策展人的廢話 / CURATOR'S STATEMENT

本屆台北雙年展一揭幕,城市游牧影展將免費放映六個禮拜的獨立電影來與這個藝術享宴共襄盛舉。這些影片將包括台灣和其他國家的記錄片、劇情長片和短片,不僅精彩好看同時影片也傳遞種種社會運動要求改革與啟發的訊息。影片題材很多是難得一見的,例如投奔北韓的美國叛兵、奈及利亞的電影工業、日本的選舉造勢、還有攻擊大企業文化的惡搞兵團等等。有些影片則成功示範讓人耳目一新的社運模式,像是《幫派》這部講菲律賓流氓嘻哈饒舌風的電影,就因為真的找不同幫派流氓一起來演,結果促成了這幾個幫派械鬥真的熄火停止。其它還有影片探討像是民主、移民、以及我們的政治/媒體現象。要強調的是,所有影片都是以我們平凡百姓的角度來探討問題;都是以一種不唱高調的精神,讓看過影片的觀眾覺得受用,進而在他們的現實生活裡實踐,以期成為好的世界公民。

創立於2002年立基於台北,沒有政府或大企業的金援,城市游牧影展獨資提供地下電影和獨立電影與觀眾交流的平台。目前我們的目標是培養出一個能認同欣賞短片、記錄片和劇情片創作的觀眾群;然後引介我們這個在地的獨立電影社群給其他在東亞和東南亞的獨立電影社群。而基本上,城市游牧影展就是一個每個人都歡迎來的場合,我們的電影帶動觀眾議論的話題,而絕不是對觀眾填鴉洗腦。

Following the opening of the Taipei Biennial, the Urban Nomad Film Fest will keep the exhibition’s spirit alive through six weeks of free screenings of indie films. The films will include documentaries, features and shorts from Taiwan and around the world that entertain while also speaking to movements for change and social awareness. Films will cover subjects like an American defector to North Korea, Nigeria’s film industry, a Japanese election campaign, and anti-corporate pranksters. Several films offered new modes of activism, like Tribu, a drama about Filipino hip hop gangs that created a real gangland truce by bringing gang members together as actors in the film. Other films focus intently on issues like democracy, migrations, and our political/media environment. Most importantly, all of them approach issues from the level of the common man or woman. They carry a sense of practical idealism that viewers can take away with them, apply in their lives, and hopefully become better citizens of our world.

Urban Nomad is a self-funded platform for underground and indie films founded in 2002 and based in Taipei. Our immediate goals are to create community-level support for producers of short films, documentaries and narrative films, then to connect our local indie film community to others in East Asia and Southeast Asia. More generally, Urban Nomad is a place where people can come together. We want to use films to start discussions, not brainwash people with movies.

洪子健的短片 Short Films by James Hong (35分鐘)
洪子健 (James Hong),一位來自舊金山的電影人,將紀錄片變成了哲學推論的工具。James的電影從來不試圖表現任何客觀事實,反而呈現出高度的主觀看法,用一種揭露和檢視的方式來支持人們對於這個世界最初的觀感。James的短片主要著眼在西方與中國及台灣的跨文化關係上。 短片包括:Suprematist Kapital (洪子健、陳瀅如導5min) 、中美關係寫照(Portrait of a Sino-American Friendship)(8min) 、台北101:旅行記錄症候群(Taipei 101: A Travelogue of Symptoms)(23min) 。

James Hong is a San Francisco-based filmmaker who has turned documentary into a discursive tool. His films do not attempt to show an objective reality, but instead present a highly subjective view of the world in a attempt to unveil and examine the concepts that underpin how we see the world in the first place. In this program, he turns his scathing eye towards the cross-cultural relationships between the West and Taiwan and China.

