Normally, the filename as displayed on the status line is relative to
the current directory if possible; ":pwd" will tell you what it is
(maybe it isn't what you think?)
To set the currint directory for the current window to the directory of
the current file, use ":lcd %:p:h". Then only the filename should appear
on the statusline.
To maximally shorten a file path (e.g. to set a variable to it etc.),
you can use fnamemodify(filename, ':p:~:.')
See
:help :pwd
:help :lcd
:help expand()
:help fnamemodify()
:help filename-modifiers

The idea there was that consumers would bring their broken electronic
devices, such as television sets and VCR's, to the destruction centers,
where trained personnel would whack them (the devices) with
sledgehammers. With their devices thus permanently destroyed,
consumers would then be free to go out and buy new devices, rather than
have to fritter away years of their lives trying to have the old ones
repaired at so-called "factory service centers," which in fact consist
of two men named Lester poking at the insides of broken electronic
devices with cheap cigars and going, "Lookit all them WIRES in there!"
