荷兰人gertjan为鹿特丹影展工作。

有一天,我问他,我应该去还是留。
该如何选择我的未来?
他对我说,不是选择此或彼。
是选择,一个你,和一个更好的你。
他说,是选择做学者的你,还是做更优秀的学者的你。
正如他自己,总是想做最优秀的选片人,所以他去非洲,去所有其他选片人不去的地方。
(他的工作基地还包括北京的宋庄)

和做学者比起来,也许去发现电影是更美好的一个工作。

我暂时这么想着。

My Dutch friend Gertjan works for the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
One day---not too long ago, I consulted him about my career choice, which according to him
showed that I was "very desperate".
(come on...I always thinks he's my mentor)

He then told me that it's not about choosing between two different places but between a you and a better you. Gertjan himself isn't content to be just "a programmer", but a "great programmer"...so he went to Africa, places that the other programmers won't travel to.

Then he asked me, am I trying to become a scholar, or a "better scholar"?


Now here we are, ready for the screenings. Compared to the prospective of being a scholar (well...), maybe to program feels more exciting? Let me indulge in this idea for a while...
