《FAVELA ON BLAST》
Wesley Pentz (aka DIPLO) / 2008 / USA/Brazil美國/巴西 / 80min / En/Ch 英/中

位於巴西里約熱內盧的貧民窟深處，圍繞著八零年代美國節奏舞曲和傳統巴西森巴音樂的派對，正在悄悄舉行著。本片跟隨著國際知名DJ Wesley Pentz(或稱 Diplo)，冒險深入龍蛇雜處之處，探究音樂和舞蹈現象。Pentz是發現發現並推揚 “baile funk”(里約放克)音樂的功臣，並透過CD的發行在歐美各地推廣。這樣的音樂起源於暴力又貧困的環境，卻使的它更為裸露，存粹並直刺人心。這部紀錄片試著以一個故事架構來探討情、愛、貧窮與自尊，並用里約熱內盧這些最被邊緣化的人物來作詮釋。當然還有英雄反派兩立的情結，以及那遏制不住的跳舞癮！

The Lost Cause
失落的動機

France | 2010 | 12mins

以超八釐米軟片及HD數位拍攝製作，Guillaume Mazloum 的短片「失落的動機」關注於人在反叛及暴動中尋求意義的生命經驗。主角身處於反烏托邦的景況，失去一切、感到絕望。存在著的沮喪感來自人類的自由及責任，因為意義無法被定義，而是應該被實踐。主角在自我責任的隱喻中掙扎，思考自我的存在性與生命的意義。我們到底應該發起怎樣的革命？還是它僅止於本片的標題，是一個「失落的動機」？

Shot in Super 8mm film and HD digital, Guillaume Mazloum’s [The Lost Cause] hinges on the human experience search for meaning amid a rebellious uprising. A complete loss or absence of hope is discerned by the protagonist through a dystopian tableau. This existential despair marks the consequences that come with human freedom and responsibility because meaning cannot be prescribed but must be realized. The protagonist grapples with the implications of self-responsibility over who we are and what our lives mean. Whatrevolt should we lead? Or is it merely a ‘lost cause’ as the title suggests?

Spektr
史派克

France | 2005 | 6mins

恐怖事物的化身—邪靈，貫穿了這部實驗影片，迴盪著令人不舒服的恐懼與危險感。利用人類意識的邊緣找到的斷簡殘篇，以及晦澀藝術作品的片段，Spektr 結合了拼貼、雕塑及攝影，延伸了動態影像的傳統語彙。片中的視覺手法讓觀眾感知到身處鬼魅知域的恐懼，以及將至的毀滅之境。

Something widely feared as possible unpleasant danger echoes in this experimental video
through incorporeal spirits; an apparition signaling some source of terror. Using found footage from the fringes of popular consciousness and artworks of obscure scrap materials, Spektr extends beyond the traditional language of the moving image by the integration of collage, sculpture and photography. The visual tactic in this film allows us to sensate the haunting predicament of what is yet to come--total destruction.

Flow
流

Taiwan | 2010 | 5’20”

【流】表現了時間的流動，描摹當人們迷失於時空中所產生的困惑混亂，以及其中倏忽即逝的心理回音。該實驗影片以觸發幽閉恐懼及焦慮的方式來述說失去控制的昏眩不安。朦朧彷彿催眠式的視覺捕捉與組合，交織以扭曲的影像，【流】嘗試要捕捉生命中飄渺幽微 的變化，卻也同時絕望地蔓生滋長著感懷，對於一年裡不停運行的季節──隨著流動的呼吸自然蒸散。

A representation of the flux of time, 流, which means “flow,” draws on the notions of the temporal and the psychological echoes of confusion when one experiences a loss of space and time. Evoking fears of claustrophobia and anxiety, this experimental video addresses the qualms of losing control. Shot and composed through hazy and trance-like visuals intertwined with distorted and stitched photographic imagery, 流 seeks to capture the subtle nuances and erratic moments in life while hopelessly trailing the fainting nostalgia of seasons that shift continuously throughout the year--exhaled by nature, one breath, or flow, at a time.

