影片梗概|Synopsis
2009年情人节,一对男同性恋伴侣和一对女同性恋伴侣在北京改造后的前门大街拍摄婚纱照。这个简单的公共行动变成一次关于“可见性”的实验:居民和游客以好奇、惊讶、支持或困惑回应,也让影片追问所谓“新北京”是否也意味着关于爱情与婚姻的新观念。
On Valentine’s Day 2009, a gay couple and a lesbian couple stage wedding-photo shoots on Beijing’s newly renovated Qianmen Street. The simple public action becomes an experiment in visibility as residents and tourists react with curiosity, surprise, support or confusion, asking whether a ‘new Beijing’ also allows new ideas about love and marriage.
