10/11: 翻滾吧!男孩. Jump!Boys.(片長:84分)

日期:11月10日(Tues)
时间:7:00-9:30pm
地点(Venue):Room 349-350

台湾导演林育贤所拍摄的一部纪录片,片中呈现宜兰县罗东镇公正国小体操队训练、比赛的情形。此片由翻滚男孩电影有限公司于2005年出品,从当年4月15日至7月15日,在台湾各地国小至大学校园中,进行了100场的放映,在纯十六影展与绿色影展后登上大屏幕。此部纪录片的拍摄缘起,是因为导演林育贤在观赏哥哥林育信的儿时照片时,兴起了拍摄的念头。林育信在国小时也是公正国小的体操选手,曾经在高中时夺得全国体操跳马冠军,后来又获得亚洲运动会的体操金牌,然后回到母校担任体操队的教练。林育信当年体操队的队友们,已各奔东西,为了帮林育信现在所带领的这群从幼稚园至国小二年级的小体操选手们留下纪念,林育贤开始了这部纪录片的拍摄过程,纪录小选手们在训练过程中的一点一滴、训练之外的课堂生活、下课后的家庭互动,并穿插小选手同学、师长、家长的对这些小选手的感想,也包括了教练林育信的母亲对儿子从选手到教练一路走来转变的感言。不翻怎知身體好,不滾怎知夢想美...一部關於愛與夢想的體操紀錄片。

《翻滚吧!男孩》在2005年共获得了台湾金马奖最佳纪录片、中国金鸡百花观摩影片、香港亚洲独立电影节观摩影片、韩国釜山影展观摩影片、日本福冈影展观摩影片、台北电影节评审团特别奖与观众票选奖等荣誉和奖项。2006年,在全球37国、251件作品参赛的台湾国际儿童电视影展(TICTFF)中,入围了“台湾奖”和“国际纪录片奖”。


【故事大綱】
幾位來自不同家庭的小男孩,有著截然不同的個性與脾氣,
唯一的共同點是──下課後,不打電動不去麥當勞,直奔體操訓練場。
「再苦也要練下去、哭完繼續練下去、生完氣繼續練下去、
摔倒爬起來再繼續練下去、再痛也要練下去…」
難道,這些小朋友都瘋了嗎?
跳脫沉重批判式的傳統紀錄片,
本片在熱鬧無比的流暢節奏中,
呈現輕鬆幽默的影像觀察,
從教練對小朋友嚴父兼慈母的關愛、教練自己的心路歷程,
到當年隊友失聯四散的感嘆,
今昔對比之間,點出對國內體育養成環境的省思。



【故事背景】
提起體操,不少人總會想到大陸或東歐選手,其實台灣也有人從事小選手培訓。
紀錄片「翻滾吧!男孩」就記錄一位教練在宜蘭縣羅東鎮公正國小帶著七位小男孩苦練,
並拿到全國國小體操團體金牌的故事,有淚水、歡笑,也充滿夢想。
「翻滾吧!男孩」裡的金牌教練,恰巧就是導演的哥哥林育信。
導演說,哥哥從小就很會翻滾、跳躍,看著哥哥俐落的身影,崇拜又羨慕,也想學體操。
但父母認為一個孩子學就夠了,堅決反對,甚至因此替他轉學到另一所小學,他的體操夢就此斷絕。
長大後,導演從事影像工作,哥哥林育信回母校羅東公正國小擔任體操教練。
有一次導演回家,整理舊相簿時發現一張哥哥小時候與體操隊同學參加一場比賽後的合照,
哥哥說當年的小選手而今早已各奔東西,只有少數幾位還留在體操界。
如今哥哥選擇回到母校,培訓一群跟他當年照片中一樣大的小男孩,
似乎是為了延續小時候未完成的夢想。於是導演展開了這部紀錄片的拍攝工作,
替哥哥與他訓練的小選手留下珍貴回憶。
導演對哥哥提出拍紀錄片的構想,哥哥覺得很好,可以當教材,卻不太願意入鏡,因此導演先拍小朋友。
七位小男孩從幼稚園大班到國小二年級不等,加入體操隊後,
天天被「操」,但有的孩子堅持下去,並找到課業無法給的自信。
哥哥在影片拍到最後才接受訪談,導演這才知道哥哥在體操路上的心情起伏與使命感。
曾獲許多國內外體操比賽金牌的林育信教練,
有輕微的小兒痲痺,但從小就愛翻滾,不愛說話,還一度被編入啟智班。
林育信在體操世界找到自己的天空,
可是國中畢業,父親過世,身為長子的他被迫接下水果生意,體操生涯中斷三、四年,
直到羅東高商成立體操隊才又銜接上,最後以黑馬之姿,拿下全國體操跳馬冠軍。

Synopsis
There are seven boys at an elementary school in I-Lan, Taiwan. Their personalities are very different but they do have one thing in common – gymnastics. Unlike most boys at their age, neither do they play online computer games nor do they hang out in the malls. Their passion for gymnastics takes them to the national championship competition. No matter what it takes, no matter how much it hurts and no matter how difficult it is, their goal is clear and that is to become the best in gymnastics!