Shōwa Incident
昭和事變

Taiwan | 2010 | 09’06”

《昭和事變》由照片與底片、超八、DV、數位相機、手機等各式媒材組成。在原始材質上，著重在對於底片特性的運用與數位檔案間的翻轉，在拍攝上採取放任態度令意外自然產生。比如說一台電池失效的相機其底片過度曝光，經由數位調整反差之後產生歧異的顏色質感；而在超八的底片特性上，利用人工手沖的方式，改變手沖的溫度、時間，去製造底片的＂質變＂；最後利用數位的翻轉製作，使用掃描、翻拍、數位剪輯下的重新排列（速率、景框、格放等），去為各種媒材進行統整結合的工作。

Shōwa Incident is edited and combined by different mediums, such as photos, films, images taken from super8, DV, digital camera and cell phone. The adaption of mediums
puts emphasis on the characteristic of film and the subversive results of re-editing the digital data. To create the random effects, the artist shot the film casually. For example, by adjusting digital contrast of the over-exposed film done by a battery malfunctioned camera will generate an unusual color texture. With the nature of a super8 film, the artist uses handmade method, changes the temperature and times taken to make the qualitative change of the film. Lastly, she uses the technical skills of scanning, re-shoot, digital editing and other digital conversions to make new arrangements, also the integration of different media.

Video Art: Chris Ritson

4 Works:
〈Sirius, Bright Star of the Celestial Wolf〉，〈Pound of Flesh〉，〈Ornamental Loop〉，〈Tabloid Phoenix〉
4個作品：《天狼星》，《成堆生肉》，《裝飾的環》，《鳳凰畫報》

U.S. | 2009 | total: about 5min

Chris Ritson 以剪貼多種被遺棄的肢體印刷影像作為創作媒材，重新組合出動物或是抽象的形體，來檢視混合了神話與怪誕的，關於身體、形態學和文化的議題。物體一開始以變態的人類形象出現，Ritson以精密雕刻般的學院派技巧，巧妙地將原本無趣的物體變形為超脫定義之外的複雜組成。思考自然界中事物的轉變過程，以及我們是如何了解箇中奧妙，Ritson使用水晶，一種傳統被使用在科學領域裡的物質，創造出彷彿外星球的風景，並在整部片中引領以人聲旁白。就在物質與物質之間的關聯逐漸向我們顯現的同時，關於人工或自然的內在本質，我們對於人類感知自然的全是都是無效的，反倒接近於煉金術秘方或神祕占卜。

Examining issues relating to the body, morphology and culture infused with the mysterious and grotesque, Chris Ritson’s clipped images of the body from various discarded print media is reconfigured into animals or abstract shapes. What at first appears as perversions of the human form, Ritson’s detailed sculptural and collage techniques transmogrifies the formerly banal into complex formations that escape definition.

Contemplating the transformative processes in nature and the ways in which we come to understand them, Ritson uses crystals, a medium traditionally associated with science, to create an extraterrestrial-like landscape while initiating temporal narratives through video. As the relationship between the materials used begin to unfold before us, whether intrinsic to nature or artificial, our interpretation of how we perceive nature is negated and becomes analogous to alchemical secrecy or mystic divinations.

Regeneration Project III-Popeggs
再生計畫III─爆蛋花

U.S. | 2009 | 5’30“

一顆顆雪白的雞蛋被逐一置入廢棄的微波爐中，堆疊成小山。在微波爐清脆的一個警示音後，蛋汁四溢橫流，不復完整。這件簡單的行為錄像作品似乎暗喻著；人類的過度人口繁衍，終將在一瞬間，觸發災難。

The snow-white eggs are placed one by one in a deserted microwave, piling up like a ill. In the wake of a bright beeping sound of the microwave, the egg liquid spurts everywhere, ended up recognizable shape. The simple documentary video seems to imply that with the overpopulation of human beings, the disaster is about to be triggered.



