电影介绍：THE LAST TRAPPER

感觉，不错！

The art of living in harmony with nature.

For over 20 years, Nicolas Vanier, an untiring voyager in the coldest of climes, a veritable Jack London of modern times, has criss-crossed the wildest regions of the far northern lands. His travels include major expeditions in Siberia, Lapland, Alaska and of course Canada, where he recently undertook an incredible White Odyssey: 8600 kilometres covered with a team of sledge dogs, from Alaska all the way to Quebec. It was during that crossing, on the floor of a sumptuous and inaccessible valley in the Rocky Mountains, that Nicolas met the man who inspired him to make this film, a film that has lived within the man...

He's a 50-year-old trapper named Norman Winter, and he lives with a Nahanni woman, Nebaska. Norman has always been a trapper, with no need of the things that civilisation has to offer. He and his dogs live simply on what they produce from hunting and fishing. Norman made his sledge, snowshoes, cabin and canoe with wood and leather that he took from the forest and that Nebaska tanned, in the traditional style, just like the Sekani did in early times, using the tannin in animal brains, then by smoking the skin. To move around, Norman uses his dogs. They're quiet, and with them he's ready for action at the slightest sign of life, but all the while attentive to the majestic grandeur of the territories he passes through. That's why Norman Winter is a trapper. The Great North is inside him and Nebaska carries it within her, in her blood, for the taiga is the mother of its people...

Norman and Nebaska know that a land only lives through its intimate links with the animals, plants, rivers, winds and even colours. Their wisdom comes from the deep and special relationship they enjoy with nature. When Norman Winter follows an animal's trail, he studies it for a long time, to understand the animal's exact perception of its environment. He knows how to free himself from the immobile image that a land evokes, then to "enter" it by comprehending what it is. To understand that is to sense the unmistakable breathing of the earth, it's to understand why Norman Winter is the last trapper and why he turned his back on modern life, that he compares to a slope we slip down blindly. Norman is a sort of philosopher convinced that the notion of sharing and exchange with nature is essential to the equilibrium of that odd animal at the top of the food chain: Man.

That's what this film, made over 12 months, will present, overlaying treks on horseback during the Indian summer and by sledge in the depths of winter, a canoe ride down a raging river at the bottom of a majestic canyon and attacks by grizzly bears and wolves...

Norman Winter agreed to make the film as a testimony, to leave behind a trace less ephemeral than all those he's so often left in the snow.

猎人文档 与世隔绝40年 Lykov一Taiga 的家庭

卡普•雷科夫和他的女儿阿加菲亚。 《Lost in the Taiga》

俄罗斯西伯利亚一家庭与世隔绝40年 不知有二战

国际在线专稿：据英国《每日邮报》2月4日报道，多年来，科学家们认为俄罗斯西伯利亚数千平方公里的针叶林带里只有狼、熊等动物能在恶劣条件下生存下来。但1979年，俄罗斯直升机飞行员惊讶地发现那里有一户家庭，他们与世隔绝了40年，甚至不知道曾发生过二战。

1979年，一架运送地质学家的直升机寻找降落地点时，在针叶林中的一个山腰上发现了“迷失家庭”雷科夫（Lykovs）一家。当时，这户家庭已经40年未与外界接触。雷科夫一家属于“旧派信徒”（Old Believers），自从18世纪初彼得大帝统治时期就受到迫害。1936年，名叫卡普•雷科夫（Karp Lykov）的年轻人决定与妻子阿库林娜（Akulina）、9岁儿子萨文（Savin）和2岁女儿娜塔莉亚（Natalia），带着财产以及种子逃难到森林中。

在随后数年中，他们不断向森林深处移动，并建立起许多木屋，直到发现了一座高1800多米的高山之后，他们便在那里安了家。除了1940年他们的儿子迪米特里（Dmitry）、1942年女儿阿加菲亚（Agafia）出生外，40多年间他们从未见过外人。因此当被发现时，雷科夫一家非常震惊。

这户家庭靠种地为生，在严酷的冬天甚至要靠吃皮鞋生存，他们不知道发生过二战。对电视、电话等现代化物品感到手足无措。他们从未与外人交流过，只有家庭成员互相交流，但语言已经混乱不堪，听起来就像“鸽子在叫”。不幸的是，在被发现2年后，雷科夫家的四个孩子有三个过世，或许是缺少对现代疾病免疫力所致。但卡普•雷科夫1988年才去世，而其女儿阿加菲亚已经70岁，现在依然存活于世。

One Russian Family's Fifty-Year Struggle for Survival and Religious Freedom in the Siberian Wilderness
by Vasily Peskov

In the late 1970s, a Russian pilot flying over a remote, mountainous stretch of the Siberian taiga, the vast subarctic forest, spotted a tilled field hundreds of miles from any known settlement. He could not believe his eyes; in this forbidding part of the world, human habitation was a statistical impossibility. A team of scientists parachuted in and were stunned by what they found: a primitive wood cabin, and a family dressed in rags that spoke, thought, and lived in the manner of seventeenth-century Russian peasants during the reign of Tsar Peter the Great. How they come here, how they survived, and how they ultimately prevailed in a climate of unimaginable adversity make for one of the most extraordinary human adventures of this century. Acclaimed Pravda journalist Vasily Peskov has visited this family once a year for the past twelve years, gaining their trust and learning their story. It begins in the late seventeenth century, when a community of Russian Orthodox fundamentalists made a two-thousand-mile odyssey from the Ukraine to the depths of the Siberian taiga to escape religious persecution at the hands of Peter the Great, who sought to reform the Russian Orthodox Church. For nearly 250 years, this band of "Old Believers" kept the outside world at bay, but in the 1930s Stalin's brutal collectivization program swept East and threw them from their land. But the young family of Karp Osipovich Lykov refused to abandon the only way of life they knew, and fled even deeper into the desolate Siberian hinterland. By the time Peskov came to know them, they had been alone for more than fifty years, surviving solely on what they could harvest, hunt, and build by their own means. The sole surviving family member, the daughter Agafia, lives by herself in the Lykov family cabin to this day. In Lost in the Taiga, Peskov brings to life the Lykovs' faith, their doubt, and their epic struggle against an unyielding wilderness, even as he pays homage to a natural habitat
