影片简介

At first, this film seems like a simple one constructed out of a series long one-shot takes, but the second half is shot with a manual shutter release that subtly alters the shooting speed. This form of shooting makes one think, for example, of the changing speed of hand move- ments during a musical recital. The effect of this style is a transfiguration of Mongolia's natural wonders into a personified landscape, and a humorous portrayal of things moving ever so slightly (flowers, clouds, animals, exercising women). The title "paty" is a variation of “party"; by leaving out one letter and by recording the title in a personalized style, the director claims a broad array of meanings becomes possible. This is a piece in the director's series “Film as Dance."
