剧情介绍
俄羅斯木偶師伊戈爾·佛金（Igor Fokin）（1960年6月14日至1996年9月21日）是位才華橫溢的街頭藝人。他在故鄉聖彼得堡接受了俄羅斯木偶劇院最後一位尚存的大師的訓練，於1993年從前蘇聯移居到美國馬薩諸塞州的劍橋，繼續追求自己的激情和藝術。伊戈爾捕捉了孩童和成人的想像力，在哈佛廣場的街角聚集了眾多幻想的手工雕刻人物，並通過為自己的創作注入生命來愉悅他的觀眾們。表演所用的木偶由伊戈爾親手設計和製作，並配以傳統俄羅斯音樂。“每個手工製作的木偶都有其獨特的性格，絲線只是為了防止它們逃跑”——伊戈爾如是說。
《木偶師》這部紀錄短片將我們帶進伊戈爾·佛金的街頭魔法之中，追隨戲劇性的事件轉折，也使我們反思對生活、藝術和夢想的追求。 The Puppeteer is a magical film about Igor Fokin, an extraordinarily talented artist and street performer. With the tilt of a wrist and flick of a finger, Igor captures the imagination of both children and adults. He was trained in his native St. Petersburg by the last surviving Master of the pre-Revolution Russian Marionette Theater. In 1994, Igor left the stifling confines of the Former Soviet Union to pursue his passion and art in America. He assembles his menagerie of fanciful hand-carved characters on a Harvard Square street corner and delights his audience by breathing life into his creations. He believes that each hand-crafted puppet has it's own unique character and the strings only prevent them from running away. The Puppeteer is a powerful, moving glimpse into the art of puppetry and the passion of a brilliant artist. The film treats viewers to Igor's street corner magic and following a dramatic turn of events, leaves us to reflect on life, art and the pursuit of dreams. (YouTube: The Puppeteer, Igor Fokin)