Films: Suprematist Kapital (5min), Portrait of a Sino-American Friendship (8min), Taipei 101: A Travelogue of Symptoms (23min)



跨越 Crossing the Line (94分鐘)

(Daniel Gordon / UK / 2007)
1962年,一個被派遣到南韓的美國大兵擅離職守,闖入了世界上最門禁森嚴的地方,北韓,並且背棄了自己的國家,投入冷戰仇敵的懷抱。這個美國大兵明白了世界上所有的快樂都是虛構的。45年後,我們將要告訴你他的故事。

In 1962, a U.S. soldier sent to guard the peace in South Korea deserted his unit, walked across the most heavily fortified area on earth and defected to the Cold War enemy, the communist state of North Korea. This is the story of a man who found a happiness the global media tells us is impossible. Now, after 45 years, the story of Comrade Joe, the last American defector in North Korea, is told.

幸福的地圖 Voyage to Happiness (60分鐘)
*接著導演講評
*followed by director talk

(王瓊文、林文龍/台灣/2007)
紀錄來自亞洲地區貧窮國家的新娘,嫁入日本、台灣、韓國等亞洲富國後受到的影響。近距離觀察開啟外籍新娘潮的決定性因素以及對跨國婚姻的需求,並探討其帶來的影響。

(Artemis Wang and Henry Lin / Taiwan / 2007)
A documentary about the human effects of women who marry their way out of poor Asian countries and into rich Asian countries, the film traces the modern history of foreign brides from Japan to Korea and Taiwan. A close look is given to how the trend began, the reasons governing the supply and demand of international marriage, and how this is changing things on both sides of the deal.



歡迎來到奈萊塢 Welcome to Nollywood (57分鐘)
(Jamie Meltzer / USA / 2007 )
奈及利亞的電影,也就是奈萊塢的電影,全部用數位影片拍攝,在西非人氣高漲,甚至比外來的好萊塢跟寶萊塢電影還要受歡迎。現在幾乎是一天完成一部電影,使奈萊塢成為全球第三大電影工業。導演詹米 • 梅澤爾 (Jamie Meltzer) 旅行到了奈及利亞的首都拉哥斯,這裡簡直就是一片混亂。他花了六週的時間,跟隨奈及利亞三位炙手可熱的導演,全面性探討奈及利亞電影獨特的性格及類型,以及對西非文化和海內外非洲人的影響。

The Nigerian film industry, known as Nollywood, has exploded as the most popular cinema in all of west Africa--even more popular than imports of Hollywood or Bollywood films-- by shooting all films on digital video. Now almost a new film is finished almost everyday and Nollywood is the third-largest film industry in the world, Traveling to the country's chaotic capitol, Lagos, director Meltzer spent six weeks following three of Nigeria's hottest directors and examining the Nigerian video-film industry as a whole, its unique character and genres, as well as its impact on the culture of west Africa and Africans at home and abroad.

選舉 The Campaign (120分鐘)
(想田和弘/日本/2007)
40歲的山口過著平靜的單調生活,直到自民黨意外地推舉他參選川崎市議員。山口從來沒有參與過政治活動,沒有領導能力、贊助者、更沒有人擁護他,甚至沒有時間準備即將到來的選舉。這部影片深入了這個運作「日式民主」的歐吉桑團體,並敘述山口是如何地被他們洗腦。

(Kazuhiro Soda / Japan / 2007)
Forty-year-old "Yama-san" Yamauchi leads a peaceful, humdrum life until Japan's politically dominant Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) suddenly chooses him as its official candidate to run for a vacant seat on the Kawasaki city council. Yama-san had zero experience in politics, no charisma, no supporters, no constituency, and no time to prepare for the impending election. The film goes deep inside the old-boy club that runs Japanese-style “democracy,” and how Yama-san is indoctrinated into their ranks.

菲律賓激進主義系列短片2005-2008 (30分鐘)
Filipino Activist Shorts 2005-2008
面對著國內數不清的問題,包括政府貪腐、警察濫用暴力、民生潦倒,菲律賓的電影人們團結在一起,發出反對的聲音。這個系列主要來自Southern Tagalog Exposure激進主義電影全集,我們將會播放幾部動畫片,包括呼籲起訴菲律賓格洛麗亞·阿羅約總統的動畫短片系列 (Arrest Gloria Shorts)和其他電影。

In the face of enormous national problems, including government corruption, police brutality and abject poverty, Filipino filmmakers have banded together to create an opposition voice. One of the main collectives in called Southern Tagalog Exposure, and here we show their animations, the“Arrest Gloria Shorts,”and other films.




