剧情简介：
Henry Glassie has made a life out of studying folk artists and the marvels they create. Over the past 50 years, the renowned US scholar has traveled to five continents, conducting fieldwork with an obsessive thoroughness. Each project Henry Glassie undertakes requires at least a decade. Brimming with insights into the artistic impulse - and how every culture manifests its own standard of beauty and meaning - this poetic portrait of Henry Glassie doubles as a travelogue, taking us places Henry Glassie has embedded himself. In Bahia, Brazil, we meet Evidal Rosas, charged with reconstructing sacred statues for which there remain no record, and Rosalvo Santana, who meticulously sculpts from clay a magisterial saint flanked by cherubs. Captured with mesmerizing intimacy by director Pat Collins and cinematographer Colm Hogan, the process of these artists is awe-inspiring. Henry Glassie: Field Work also allows us to witness the walling up of a massive kiln in Piedmont, North Carolina, and features archival recordings of Henry Glassie's encounters with carpet weavers and ceramicists in western Turkey, and storytellers in Pat Collins and Colm Hogan's home country of Ireland, where Henry Glassie's subjects reflect on their troubled present by talking about the past. At home in Bloomington, Indiana in between journeys, Henry Glassie speaks of the particularities of his approach. His credo is to meet people in terms of their excellence, rather than their failings. If more of us could apply Henry Glassie's philosophy to our lives, the world would be a better place.
译文(2): 亨利 · 格拉西一生都在研究民间艺术家以及他们创造的奇迹。在过去的50年里，这位著名的美国学者走遍了五大洲，执着地进行着田野调查。亨利 · 格拉西承担的每个项目都至少需要十年时间。这幅充满诗意的亨利 · 格拉西肖像画充满了对艺术冲动的洞察力，以及每种文化如何表现它自己对美和意义的标准，同时也是一本游记，带我们到了亨利 · 格拉西嵌入其中的地方。在巴西的巴伊亚，我们见到了埃维达尔 · 罗萨斯，他负责重建神圣的雕像，这些雕像至今没有任何记录。还有罗萨尔沃 · 桑塔纳，他精心地用泥土雕刻出一位威严的圣人，两侧是小天使。导演帕特 · 柯林斯和摄影师科尔姆 · 霍根以令人着迷的亲密捕捉到了这些艺术家的过程，令人敬畏。《亨利 · 格拉西: 田野调查》还让我们见证了皮德蒙特一座巨大的窑炉的围墙，并且收录了亨利 · 格拉西在土耳其西部与地毯编织工和陶艺家的遭遇，以及在帕特 · 柯林斯和科尔姆 · 霍根的故乡爱尔兰讲故事的人的档案记录，在那里，亨利 · 格拉西的主人公们通过谈论过去来反思他们困扰的现在。在印第安纳州布卢明顿的家中，亨利?格拉西(henryglassie)在两次旅行之间谈到了自己方法的特殊性。他的信条是用人们的优点而不是缺点来认识他们。如果我们中的更多人能够将亨利 · 格拉西的哲学运用到我们的生活中，这个世界将会变得更美好。