No videogames or McDonald’s after school: no matter how painstaking the training, these young gymnasts never give up. Each comes from a different background with a different temperament, the only common thing between them is -- they never quit. As one puts it, "I must endure the pain! I must persevere no matter how hard it is, no matter how many times I fall or how much it hurts." An often humorous study of the relationship between the coach and his charges, JUMP! BOYS also offers insight into the broader world of sports in Taiwan.


导演林育贤在《翻滚吧!男孩》一片之后,还拍过一部也是以体育为题材,九二一大地震为事件背景的宣传短片,《空手道少年》。

29/10: GADOH放映会

星期二影社将在下星期四(29日)假南方学院125室播映马来西亚独立电影GADOH,电影导演将出席与观众交流。详情如下:


原本在下星期二(27日)播映的《薄暮之光》会押后一星期(11月3日)再播映,因为当日晚上7点半,南方学院英文系将在125室将播映“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”

南方学院独立电影 GADOH放映会



(士姑来讯) 南方学院星期二影社即将在本月29日(星期四)晚上7点半假新山南方学院125室播映独立电影GADOH。此放映会是The Big Production续在吉隆坡等大专播映后,在新山特此联办。届时,Brenda Danker导演将莅临现场与观众分享与交流。

此影片是导演Brenda Danker 和身兼副导、编剧及演员的Namron合作,探讨马来西亚新一代种族关系。故事围绕着学校的一群青少年的故事,探讨新一代种族课题等。GADOH,顾名思义即争吵或纠纷。一群中学生在学校以肤色分派殴斗引起校方的注意。一位女老师为了挽救校誉,独排众议以她的方式协助这群学生,相信能带来真正的改变。她获得身为舞台表演者的好友协助。在学习舞台表演的过程中,两派人马经历不少摩擦,也显现了对他族的误解和刻板印象。

剧情渗入许多地方性的笑点,再加上人物形象刻划鲜明,令人惊艳。整部戏里的每一个镜头,都是实实在在发生在我们身边的故事。观看这部戏其实是一面镜子,反映了我们现实生活的一面,偏见与歧视,在这片标榜和谐的国土上每天上演。

Brenda Danker导演,1997年大众传播系毕业后从事动画制作技术。她亦曾担任监制,市场主管、电视广告和MTV等后期制作。之后,导演转投“Disney Buzz”(迪尼斯频道的儿童节目)的制作经理及副导,负责更多的室内及室外录影及后期制作。
演员Nam Ron毕业自国家艺术学院。透过与名导演如雅斯敏阿末、李添兴、陈翠梅、吴明金与Amir Muhammad的合作关系,Nam Ron 也是现时马来西亚其中一名最多产的戏剧兼电影演员。出色的演戏天赋令他在同代演员中备受瞩目。他是一名热爱电影的电影导演。至今,他已执导数部短片、电视剧以及一部独资数码电影长片Gadoh。他擅长采用象征手法展示丰富的视觉美感,也对社会政治有着深切的关怀和理解。这都是Nam Ron成为马来西亚中其中一名精彩的电影新生代人物。除了参与数部商业广告和国内名导演执导的独立电影,Nam Ron现正编写新作,预期在2010年开拍第二部电影。
今次放映会入场免费,欢迎公众人士出席交流。关于电影详情,欢迎浏览 www.komas.org/gadoh。任何咨询,敬请联络南方学院星期二影社的许通元(07-5586605 ext143)或新闻系讲师罗友强(016-7478987)。

SynopsisGadoh tells a story of a group of teenagers who fought each other along racial lines; a cycle of hatred and violence further escalated by their environment and school system.What was to be a quick resolution to improve the school’s bad image, was taken as an opportunity for one teacher who believed that real change was possible. She ropes in the help of an old friend and reluctant maverick theater activist for this arduous task.Is there hope amidst the cycle of discrimination that surrounds us? Watch Gadoh for their story, and what it may very well tell us about ourselves.

