最后的晚餐 （IDFA入围作品)
只要死刑仍然存在，给死刑犯提供最后的晚餐这一传统就不会消失。而这一传统源自给将死之人提供食物，以保护他们在去往来生的道路。今天，给罪犯提供最后的晚餐这一仪式已脱离了它起源的意义，而这一仪式本身就和死刑一样荒唐。Mats
Bigert和Lars Bergström的这部影片关注这一仪式的传统阐释与现代应用的区别，一种早已与历史失去联系的现代仪式。影片使用了纪录片素材，道具及动画等多种表现手法。主角Brian
Price, 前得克萨斯州州立监狱服刑的囚犯，为我们重现了他曾为两百多名死刑犯料理最后的晚餐。

Last Supper (IDFA official selection)
The last supper has been given to prisoners facing the death penalty
as long as the punishment has existed. The tradition stems from
funeral rites where the deceased person was given food on his deathbed
to protect him on his journey to the afterlife. Today, the ritual of
giving the last supper to the condemned person has been detached from
its origin, and can be perceived to be as absurd as the punishment it
accompanies. Mats Bigert Lars Bergström’s film Last Supper focuses on
this discrepancy between historical “meaning” and contemporary use of
a tradition that has lost its connection with the past. The film mixes
documentary material with sculptural installations and animated
graphics. The main character is the former death row chef Brian Price,
who reconstructs one of the 200 final meals that he prepared during
his time as inmate in Huntsville State Prison, Texas, US.
