緬甸獨立電影在極少資源、極大限制下,透過在地影展、電影教育機構等途徑串連,逐漸發展出以「集體」為貌的電影社群。然而,這個國家多次政治動盪,對一切影響甚鉅,令現實日趨複雜。
本單元以近年新作為主,往年舊作為輔,展映26部跨類型的緬甸電影,柔和的電影語言中,總藏著多層次的隱喻,訴說著難以直接描述的故事,如心情日記、前線紀錄、未來狂想、音畫實驗等等。創作者們皆以獨特視角與語彙,記錄外在現實或訴說內在感受,時而直接,時而抽象,所謂「真實」在眾多作品中瞬息而現,是回應時代的行動,也成為時代的隱喻。
在這樣的角度與脈絡下進行反思,就積極意義來說,電影不只是電影本身,而更接近名為緬甸的真實。

Focus Programme | Metaphor of the Times: The Reality Named Myanmar
Despite the minimal resources, significant restrictions, and repeated political upheavals, the independent film scene in Myanmar has gradually developed as a unique community with creative vitality through local film festivals and film education institutions.
This programme features 26 diverse films from Myanmar, dating from 2009 to 2024. Beneath the soft cinematic language lie layers of metaphor. These films tell stories that are difficult to express directly. Filmmakers convey inner feelings or document external reality in the form of personal diaries, frontline records, futuristic fantasies, audiovisual experiments, and more. Direct or abstract, the so-called 'reality' flashes fleetingly in numerous works, serving not only as responses to the times but metaphors of the times. Thinking under such context, in a positive sense, cinema is not merely cinema itself, but closer to the reality named Myanmar.