27/10: Lights in the Dusk(薄暮之光)(2006年,74 min)

日期:11月3日(Tues)
时间:7:00-9:30pm
地点(Venue):Room 349-350




电影简介:
在考里斯马基兄弟的电影里,冷峻的情节和摄影,对摇滚的准确把握,刻画了一个与外人猜想的福利天堂相比,更无情,也更真实和粗暴的芬兰。影片主人公考斯蒂南是一个值夜保安,虽然年纪轻轻却没有同龄人的朝气蓬勃,孤独像挥之不去的网,紧紧纠缠住考斯蒂南的内心与生活,他常常被周围人取笑,贫瘠的生活和对情感的渴望让他无力自拔。一次偶然,考斯蒂南邂逅了举止优雅的金发美女米尔雅,随着压抑已久的情感轰然爆发,考斯蒂南将米尔亚视作生命中的全部,甚至刚结识不久就提出求婚。单纯的考斯蒂南并不知晓,米尔雅其实是个情场老手,是个地地道道的骗子,经常和一群乌合... ...



Synopsis:
Lights in the Dusk (Finnish: Laitakaupungin valot) is a Finnish 2006 film directed and written by Aki Kaurismäki. It is the last installment in Kaurismäki's Finland trilogy. It features Janne Hyytiäinen, Ilkka Koivula and Maria Järvenhelmi. The film is about a security man who meets a femme fatale who sets him up using his gullibility and loyalty. The film was presented at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. It was chosen as Finland's nominee for the 79th Academy Awards in the category of Best Foreign Language Film. However, Kaurismäki decided to boycott the awards and refused the nomination as a protest against US President George W. Bush's foreign policy. Kaurismäki also boycotted the 2002 gala, when his previous film The Man Without a Past was nominated for an Oscar.


导演简介:
阿基·考里斯马基是芬兰影坛的重量级人物,是欧洲各大电影节的夺奖专业户。他在1990年的《火柴厂女工》、1992年的《波西米亚人生》和1999年的《爱是生死相许》在柏林国际电影节三次夺奖;当代芬兰三部曲的首部、1996年的《浮云往事》在戛纳电影节获普通评审团特别奖,2002年的《没有过去的男人》再获评审团大奖和普通评审团奖,2006年三部曲的完结篇《薄暮之光》继续入围戛纳,足以证明欧洲影坛对阿齐·考里斯马基的偏爱。他被称作“当代电影导演里的摇滚者”。他的所有电影都是同样的主题:边缘生命在社会中的被压迫和不平等;经常揶揄媒体甚至耍无赖,平时的导演方式更是独裁到极点,固定用一些有着很强个性能穿透屏幕的演员。



Director Biography:
Aki Kaurismäki started his career as a co-director in the films of his elder brother Mika Kaurismäki. His debut as an independent director was Crime and Punishment (1983), Dostoevsky's famous crime story set in modern-day Helsinki, Finland. He gained worldwide notice with his movie Leningrad Cowboys Go America. His style has been influenced by the French directors Jean-Pierre Melville and Robert Bresson, as he relies on low-key acting and simple cinematic storytelling to get his message(s) across. Much of his work is centred on Helsinki, his native city, particularly Calamari Union which is largely set in the working class neighbourhood of Kallio, and the trilogy that comprises Shadows in Paradise, Ariel, and The Match Factory Girl.

20/10: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* But Were Afraid to Ask (性爱宝典)(1972年,84min)

日期:10月20日(Tues)
时间:7:00-9:30pm
地点(Venue):Room 349-350

电影简介:

本片由导演伍迪·艾伦亲自出演,全片以章回的形式共提出了七个问题,分别触及了七个敏感而又令人尴尬的性的话题。 依次为“要春药吗?”、“何谓兽奸”、“女人性冷感之迷中”、“异装癖”、“什么叫性异常”、“性学博士的实验可信吗”、“射精时会怎样”。虽然不像武林秘笈中的某某宝典一样,传授的是不二法门的独家心法,但这部宝典还是力争做到百科全书一样的全面和权威。

Synopsis:
Seven segments related to one another only in that they all purport to be based on sections of the book by David Reuben. The segments range from "Do Aphrodisiacs Work?" in which a court jester gives an aphrodisiac to the Queen and is, in the end, beheaded to "What Happens During Ejaculation?" in which we watch 'control central' during a successful seduction.




