首部由509位普通人拍摄的纪实影像共创而成的竖屏院线电影。影片通过鲜活、国产生动、国产直接、朴素的自拍影像，呈现了一个背井离乡、奋力拼搏在社会生产一线的当代中国人群像：他们在田野上、在工厂里、在运输途中、在钢筋水泥间，体验着生命的酷暑与寒冬。一个个跌跌撞撞却又欢颜前行的人物，在面对困境与征服困境的循环往复中展现出强大的人格力量，在漂泊奋斗与身心还乡中勾勒出属于国人的情义世界。影片从物质追求和精神归宿两方面关注快速变迁的时代背景下那些微小却饱含生命力的个体，通过芸芸众生的“自画像”看见一个生动真实的当代中国。

回复 :Last at the Festival with 2017’s rural noir Dark River, a selection in the Platform programme, writer-director Clio Barnard returns to the Bradford, West Yorkshire setting of her earlier films for this tumultuous, fiercely affecting midlife love story.A bundle of good humour and nervous energy, Ali (Adeel Akhtar) is a British Pakistani working-class landlord who forges close bonds with his tenants. One day, while picking up one of his tenants’ children from school, he offers a lift to Ava (Claire Rushbrook), an Irish-born teacher and single mother of five. They bond almost instantly through their love of music, though Ali favours the high energy of Buzzcocks and hip-hop while Ava takes refuge in the quieter comforts of Bob Dylan and Karen Dalton. Despite their divergent backgrounds, differences in their stages of life, and the colour of their skin, despite the fact of Ali’s failing marriage and Ava’s fraught relationship with her adult and adolescent children, each finds themself irresistibly drawn to the other. But can their mutual desire transcend a barrage of personal obstacles?Inspired by people Barnard encountered while making her acclaimed features The Arbor and The Selfish Giant, Ali & Ava is a film that feels profoundly rooted in lived experience, blending a tender emotional complexity with an at times bracing depiction of trauma and grief. Akhtar and Rushbrook’s finely hued performances speak to the setting’s cultural diversity and tribal loyalties while yielding a vulnerability that’s alternately heart-wrenching and joyous. Their story serves as a reminder that it is sometimes the least likely connections that are the ones most worth pursuing.
