Established in 2016, “Film by Artist” is a non-profit program inviting contemporary artists to make short films. The program aim to introduce artistic concepts and languages from diverse contemporary artists to a much broader audience through the media of short movies, and it also explores the possibilities of creating linkages between the concept of “video work” in a contemporary art context and the idea of “movie” in the wider cultural industry level. Meanwhile, it provides artists with a working platform that differs from the present exhibition system in the art world and, thus, effectively stimulates the creative energy within the contemporary field of art by introducing alternative tastes and inspirations.
The film, written and directed by Xin Yunpeng and Ye Qiusen, recounts the story of a young artist who gradually comes to term with the mundanity of life. The 35-year-old artist, Duan Shuyi is driving with his friend. They share similar experiences in life, they understand each other, and they agree to disagree. As they grow older, their dreams and fantasies are shattered by the burdens of everyday life. They find it hard to go back to dawdling within the teaching system, yet they cannot deal with the anxiety from living a volatile life of impelled turbulence. They have to give up the young and free lifestyle and conform to structure. At the end of the film, as Duan’s shadow-like friend recounts an old story, their lives merge.

文化傳播有限公司,為大家帶來“藝術家的電 影”放映與交流活動。本次活動將展示三部短片:由辛雲鵬與葉秋森聯合導演的《雁栖湖》、由陶輝導演的《私人的城市》以及由方璐執導的《廣州新語》 。 
“藝術家的電影”創辦於2016年,是一個邀請當代藝術家拍攝電影短片的非營利項目,旨在把不同當代藝術家的影像觀念及語言以電影短片這種更具親和力的方式推介給藝術圈外更多的觀眾,在當代藝術範疇的“影像”與文化工業意義上的“電影”之間尋找某種有意義的結合可能。同時也是讓藝術家們嘗試不同於展覽系統的工作方式和展示途徑,意圖使當代藝術影像實踐獲得不同於藝術圈的觀念時尚與趣味積習的活力。
由辛雲鵬和葉秋森編劇並執導的短片講述了一個35歲的年輕藝術家段術一逐漸接受日常生活的心理變化過程:年輕時代自由的生活無法再繼續,他只能與朋友一起回到體制內,開始按部就班的生活。在影片的結尾,朋友道出一段藝術家的往事,他們的生活就此融為一體。他們有著共同的生活經歷,他們彼此了解又充滿分歧。隨著年齡的增長,他們的理想漸漸被平庸的日常擊碎——雖然他們難以接受回到體制內混日子的教師生活,但也無法承受工作環境的被動的變遷所帶來的動盪不安。往昔充滿自由的生活無法持續,他們不得不去接受一份按部就班的工作。在影片的尾聲,雁栖湖的夕陽下,這位影子般的朋友向自己的學生講述了段術一的往事。