导演简介:
伍迪·艾伦是20世纪后半期重要的美国电影导演和喜剧演员。如同查理·卓别林,他自编、自导、自演大部分他的影片。他最好的影片包含了幽默、细腻和感伤。影片中的角色通常是一个自我关注,伴有神经衰弱,时常呓语连连并缺乏安全感的现代人物。几乎所有他的影片的场景都设置在曼哈顿。那里为他的故事线索提供了那个城市诡辩并有些许浪漫的形象。伍迪艾伦的电影以黑色幽默见长,题材涉猎广泛,包括死亡,性,不道德的行为,他擅长以小见大,在描写小人物的经历时,深入挖掘人性,探讨人性,而且大胆地,机智地运用讽刺手法,而这些让人看后又想笑又.. .. ..

Director Biography:
Woody Allen was born on 1935 in Brooklyn, New York. He directed his first film a year later, What's Up, Tiger Lily? (1966) in 1966. While best known for his romantic comedies of "Annie Hall" and "Manhattan," Woody has made many transitions in his films throughout the years, transitioning from his "early, funny ones" of "Bananas," "Love and Death" and "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask;" to his more storied and romantic comedies of "Annie Hall," "Manhattan" and "Hannah and Her Sisters;" to the Bergman-esque films of "Stardust Memories" and "Interiors;" and then on to the more recent, but varied works of "Crimes and Misdemeanors," "Husbands and Wives," "Mighty Aphrodite," "Celebrity" and "Deconstructing Harry;" and finally to his film of the last decade, which vary from the light comedy of "Scoop," to the self-destructive darkness of "Match Point" and, most recently, to the cinematically beautiful tale of "Vicky Cristina Barcelona."

13/10: Monty Python’s: The Meaning of Life《人生的意义》(1983年, 108min)

日期:10月13日(Tues)
时间:7:00-9:30pm
地点(Venue):Room 349-350

电影简介:

这是一部喜剧片,共分七章来笑论人生的百态。内容包含了人性、性欲、宗教等应有尽有的人生问题。剧中大量运用了讽刺的手法,疯狂幽默之处令人捧腹喷饭。“蒙蒂皮东剧团”是英国最为出名的喜剧团,在英国无论是电影和电视节目都有着很多影迷,这部片子就是他们的巅峰之作,曾获戛纳电影节评审员特别奖。七个片段,从人生初始一直演绎到生命终结。“人生的意义”这类命题很容易让人头脑发胀,要不太深奥,食古不化;要不太反叛,颠覆伦常。Terry Gilliam和他的巨蟒没有,只是很无厘头,将构成“人生意义”的若干概念统统用英国人那种夸张而收敛的幽默调侃了一通:诞生、宗教、哲学、性、人性、战争、宇宙、经济、死亡、艺术、美食,……,甚至包括像器官移植这样的“小”命题。当然,被调侃和嘲讽的,都是英国文化的呆板和痼疾,顺便也把美国人调侃和嘲讽一番。


Synopsis:

The comedy groups last full length movie returns to the feel of the hugely popular BBC TV show. It features small comedy sketches dealing with all of the stages and trials of life. Expect the un-expected. Plenty of religious, vulgar, and sexual humor may offend some groups. There are even musical numbers, but with that same unmistakable brand of Python humor. The Monty Python group examines the meaning and purpose of life in a series of sketches from conception to death and beyond. In typical Monty Python fashion they satirizes and humourizes almost everyone.


导演简介:

Monty Python,英国的一个6人喜剧团队,成立于上世纪60年代。这个取名“巨蟒”的喜剧组,由John Cleese、Michael Palin、Terry Gilliam、Eric Idle、Graham Chapman、Terry Jones组成。


Directors Biography:

Terry Jones was born in Colwyn Bay, North Wales. His father was a bank clerk, mother - mistress of the house. He has an older brother Nigel Jones (1940-). He studied at St. Edmund Hall College, Oxford University. In 1965, with his friend Michael Palin, he made 'The Love Show' for television, which was his first success. Also, he wrote for many other TV shows, such as: 'The Kathy Kirby Show', 'Late Night Line-Up' (with Palin), "Complete and Utter History of Britain" (1969) (with Palin). But Jones' greatest success was zany "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (1969) (1969-74) (with Palin, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Giliiam and Eric Idle).


Terry Gilliam was first known for the bizarre animation sequences in "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (1969) using cutout pictures and photographs. They were in Brazil (1985), Twelve Monkeys (1995), The Fisher King (1991), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) and Time Bandits (1981).

