Devet dana prije TED2008, redatelj David Hoffman izgubio je skoro sve što je posjedovao u požaru koji mu je uništio kuću, ured i 30 godina strastvenog kolekcionarstva. Gleda unatrag na život koji je u trenutku uništen – i s optimizmom gleda u budućnost.

I had a fire nine days ago.

Zadesio me požar prije devet dana.
00:23
My archive:
1
5000
2000
Moja arhiva...
00:25
175 films, my 16-millimeter negative,
2
7000
3000
175 filmova, moji 16-mm negativi,
00:28
all my books, my dad's books, my photographs.
3
10000
3000
sve moje knjige, knjige moga oca,
00:31
I'd collected --
4
13000
2000
moje fotografije... Ja sam sakupljao...
00:33
I was a collector, major, big-time.
5
15000
2000
bio sam veliki sakupljač...
00:35
It's gone.
6
17000
3000
sada toga više nema.
00:38
I just looked at it,
7
20000
2000
Gledao sam u to
00:40
and I didn't know what to do.
8
22000
3000
i nisam znao što učiniti.
00:43
I mean, this was --
9
25000
2000
Mislim, to je bilo...
00:45
was I my things?
10
27000
3000
jesam li ja bio moje stvari?
00:48
I always live in the present -- I love the present.
11
30000
3000
Uvijek živim u sadašnjosti – volim sadašnjost.
00:51
I cherish the future.
12
33000
3000
Radujem se budućnosti.
00:54
And I was taught some strange thing as a kid,
13
36000
3000
I kao dijete učili su me neke čudne stvari, poput:
00:57
like, you've got to make something good out of something bad.
14
39000
2000
moraš napraviti nešto dobro iz nečega lošeg.
00:59
You've got to make something good out of something bad.
15
41000
2000
Moraš napraviti nešto dobro iz nečega lošeg.
01:01
This was bad! Man, I was --
16
43000
2000
Ovo je bilo loše, čovječe!
01:03
I cough. I was sick.
17
45000
2000
Kašljao sam. Bio sam bolestan.
01:05
That's my camera lens. The first one --
18
47000
2000
To su leće moje kamere. Moja prva –
01:07
the one I shot my Bob Dylan film with 35 years ago.
19
49000
3000
ona s kojom sam snimao film o Bob Dylanu prije 35 godina.
01:10
That's my feature film. "King, Murray"
20
52000
2000
Ovo je moj cjelovečernji film "Kralj, Murray"
01:12
won Cannes Film Festival 1970 --
21
54000
2000
nagrađen 1970. na filmskom festivalu u Cannesu –
01:14
the only print I had.
22
56000
3000
jedina kopija koju sam imao.
01:17
That's my papers.
23
59000
2000
Ovo su moji papiri.
01:19
That was in minutes -- 20 minutes.
24
61000
2000
To se dogodilo u 20 minuta.
01:21
Epiphany hit me. Something hit me.
25
63000
2000
Imao sam otkrivenje. Nešto mi je došlo.
01:23
"You've got to make something good out of something bad,"
26
65000
3000
"Moraš napraviti nešto dobro iz nečeg lošeg,"
01:27
I started to say to my friends, neighbors, my sister.
27
69000
2000
počeo sam govoriti svojim prijateljima, susjedima, sestri...
01:29
By the way, that's "Sputnik." I ran it last year.
28
71000
2000
Inače, ovo je "Sputnik", prikazan prošle godine.
01:31
"Sputnik" was downtown, the negative. It wasn't touched.
29
73000
3000
"Sputnik" je bio u centru, negativ. Netaknut je.
01:35
These are some pieces of things I used in my Sputnik feature film,
30
77000
3000
Ovo su neki dijelovi stvari koje sam koristio u filmu Sputnik,
01:38
which opens in New York in two weeks
31
80000
2000
koji se počinje prikazivati u New Yorku
01:40
downtown.
32
82000
3000
...u centru.
01:44
I called my sister. I called my neighbors. I said, "Come dig."
33
86000
2000
Nazvao sam sestru, nazvao sam susjede, rekao sam "Dođite kopati."
01:46
That's me at my desk.
34
88000
3000
Ovo sam ja uz svoj stol.
01:50
That was a desk took 40-some years to build.
35
92000
2000
Taj stol se gradio 40 godina.
01:52
You know -- all the stuff.
36
94000
2000
Znate – sve stvari.
01:54
That's my daughter, Jean.
37
96000
2000
Ovo je moja kći, Jean.
01:56
She came. She's a nurse in San Francisco.
38
98000
2000
Došla je. Ona je medicinska sestra u San Franciscu.
01:58
"Dig it up," I said. "Pieces.
39
100000
2000
"Iskopajte," rekao sam. "dijelove.
02:00
I want pieces. Bits and pieces."
40
102000
2000
želim dijelove, komadiće i dijelove."
02:02
I came up with this idea: a life of bits and pieces,
41
104000
3000
Došao sam na ideju: život u komadićima i dijelovima,
02:05
which I'm just starting to work on -- my next project.
42
107000
2000
na kojoj tek počinjem raditi – to je moj novi projekt.
02:07
That's my sister. She took care of pictures,
43
109000
3000
Ovo je moja sestra. Ona se pobrinula za slike,
02:10
because I was a big collector of snapshot photography
44
112000
3000
zato što sam bio veliki kolekcionar fotografija
02:13
that I believed said a lot.
45
115000
2000
za koje sam vjerovao da puno govore.
02:15
And those are some of the pictures that --
46
117000
2000
I ovo su neke od slika...
02:17
something was good about the burnt pictures.
47
119000
2000
nešto je bilo dobro u izgorenim slikama.
