The Characteristic And Value Of Personal Documentary In Contemporary Cultural Circumstance In China

For a long time, the visual media has been regarded as the executor of the national government. Particularly, there is barely any individuals'voice in documentary. However, the social transformation and technology innovation provide the individual image a large space of living and developing, which is a chance for everyone to express their inner needs of frustrations and desires. Personal-documentary comes into being. A group of avant-garde artists turn their focus on completing a charming documentary for self anatomy by an attitude of intervention when they fell helpless in the complex social environment, vacuous for their ideal and mission, or moral and enthusiasm abandoned by the cruel market. They express themselves heartily in front of the camera: emotion, desire, ideal and everything private. When they shoot not for being a film producer, but to express their concern and understanding of things around them, a real world is in front of everyone.
