Abstract

The ecological landscape an individual, and by extension a community, inhabits is an influential and integral aspect of their experiences and cultural practices in life. But today, capitalist activity continues to cause major ecological collapse and, consequently, mass migrations. This article examines how the Portuguese short film Flores explores a time of ecological apocalypse in two ways. In the first, personal and collective memory of a land before collapse enables inhabitants to hold onto their homes and, in the second, global capitalist forces combine to create a loose form of ecological ‘recovery’.

紫色与蓝色：弗洛雷斯的记忆、资本主义与生态崩溃

个人，进而是社区所居住的生态景观是他们生活经验和文化实践的一个有影响力的组成部分。但今天，资本主义活动继续造成严重的生态崩溃，从而导致大规模移民。本文从两个方面考察了葡萄牙短片《弗洛雷斯》如何探索一个生态启示的时代。首先，对崩溃前土地的个人和集体记忆使居民能够保住自己的家园，其次，全球资本主义力量结合起来，创造了一种松散的生态“恢复”形式。

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.