02:19
I didn't know. I looked at that --
48
121000
2000
Nisam znao. Pogledao sam to i
02:21
I said, "Wow, is that better than the --"
49
123000
2000
rekao, "Wow, je li to bolje nego..."
02:23
That's my proposal on Jimmy Doolittle. I made that movie for television.
50
125000
2000
Ovo je moj prijedlog za film Jimmy Doolittle. Napravio sam ga za televiziju.
02:25
It's the only copy I had. Pieces of it.
51
127000
3000
To je bila jedina kopija koju sam imao – dijelovi toga.
02:29
Idea about women.
52
131000
2000
Ideja o ženama.
02:31
So I started to say, "Hey, man, you are too much!
53
133000
3000
Počeo sam govoriti "Čovječe, previše je!
02:34
You could cry about this." I really didn't.
54
136000
3000
Mogao bih plakati zbog ovoga." Ali zbilja nisam.
02:37
I just instead said,
55
139000
2000
Umjesto toga sam rekao,
02:39
"I'm going to make something out of it, and maybe next year ... "
56
141000
2000
"Nešto ću napraviti iz ovoga, možda sljedeće godine..."
02:41
And I appreciate this moment
57
143000
2000
I cijenim ovaj trenutak
02:43
to come up on this stage with so many people
58
145000
2000
izlaska na pozornicu sa toliko ljudi
02:45
who've already given me so much solace,
59
147000
3000
koji su mi dali toliko utjehe,
02:48
and just say to TEDsters:
60
150000
2000
i rekao bih TEDstersima:
02:50
I'm proud of me. That I take something bad,
61
152000
3000
Ponosan sam na sebe. Zbog toga što sam uzeo nešto loše,
02:53
I turn it, and I'm going to make something good out of this,
62
155000
2000
preokrenuo to, i napravit ću nešto dobro iz toga,
02:55
all these pieces.
63
157000
2000
svih ovih dijelova.
02:57
That's Arthur Leipzig's original photograph I loved.
64
159000
3000
Ovo je originalna fotografija Arthura Leipziga koju sam volio.
03:00
I was a big record collector --
65
162000
2000
Bio sam veliki sakupljač ploča...
03:02
the records didn't make it. Boy, I tell you,
66
164000
2000
ploče nisu preživjele. Kažem vam...
03:04
film burns. Film burns.
67
166000
3000
film gori, film gori!
03:07
I mean, this was 16-millimeter safety film.
68
169000
2000
Ovo je bio 16mm sigurnosni film.
03:09
The negatives are gone.
69
171000
2000
Negativi su nestali.
03:12
That's my father's letter to me, telling me to
70
174000
1000
To je pismo mogao oca u kojem mi govori
03:14
marry the woman I first married when I was 20.
71
176000
3000
da se oženim za svoju prvu ženu kad mi je bilo 20 godina.
03:18
That's my daughter and me.
72
180000
3000
Ovo smo moja kćer i ja.
03:22
She's still there. She's there this morning, actually.
73
184000
2000
Ona je još uvijek tamo. Ona je i jutros tamo, zapravo.
03:24
That's my house.
74
186000
2000
Ovo je moja kuća.
03:26
My family's living in the Hilton Hotel in Scotts Valley.
75
188000
3000
Moja obitelj živi u hotelu Hilton u Scotts Valleyu.
03:29
That's my wife, Heidi,
76
191000
2000
To je moja žena, Heidi,
03:31
who didn't take it as well as I did.
77
193000
3000
koja to nije primila tako dobro kao ja.
03:34
My children, Davey and Henry.
78
196000
3000
Moja djeca, Davey i Henry.
03:37
My son, Davey, in the hotel two nights ago.
79
199000
3000
Moj sin, Davey, u hotelu prije dvije noći.
03:41
So, my message to you folks,
80
203000
2000
Dakle, moja poruka vama,
03:43
from my three minutes, is that I appreciate the chance
81
205000
3000
u ove moje tri minute, jest da cijenim priliku
03:46
to share this with you. I will be back. I love being at TED.
82
208000
3000
što mogu ovo podijeliti s vama. Vratit ću se. Volim biti na TED-u.
03:49
I came to live it, and I am living it.
83
211000
3000
Došao sam živjeti to, i živim.
03:52
That's my view from my window outside of Santa Cruz, in Bonny Doon,
84
214000
3000
To je pogled s mog prozora izvan Santa Cruza, u Bonny Doon,
03:55
just 35 miles from here.
85
217000
3000
samo 56 kilometara odavde.
03:58
Thank you everybody.
86
220000
2000
Hvala svima.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Hoffman - FilmmakerIn David Hoffman's long film career, he's made documentaries on everything from Amelia Earhardt to B.B. King, from double-dutch jump-roping to F-15 fighter pilots. Lately he's been fascinated with the early space program and our mania for all things Sputnik.
Why you should listen
Documentary filmmaker David Hoffman has been capturing reality for almost 4 decades, following his wide-ranging interests and turning them into films for PBS, The Discovery Channel, A&E, National Geographic. Highlights from his career include the groundbreaking experimental doc King, Murray, which blurred boundaries between truth and fiction as it tracks its subject through a debauched weekend in Las Vegas; A Day With Filmmaker Timmy Page, about a 12-year-old auteur; and his series of films on American indigenous music.
Lately, he has become fascinated with the Atomic-era Space Race, turning out a feature-length documentary about the Sputnik era. Sputnik Mania was scored by Thomas Dolby and has played at festivals and theaters around the country.
Hoffman suffered a devastating setback in early 2008 when, nine days before TED2008, his home, containing a vast archive from his long and fascinating career, burnt to the ground. His next project: to reframe his life and rebuild.
