刘伽茵《牛皮》
2004年，剧情，DV，彩色，110分钟，中英文字幕

这部作品将近两个小时，由23个固定长镜头构成，全部在室内空间，演员是作者自己和她的父母。片中呈现的是他们自己的生活。父亲经营着一家皮艺店，母亲则负责皮包的设计和制作，他们对这门生意倾注了极大的感情和心力，却仍是惨淡经营。每一个场景都象是纪录片，但拍摄的方法是剧情片才可以做到的场面调度。其中蕴含的感情强度在中国电影中也非常少见。
《牛皮》曾获第55届柏林国际电影节青年论坛单元卡利加里奖与费比西国际影评人奖、第29届香港国际电影节亚洲数码录象竞赛单元金奖、第24届温哥华国际电影节“亚洲龙虎竞赛单元”最佳影片奖、第6届全州国际电影节数码单元最佳影片等奖项。

Oxhide
A film by Liu Jiayin
2004 | Drama | DV | Color | 110min | Chinese & English subtitles

Oxhide won Fipresci Prize in 55th Berlin International Film Festival (the international forum of new cinema), Caligari Award in 55th Berlin International Film Festival (the international forum of new cinema), Golden DV Prize in 29th Hong Kong International film festival, the First Prize Dragons & Tigers Award in 24th Vancouver International film festival, the First Prize JJ-Star in 6th Jeonju International film festival and the Best Director In International Contemporary Film Festival (FICCO) in Mexico.

Comprised of 23 stationary long takes, and shot entirely on interior sets, the film features the filmmaker herself and her parents throughout its approximately 2-hour runtime.
It is a presentation of their everyday life: The father runs a leather workshop, while the mother takes charge of the design and production of leather bags. They have invested a lot in the business, both emotionally and financially, yet are barely making ends meet. Every shot smells of documentary. However it is in fact realised with strict mise en scene. The emotional tension it builds is also rarely found among Chinese films.

刘伽茵《牛皮贰》
2009年，剧情，DV，彩色，133分钟，中英文字幕
《牛皮贰》参加了2009年嘎纳电影节导演双周。

一张桌子；一顿饺子；一个三口之家；九个紧紧围绕着桌子的相隔45度的固定镜头；132分钟的真实时间。这就是《牛皮贰》的全部。
和《牛皮》一样，导演和她的父母在自己家中再次扮演了这一家人，依然没有第四个人在拍摄现场，除了猫。一家人赖以生存的皮具店面临关闭的危险，以至让看似平静的包饺子的过程，弥漫着不详的阴云。面对如此遭遇，每个家庭成员有着自己不同的态度。即使大难临头，父母仍然为雇员能否找到下一份工作而担忧。
事实上，无论这个店关闭与否，他们都是死路一条。

Oxhide II
A film by Liu Jiayin
2009 | Drama | DV | Color | 133min | Chinese & English subtitles
Directors’ Fortnight 2009 Cannes

A table;
A dinner of dumplings;
A family of three members;
Nine steady scenes which were shot around the table, between every scene there was 45 degree;
132 minutes of real time.
That is everything about Oxhide II.

Just like Oxhide, the director and her parents played the three members of the family again. There is no fourth person in the shooting scene, except the cats.
A leather shop, by which the whole family relies on for surviving, was having the possibility to be closed. So that even a scene which looked calm and quiet in the surface, was actually under the shadow of doom. To cope with these situations, every family member had their own attitude. Even if the disaster was coming, the parents still worried about the employees whether they would be able to find another job.
Actually, no matter if the shop was going to be closed or not, there was still no way out.

获得2009年中国纪录片交流周优秀纪录片奖。

纪录片《掩埋》以冷静、客观的视角深入、真实地再现唐山大地震那一段被掩埋的历史 ，那一段历史到底埋藏了多少鲜为人知的真相、痛苦与心酸，也许埋藏更多的是无奈。

Buried
A Film by Wang Libo
2009 | Documentary | DV | Color | 100min | Chinese & English Subtitles
Buried won the documentary prize in Chinese Documentary Exchange Week.

The documentary film Buried uses a factual and objective viewpoint to revisit, with a commitment to truth and depth that buried piece of history that is the Great Tangshan Earthquake. It wants to find the unknown truth, suffering, and bitterness of how many people were actually buried, and it might expose a much higher number of deaths. Regardless of whether we confirm or deny, the truth can never be buried, history will exist forever.




导演阐述Director’s Statement

1976的唐山大地震留给世人的疑问太多，地震前唐山的地震工作者和北京的地震专家都曾发出过临震警告！但最终却以超过24万人的生命被掩埋为代价，造成了震惊中外的大悲剧。这到底是为什么？面对惨绝人寰的大地震，人类一次又一次的重复着悲剧的发生。人们仅仅是把金钱和无味的泪水献给不幸者，这是人类的悲哀。一个民族必须有勇气正视本民族的弱点，这个民族才能有希望。

The 1976 Tangshan Earthquake left a lot of open questions. Before the earthquake, seismological personnel in Tangshan and quake experts in Beijing had already warned of an imminent quake. But in the end, more than 240,000 people had to pay with their lives, causing a shocking tragedy of massive proportions. Why did this happen? In the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake about 100,000 people were killed. Faced with terrible quakes, the human race repeats tragedy time and time again. It is terrible that people can only offer money and bland tears after the disaster - when better preparation could have saved lives. A nation has to courageously face its own weakness to remain hopeful.
