「如果絕望、麻木、放棄、不在意了，你就變為對手希望你成為的那部份。」—艾未未

 

艾未未大抵是國際上最知名的大陸藝術家，也是教北京政府最頭痛的藝術家，試問有多少藝術家夠膽在作品公然罵一句「草泥馬祖國」？美國猶太裔記者陳愛麗貼身跟隨艾未未兩年，看他如何利用網絡渠道堅持維權，關注維權律師譚作人被捕、收集汶川地震因豆腐渣工程遇難學童名字。其後工作室被強拆、他本人被公安拘留，獲釋後仍被監視。除了艾未未與中共政府之間的糾葛，紀錄片更走訪艾的母親高英，和陳丹青、顧長衛等藝術界好友，讓我們認識一個有血有肉的艾未未。

 

Ai Wei Wei: Never Sorry is the first feature-length film about the internationally renowned Chinese artist and activist, Ai Weiwei. In recent years, Ai has garnered international attention as much for his ambitious artwork as his political provocations. Ai Wei Wei: Never Sorry examines this complex intersection of artistic practice and social activism as seen through the life and art of China's preeminent contemporary artist. From 2008 to 2010, Beijing based journalist and filmmaker Alison Klayman gained unprecedented access to Ai Weiwei. Klayman documented Ai's artistic process in preparation for major museum exhibitions, his intimate exchanges with family members and his increasingly public clashes with the Chinese government. Klayman's detailed portrait of the artist provides a nuanced exploration of contemporary China and one of its most compelling public figures.