06/10: 落叶归根(Getting Home)



日期:10月6日(Tues)
时间:7:00-9:30pm
地点(Venue):Room 349-350

故事简介:
源自真实故事,一个农民工,因承诺而千里背尸,欲将一个工地结识的朋友死后的尸体送回他的乡下。聪明的青年导演张杨于是抓住这个机会,找到那个背尸的农民工详谈,写出《落叶归根》的电影剧本,找来赵本山主演那个背尸的农民工。电影以公路作为场景,通过赵本山主演的农民工老赵因为一个承诺而走上一段不可思议又充满辛酸苦楚的旅程。

Synopsis:
In this soulful and humane comedy, Zhao, a middle–aged construction worker, struggles to fulfill a dying co–worker's last wish to be buried in China's Three Gorges region. Setting out with his colleague's body in tow, Zhao travels hundreds of miles across extraordinary countryside, encountering a number of colorful adventures and characters — and even discovering love in some unlikely quarters. Director Zhang Yang's humorous and moving tale of friendship offers a powerful, and sometimes slapstick, commentary on the value of community and human connectivity in modern China.



导演简介:
中国第六代导演的主将之一,张杨走的是一条亲民的主旋律创作之路。他既不同于王小帅、贾樟柯等人,聚焦重点不在弱势群体、卑微生命和残酷青春之上,也有别于官方政宣的主旋律影片,不刻意地歌功颂德和树碑立传。《爱情麻辣烫》、《洗澡》、《向日葵》等片以平实的镜头讲述老百姓平凡的日常生活,没有愤世嫉俗,没有礼赞说教,通常都能够引起大众的共鸣。

Director Biography:
Zhang Yang was born in Beijing, China in 1967. In 1992, he graduated from the Central Theatre Academy. He then directed a theatrical production of Kiss of the Spider Woman and went on to direct over twenty underground music videos. His first feature film, Spicy Love Soup, swept the domestic Chinese awards and his second feature, Shower, won the FIPRESCI prize at the Toronto International Film Festival. Getting Home is his fifth feature film.

29/9:Peur(s)du noir / Fears of the Dark《暗夜恐惧》

日期:9月29日

故事简介:Peur(s)du noir / Fears of the Dark《暗夜恐惧》
《暗夜恐惧》召集8位艺术家、以黑白简约画风讲述了一个个关于恐惧的故事。故事发生在维多利亚时代,一个笑容邪恶的男人牵着4头恶犬招摇过市,他最大的乐趣就是看着它们将无辜人们撕成碎片;男孩来到沼泽地度过他的暑假,渐渐的他发现他周围的人们一个个消失了;一个日本小姑娘备受噩梦的折磨(颇有伊藤润二的风格);几只诡异而充满魔力的虫子闯入了一个害羞的男孩的生活,从而将他引向噩梦般的旅程(卡夫卡式的臆想混合着大卫·柯南伯格式的视觉风格,让人眩晕)……女人孤独的旁白将这8个故事串起。8位艺术家或从死亡的诗作、或从童年记忆与噩梦幻觉中获得灵感,创从而造了这部视觉风格奇诡的“怪谈录”。电影更是融合了多种画风,从炭笔绘画到简略的flash,有的线条庞杂柔美,有的带着强烈几何造型感、风格硬朗。


Synopsis:
Spiders' legs brushing against naked skin…Unexplainable noises heard at night in a dark bedroom…A big empty house where you feel a presence…A hypodermic needle getting closer and closer…A dead thing trapped in a bottle of formaldehyde…
Note on the film: Children are afraid of the dark but many adults also are! Darkness prevents from seeing, and we can then persuade ourselves that we are surrounded by beasts, insects or any other malevolent creature. In colloquial language, we talk about "dark ideas", "living in dark misery" or "having dark premonitions"…This feeling of uneasiness can be traced back to the mists of time. Blutch, Charles Burns, Marie Caillou, Pierre di Sciullo, Jerry Kramsky, Lorenzo Mattotti, Richard McGuire, Michel Pirus, Romain Slocombe, went back to the origins of their terrors and agreed to animate their drawings and inspire them, each one in his unique style, with the rhythm of their nightmares.

Directors: The first story is a traditional animation written and directed by Blutch. The second story is a three-dimensional computer animation written and directed by Charles Burns. The third story is a two-dimensional computer animation written by Romain Slocombe and directed by Marie Caillou. The fourth story is a traditional animation directed by Lorenzo Mattotti. The fifth story is directed by Richard McGuire. The intervals are two-dimensional computer animations written and directed by Pierre di Sciullo.
