物的生活琐事与喜怒哀乐。那改变世界的瞬间，震撼着每一个人的心…… 　　本片荣获2002年威尼斯电影节国际影评人费比西奖最佳短片奖（Ken Loach导演部分）以及联合国教科文组织大奖。Eleven directors from 11 countries each contribute an 11-minute short reflecting on the events of 11 September 2001. A village teacher in Iran tries to explain to her young students what's happened. City kids in Burkina Faso think they've spotted Osama bin Laden. A deaf Frenchwoman in Manhattan writes a Dear John letter to a man who has left that morning for work at the World Trade Center. A Chilean remembers Allende. Events recall other deaths. A mother endures more than her son's death. And so on. The tone varies, as do the locales. Most stories are about others coming to terms with the events of the day, but at least one confronts the viewer with tragedy and death.