幫派Tribu (95分鐘)
(Jim Libiran / Philippines / 2008)
記者Jim Libiran為了他的第一部電影,走訪馬尼拉最危險的貧民窟,雇用這些青少年幫派分子在這部關於貧民窟幫派鬥爭的電影中演出。過程中他竟然真的讓這些部落幫派休戰,寫下了一個勇敢的故事。

For his first feature film, journalist Jim Libiran went into the most dangerous slum in Manila, and recruited real teenage gangsters to act in his film about the slum’s gang wars. The gangs model themselves on US hip hop stars, and view freestyle rapping as a way of life. By using real members of rival gangs as actors in the film, director Libiran both created an extreme sense of realism and brought about an even more real truce between the gangs.

Odds and Ends 有的沒的 (35分鐘)

有的沒的集合了一些短片及MV,由來自美國奧勒崗州波特蘭的卡 • 林德 (Karl Lind) 策劃。其中很多影片是來自當地興盛的地下音樂,混合了自由評論和迷幻、高度制式化的視覺效果。這正是城市遊牧影展想要用這種方式來連結基層社會大眾,用一種對環境共同的目標來增進人們的溝通。

Odds and Ends is a collection of short films and music videos from Portland, Oregon in the US and curated by Karl Lind. Many of the videos are inspired by the thriving local indie music scene, and the aesthetic is a mix of liberal critique and trippy, highly stylized visuals. It’s the kind of grassroots media community we at Urban Nomad try to forge links with, as a way of increasing communication between dispersed global citizens with common goals for the planet.

The Yes Men (80分鐘)
(Chris Smith, Dan Ollman, Sarah Price / USA / 2003)
The Yes Men是一個不分性別也沒有領導人的行動主義團體。來自世界各地三百多個騙子,投入這個金錢交易的大雜院。他們問問題,然後將所有答案偷渡出去,讓大眾得以瞥見商業世界背後,人們所不知道的種種。這部影片接下來是一些反大企業行動主義者在電視上及各地商業會議模仿WTO發言人的樣子。

The Yes Men is a movie based on the activist group of the same name, which is now a genderless, loose-knit association of some 300 impostors worldwide who agree their way into the fortified compounds of commerce, ask questions, then smuggle out the stories to provide a public glimpse at the behind-the-scenes world of business. The film follows a couple of anti-corporate activist-pranksters as they impersonate World Trade Organization spokesmen on TV and at business conferences around the world.

Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars
獅子山的難民樂隊 (80min)
(Zach Niles, Banker White / USA / 2005)
獅子山的難民樂隊是一個由六個音樂人組成的樂團,他們為了躲避獅子山的長期的內戰,逃離了自己的家鄉,最後在一個難民營中聚在一起,錄製了第一張唱片,在戰後第一次回到了那殘破不堪的家園。這部影片敘述了一群人在戰火中生存,並使得整個國家相信了音樂療癒力量的故事。

Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars is a group of six musicians who fled their home country to escape a decade-long civil war and ended up coming together to form a band in a refugee camp. The film tracks them as they tour different refugee camps, record their first album, and return to their ravaged country for the first time since the war. It is the story of a group of men rising from the ashes to inspire a nation to believe in the healing power of music.

Random Shorts 短褲隨選 (45分鐘)
(Nichols and Charnoski / USA / 2004)
玩滑板成了出乎大家意料地受歡迎的次文。尼科爾斯 (Nichols) 和察挪斯基(Charnoski)用8釐米影片拍攝他們的滑板影片,精煉出很少在滑板界裡出現的美學觀點。這部電影是此次系列活動的最後一部,所以留下一起打發些時間,看看幾部滑板影片吧。

Skateboarding has become a bigger world subculture than maybe anyone ever thought it should be. Nichols and Charnoski make their skate films using 8mm film, which distills an aesthetic dimension of skating seldom associated with this sport-cum-lifestyle. We’re showing this as the last film on this series last night. So hang out with us and watch some skate movies.
