貪欲帝國The Empire of Shame

國考大作戰National Diploma

呈現年輕人為了通過測驗,以各種不同的方式力爭上游,面對不順暢的政府體制與不當的教育體系,年輕的孩子一樣永不放棄,努力著決定人生關卡的考試制度,既荒謬卻又無比真實。

The film portrays the young people's struggles and efforts in every way in order to pass the test of life. Whilst under the dysfunctional government and education system, these kids never give up the exam that determines their future. It seems absurd in every aspect, yet,extremely real.

星火 Spark

這是一部無關乎製作技術的影片,因為觀看這部影片時,慢慢地讓我忘記自己是影片工作者或評審,我成為簡單的觀眾。我感動,來自影片的力道,我流淚,因為我看到人性的美與堅持理想的孤獨。

It is not about how large the production scale is. When I watch the film, I gradually forget that I’m a filmmaker or a juror. I become one simple audience. I am deeply moved, by the strength of the film. I cry, because of the beauty of humanity and the solitude of persisting in one’s ideology.

  • 評審團特別獎Special Jury Mention

星火 SPARK

本片闡述一段鮮為人知但不應被湮沒遺忘的歷史,並針對寡頭式的政治和民主式的社會主義進行珍貴的討論。五十年前,一群年輕人展現了試圖改變現狀的勇氣;時光遞嬗,仍能透過這部影片感受他們的努力並為之觸動。我們希望以這獎項鼓勵這部影片,表彰其歷史價值,以及創作者不懼艱困在中國拍攝此題材的大無畏。

It is a piece of history that’s rarely known, and a time we must not forget. It is precious to manifest this issue through the discussion around oligarchic and democratic socialism. 50 years ago, some youngsters plucked up courage, trying to change the current situation back then; 50 years later, we could still identify that attempt and courage. It is because the historical value and the difficulty and great bravery in tackling this issue that we would like to present this award to this film.

 

作者觀點獎Author’s POV Award

鐵夢A Dream of Iron

影片對於這個新興工業國家,提出深刻的反省。托拉斯的大企業,像一個凌駕一切的新上帝,粉碎了其中的個人。對於同是新興工業國的台灣,有很大的啟發作用。雖然作品的完整度和成熟度不是入選影片中表現最突出的,但是我們還是認為應該給予鼓勵。這是一個由台灣紀錄片工作者評出的獎項,希望能以此獎與台灣的紀錄片工作者相濡以沫,望能對我們的社會,引發更多深刻的提問。

The film has posed a deep introspection toward this newly industrialised country, showing how gigantic corporations eliminate individuality as if they were the new supreme, which could be a huge inspiration to Taiwan. Though the integrity and maturity of the film may not be the most outstanding, still, we think that it deserves the recognition. This is an award selected by Taiwanese documentary filmmakers, and we would like to encourage and stimulate our colleagues as well as trigger more profound examination to our society.

 

新世代觀點獎 Next Generation Award

刪海經 The Lost Sea

在評選過程中我們不斷問自己:什麼是好的、值得獲獎的紀錄片,什麼是屬於我們這新世代的觀點,直到最後才發現這兩個問題根本沒有標準答案。但是我們能做的就是用自己身為新世代青少年的眼光去觀看、去體會這些影片,然後盡可能選出這世代也許會最有共鳴的作品。

這次入圍影片都讓我們有所感觸,其中幾部使我們激烈爭辯的幾部片子,更是用完全不同的方式使我們產生共鳴。在一番討論後我們選擇了---《刪海經》。

我們深深的被《刪海經》處理方式和議題的豐富程度驚豔。透過時間與空間的靈活運用、對比等等,看似實寫捕捉活化石「鱟」的棲地變遷,卻非常成功的勾勒出兩岸關係帶來的兩難、政府的承諾跳票等等。再來更是導演詼諧諷刺的口白、倒帶、畫重點……等處理方式,讓人不知不覺的會心一笑,甚至想回應他。

對我們而言,紀錄片有2件很重要的事:1. 觀點是否可以引導人進一步思考;2. 是否能使觀者進入其中。《刪海經》這兩點都做到了,並且引起評審之間的共鳴,因此我們選擇本片做為新世代觀點獎得獎影片。