After coming to the US, I still keep being killed by...
來到美國後，我還是一直被......殺

這件作品是由兩部影片所組成的系列行為錄像作品的其中一件，拍攝於美國巴爾的摩的多處公共空間。藝術家將印有中、英文「刑案現場禁止進入Crime Scene Do Not Cross」的黃色警戒線置於公共場合的電梯門上，自己則橫臥在地，仿如行案現場的受害者。藝術家以「偽刑案」的事件介入公共空間，創造出「意外」的效果。在路人目擊事件的驚詫中，自身也入鏡成為事件的一部分。

This video art work is one of a series of the project composed by two videos, shot respectively in the public places in Baltimore, MD, USA. The artists hang the police line that says “Crime Scene! Do Not Cross!” in front of the elevator, and he lied down in it as the victim. By creating “pseudo crime scene”, the artist involves himself astonished at the sight of the scene. They become part of the event as well.

The Walbrzych Notebook
瓦烏布日赫筆記

Poland, Germany | 2009 | 9mins

瓦烏布日赫是波蘭西南部人口最多的城市，自1935年開始發展煤礦產業。90年代時，這座城市的礦區因為社會與經濟的變動而崩潰，當地的居民因此經歷了隨之而來的解雇潮及從中產生的社會危機感。在今日瓦市有了復甦跡象的同時，本片敘述遷移進這座城市空間的人們面對現實處境的景況。偏離實際發生的歷史細節與經濟剖析，本片描繪了一幅人類學的風景，以視覺與聽覺交錯著自然的聲響、談話、及樂音，呈現出時空的氛圍。

A former mining site since 1535, Walbrzych is the most populated city in south-western Poland. During the 1990s, the town’s coal mines were shut down due to societal and economic changes. As a result, the people of Walbrzych experienced a social crisis from the accompanying dismissal of hundreds of workers. While the city today show signs of renewal, this film illustrates the people moving within the city’s spaces confronting their reality. Digressing from historical and economic analysis on the details that took place, the film paints an anthropological portrait; a representation of a place and time filtered through visuals and musical scores of natural sounds, speeches and instrumental music.

Reframing the Artist
重攝藝術家[藝術家與真實性]

China, Germany | 2010 | 90mins
藝術家無論在虛構還是傳記電影中總被描述得舉止脫俗，擁有轟轟烈烈的羅曼史、和酗酒自毀的失控行為。於是，我們很容易存有先入為主的概念，那就是創作總是含有某種迷思的指涉；例如所有藝術家都是利用某種媒材的畫家。這樣的刻板印象更確立了電影中對於視覺藝術家們的扭曲表述。

在本片中，大芬油畫村裡的複製畫家擷取出大約五十部不同的電影片段，例如《畫家波拉克》（2000）、《狂愛走一回》（1996）、《美麗壞女人》（1991）等，並拿來重新搬演。位於中國廣東深圳的大芬油畫村，是世界上最大的手繪油畫製造地區，供應全球大部分的西洋藝術市場。村裡的複製畫家變身為業餘演員，重新搬演多部關於藝術家的電影場景。大量製造大師油畫作品，伴隨使用對藝術家在電影中的刻板印象，交融成為一種新的敘述形式，創造出虛擬與紀實交疊的影片。我們如何看待這些們同時擁有視覺藝術家及中國複製畫家的「他者」身分？Pohle在本片中以這類文本上的變換，或者稱之為「重攝藝術家」的方式，對觀眾提出問題。

Artists are often portrayed having idiosyncratic behaviors, torrid love affairs, uncontrollable acts of inebriated self-destruction, or all of the aforementioned, whether in fictional or biopic films. Therefore, it is apparent that there is a preconceived notion where creative production signifies a mystification of one thing or another; such as all artists are painters by medium. These stereotypes reconfirm the failing representation of visual artists in film.

