1月23日，第73届柏林国际电影节公布入围名单，由峨眉电影集团、大吉影业、内蒙古电影集团、上海镜曰影业等出品的影片《白塔之光》入围柏林国际电影节主竞赛单元，该片为本单元今年唯一入选的华语作品，亦是近年来为数不多进入国际三大电影节视野的华语电影之一。
电影《白塔之光》由张律导演编剧、执导，辛柏青、黄尧、田壮壮、南吉等主演，出品人韩梅、南吉、曾涵、张律，总制片人张建。影片讲述了人们在亲情、爱情的羁绊下，互相治愈与陪伴的温情故事。不久前，张律导演曾凭借电影《漫长的告白》，分别获得第35届中国电影金鸡奖“最佳中小成本故事片”，和第九届丝绸之路国际电影节“最佳编剧”殊荣。这也是张律导演继《漫长的告白》后，第二次与辛柏青合作。
作为一位中国作者电影导演，张律导演不仅获得了国内电影奖项的认可，还曾多次得到国际各大电影节青睐。在《白塔之光》之前，张律导演曾与柏林电影节三次结缘：2007年他的长片《沙漠之梦》入围第57届柏林电影节主竞赛单元，2010年《豆满江》（又名《图们江》）入围第60届柏林电影节新生代单元，并获得“水晶熊最佳电影特别提及”奖，2019年《福冈》入围第69届柏林电影节论坛单元。张律导演的作品一直关注人物关系的探讨，尤其是“剪不断理还乱”的多角爱情关系，而在《白塔之光》中，张律导演希望通过影片中人物的相遇与缘分，表达自己对家庭和人生的感悟，进一步深入人物对自我、身份认同的探讨。电影《白塔之光》入围第73届柏林电影节 主竞赛单元，为本单元今年唯一入选的华语作品，讲述了人们在亲情、爱情的羁绊下，互相治愈与陪伴的温情故事。该片由张律导演编剧、执导，辛柏青、黄尧、田壮壮、南吉等主演。本片由峨眉电影集团、大吉影业、内蒙古电影集团、上海镜曰影业等出品并制作，出品人韩梅、南吉、曾涵、张律，总制片人张建。
Gu Wentong, a middle-aged food critic, is divorced with a daughter whom he sends to live with his sister. He has lost contact with his father for forty years until he learns from his brother-in-law that his father lives alone in Beidaihe, a coastal town 300 kilometers northeast of Beijing. Still troubled by the incident that broke up his family, Wentong is reluctant to visit his “disgraced” father.
Meanwhile, he bonds with his younger work partner, photographer Ouyang Wenhui, who is also a “native” of Beidaihe. They often meet up in the area near the White Pagoda and visit local eateries together. As they come to know more about each other, they develop a sometimes romantic and sometimes father-daughter relationship. Eventually, Wentong finds himself growing to resemble his father. He starts to reconsider his roles in life: as a father, as a son, as a lover.
People drift apart, but the White Pagoda remains there, bearing witness to their decisions and regrets.
人到中年，谷文通（辛柏青饰）不再写诗，转做网络美食博主。离婚后的他把女儿送到姐姐姐夫家，自己过上了京城胡同里的独居生活。父亲谷运来（田壮壮饰）在他5岁那年进了劳教所，被母亲扫地出门，从此音信全无。一日，谷文通偶然从姐夫那里得知，父亲一直在北戴河独居，一年两次骑车来京，只为远远看孩子们一眼。尽管对父亲充满好奇与思念，谷文通却缺勇气直面那个“犯错的人”。
谷文通的工作拍档是年轻摄影师欧阳文慧（黄尧饰），他们总相约在白塔寺附近碰面一起探访京圈餐厅、酒馆。随着双方了解加深，他们的关系变得时而浪漫隐秘，时而如父如女。他得知欧阳生在北戴河，这恰好成为了他到访北戴河的契机。北戴河之旅，让谷文通仿佛在自己的身上发现了父亲的影子——作为父亲，作为儿子，作为伴侣——他开始重新审视生活。
人会走散，但白塔会始终伫立在那儿，见证他们的决定与遗憾……
It seems to be a story of fate. Indeed, fate casts its immense shadow over our characters throughout the narrative. However, I am not interested in determinism or the state of powerlessness it entails, but the emotional and spiritual fragments that become lost as their lives unfold.
In order to fight against a certain entity, one oftentimes searches for its opposite; but this is not what I want to achieve with this film.
Instead, what I want to achieve is to patiently and carefully gather all the missing fragments -- not to join them together again into an entity -- but to preserve them, so that they can exist independently and uncompromisingly; to shore them up against forgetfulness with precise image and sound, so that they will never be lost again.
这是个貌似宿命的故事。期间，的确也笼罩着命运巨大的阴影。但我感兴趣的不是其结果带来的无奈或武断，而是这一过程中遗失的一些情感和精神的碎片。
为了和某个整体相对抗，往往寻找另外的整体。但这不是我要做的事情。
我要做的是：耐心、细致地聚拢起所有遗失的碎片，但绝不是再把碎片连缀成某个整体，而是让碎片独立而毫不妥协地存在下去。
