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.
