8:00 Opening Film 開幕片
Surviving Beijing
樂會北京by林莉/Lin Li 85mins Malaysia C/E (中/英)
A documentary that is also a tale of absolute and miserable failure. In 2000, a Malaysian-Chinese rocker contingent including two bands and an cutting-edge magazine went to Beijing to slum it with the rockers of Beijing’s Tree Village. The community has since been bulldozed in China’s mad rush for development but was a semi-legendary settlement where rock musicians went to drop out as a kind of protest against a society where they found no place for themselves. But as outsiders, the Malaysian rockers quickly came up against their limits and the ends begin to fray. But in the process, they get an inside look at Beijing’s nascent rock scene, interviewing the likes of China’s father of rock ‘n roll, Cui Jian, the young music critic Yan Jun, and other key figures. In total, it is both a profound study in falling to pieces and a unique moment in time.

這是一部記述了一個來自馬來西亞的華裔搖滾樂團與雜誌,在北京郊區搖滾客住傳奇的樹村的經驗。樹村是個老胡同區,早已被打掉為都市發展計畫,對搖滾介原來是個去混而過很破爛生活的地放,因為覺得在社會已沒地位的。雖然語言通,不過到了北京這些搖滾華裔很快就發現跨不了很多文化與溝通的差距,結果就是殘酷的失敗。但過程中,他們也遇到中國搖滾夫催健,出名樂評人顏峻等表性的人,作為記錄片就算是大陸搖滾歷史中的重要時刻。

Last month Chee was again put in prison by Singapore’s government. For making this documentary, filmmaker Martyn See has also been repeatedly interregated by police and had his camera, computer, and master tapes all confiscated. 一部新加坡政府禁播的影片,它描繪了異議領袖Chee Soon Juan的生活及他與新加坡政府的多次衝突事件。因為推展民主的希望,他這幾年來一直受到新加坡People’s Action Party行政黨的騷擾起訴與監禁,上次被捕入獄就是今年的三月。製作人Martyn See也受到了警方幾次的審訊, 他的電腦相機與錄影帶都被警察沒收了