In this video, fragments from roughly fifty different films such as Pollock (2000), Surviving Picasso (1996), or La belle noiseuse (1991) are reenacted by copyist employed in the Oil Painting Village of Dafen. Situated in Shenzhen, China, Dafen is the world’s largest area of mass-produced handmade oil-on-canvas paintings supplying a global market sourced largely from Western art. The copyists in the Oil Painting Village take on different roles as amateur actors by re-enacting scenes from various films depicting artists. The mass production of master oil paintings coupled with the recurrent use of artist stereotypes in films intersects into forming a new narrative thus creating an overlap of fiction and documentary.

This shift of context, or “Reframing the Artist,” raises questions about how we
view the exotic “other” which is both the visual artist as well as the Chinese copyists.

Sascha Pohle (DE)

Sascha Pohle是一位目前居住於荷蘭的德國藝術家，對於流行文化的集體關係充滿興趣。熱中於看著他人以及自身重新演示，Pohle探究媒體中的影像是如何影響我們對於現實世界的觀點。經由參照採用電影及攝影的影像，藝術家利用自己的影片、繪畫及照片，重新解讀被挪用的文本。

Sascha Pohle is an Gernam artist living the Netherlands with an interest in our collective relation towards popular culture. Intrigued by seeing others re-enacting and himself as the re-enactor, Pohle investigates how images in the media interfere with our perspective of reality. By adapting elements from films and photographic imagery as references, the context of appropriation is reinterpreted through the artist’s own videos, drawings and prints.

歌手馬修 連恩是今天晚上的貴賓之一，關於這次的首映他表示：

“我很興奮能出席 "血色海灣"在台灣的首映會。

這是歷史上首次，我們的孩子，出生於一個面臨全球環境問題的世界。

去年，我成為了台灣兒子的父親。但我替他感到難過，因為他的台灣，正面臨了黯淡的未來。

在台灣，我兒子的天然棲息地逐漸消失，污染正摧毀他美麗的生態系，他的海洋也由於二氧化碳酸化，致使珊瑚礁無法生存。

但我們～現在的大人，還有時間做一些重要的選擇，其中一個是我們是否要拯救台灣白海豚免於滅絕。

感謝像"血色海灣"這樣的紀錄片，讓更多人察覺危機正朝海洋逼近。我希望在台灣放映這部電影，能讓我們決定孩子生長的台灣，和台灣白海豚，是如此珍貴而不能失去的。

我們的子孫應得我們的關心。”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Canadian singer-songwriter and long-time Taiwan resident Matthew Lien will be an honored guest at tonight's screening of THE COVE. Here's what he has to say about why he's coming:

“I am thrilled to attend the screening of "The Cove" in Taiwan.

For the first time in history, our children today are being born into the world with a global environmental crisis.

Last year, I became the father of a Taiwanese son. But I feel sad for him, because his Taiwan is facing a dismal future.

Here in Taiwan. my son's natural habitat is disappearing, pollution is destroying his beautiful ecosystems, and his ocean is becoming so acidic from CO2 that coral reefs can not survive.

But we -- the adults of today -- have time to make some important choices. One choice is whether we will save Taiwan's Pink Dolphins from extinction.

Thanks to documentaries like "The Cove", more people are becoming aware of the crisis facing our oceans. I hope showing this movie in Taiwan will help us decide that our children's Taiwan, and Taiwan Pink Dolhpins, are too precious to lose.

Our children deserve our concern.”

