Abstract

Immigration and refugee crises have become a major focus of discourses about international politics that are influenced by geopolitical conflicts and, increasingly, by climate change. Such discourses can influence personal interactions between people. As political situations develop and change such interactions are increasingly represented in media forms such as film in national industries. This article examines how the short film The View from Up Here explores the political ideology of the War on Terror and the theory of Orientalism through interactions between two characters.

移民和难民危机已成为受地缘政治冲突以及日益严重的气候变化影响的国际政治话语的主要焦点。这些论述会影响人与人之间的互动。随着政治局势的发展和变化，这种互动越来越多地通过媒体形式表现出来，如民族工业中的电影。本文探讨了短片《从这往上看》如何通过两个人物之间的互动来探讨反恐战争的政治意识形态和东方主义理论。

期刊介绍： The main purposes of SFS are: To stimulate ongoing research on individual short films as a basis for a better understanding of the art form To provide a flow of cutting-edge teaching materials that can be used in courses in which short films are either studied or produced, at film schools or universities To offer fresh inspiration to filmmakers and other professionals working with short films in connection with festivals, national film institutes, regional film centres, etc. While the principal focus is on the short fiction film, other classic forms – such as the short documentary, the short experimental film and the short animation film – are also covered from time to time. In each issue, two productions are singled out for comprehensive presentation and close study. For each film, the reader will find production data, an interview with the director, a shot-by-shot breakdown of the film with a still illustrating every shot, a number of peer-reviewed articles that illuminate the film from a variety of perspectives and a link enabling subscribers to view the film.