主持人：蠻野心足生態協會　王佳真

議題：

1. 海洋與台灣人

2. 從《血色海灣》看台灣鯨豚的處境

* 海生館的鯨豚從哪裡來？

保育人士努力救鯨豚，海生館卻鼓勵「獵捕」 : 全球海域每每發生鯨豚擱淺事件時，總有無數專業人士及義工投入救援，協助牠們回家與家人團聚，但同時卻有一群假學術之名的「商人、學者」，不斷迫害智慧極高、和人類同樣是哺乳動物的鯨豚，讓牠們遠離海洋家園，將牠們關進玻璃箱內，訓練牠們為人類進行「馬戲表演」。

* 台灣的極危險瀕臨絕種白海豚

媽祖魚（中華白海豚）是台灣海洋生態資源的重要指標，由於沿海環境日漸惡化，目前數量可能僅在60至90隻之間，已被國際自然保育聯盟IUCN列為瀕臨絕種的族群，每一隻白海豚的死亡都是台灣無可彌補的巨大損失。

3. 從《救鯊行動》看台灣的海鮮文化

* 魚翅文化背後的殘忍事實

世界自然保育聯盟（IUCN）有關鯊魚族群量的研究指出，現有111種鯊魚的生存已出現危機，如果人類持續過度捕撈漁業資源，2048年以後，人類將只剩水母可以食用。
魚翅係指鯊魚之背鰭、捕獲的鯊魚在割下魚鰭後，會將較無價值的魚身丟回海中，讓牠們在海裡慢慢流血、痛苦死亡，民眾根本無法確定所食用的魚翅，是屬於「全魚利用」還是以「活割魚鰭」方式取得．．．

* 最血腥的健康食品

台灣各大連鎖藥妝店及購物頻道大量行銷販售的海豹、海狗油和海狗鞭，全部來自被殘忍屠殺的野生小海豹。根據統計，2003～2009年間，台灣從加拿大輸入海洋哺乳類油脂(即海豹油)為431,364公斤，名列全球第4大、亞洲第3大；保守估計，台灣消費者近七年來等於間接屠殺了12萬隻美麗而無辜的海豹、海狗！

4. 保護我的海洋，如何行動？

* 動物社會研究會近期行動宣傳
* 媽祖魚保育聯盟近期行動宣傳

MODERATOR:
Janis Wang, Wild at Heart Legal Defense Association

ISSUES

1. Taiwanese and the ocean

2. 《THE COVE》and the predicament of dolphins in Taiwan.

* Where does the National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium get its dolphins?

While conservations work to protect dolphins and whales, the National Aquarium promotes dolphin roundups. Dolphin roundups like that documented in THE COVE are no doubt senselessly destructive, but they can continue because ocean parks all over the world continue to purchase dolphins from them. Also, what are the ethical issues involved in keeping dolphins in small tanks and forcing them to live out their lives performing circus tricks?

* Taiwan's critically endangered dolphins

The Indo-European humpback dolphin, locally known as "Matsu's fish," is an important indicator of the health of coastal ecosystems. At present, there may be as few as 60-90 of these dolphins remaining, and they have been listed as "critically endangered" by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). What can be done to save this species from extinction?

3. 《SHARKWATER》and Local Seafood Culture

* The dark side of shark's fin soup

Research by the IUCN on shark populations indicates that 111 species of sharks can now be considered "endangered." It has been said that if current rates of overfishing continue, by 2048, the only think left in the ocean to catch will be jellyfish. The problem with shark finning, is that while shark's fins are highly valuable, their meat is often considered worthless. So sharks are caught, de-finned and tossed back into the sea, thereby destroying a predator at the top of the ocean food chain and ruining ecosystems on which we all depend.

* Environmentally Unfriendly Health Food

Seal oil is available in nearly every pharmacy in Taiwan as well as numerous mass market retailers, and all of it comes from hideous seal slaughters. Between 2003 and 2009, Taiwan has imported 431,364 kilos of seal oil (mainly in caplet form), the 4th largest total in the world! During this seven year period, Taiwanese are estimated to be responsible for the deaths of 120,000 seals.

4. Protecting the Ocean: What can I do?

Representatives from EAST and Matsu's Fish Conservation Union will report on recent activities by their organizations and how people can make a difference either in their everyday lives or participate in conservation activities.
