敘利亞亂世備忘
波依斯：藝術改變世界
我詩故我在
導演：A. 達斯格、O. 薛通 丹麥／敘利亞 2016 100 分鐘 中文字幕
導演：安迪斯維爾艾 德國 2017 107 分鐘 中文字幕
導演：彼特羅 荷蘭／緬甸／挪威 2017 81 分鐘 中文字幕
以為是阿拉伯之春來了，豈料走入寒冬。示威浪潮席捲 中東，2011 年來到了敘利亞，人們上街要求政治改革， 爭取自由。電台主持歐貝達薛通拿起她的攝錄機，拍下 國家的歷史時刻，也拍攝參與其中的身邊好友。鏡頭前 大家無所不談，錄像成為了她的私密日記，以第一身記 錄國家從革命走向戰亂的七個階段。他們都並非特別熱 衷政治，只是抱着對民主的憧憬，到頭來卻面對暴力與 死亡。戰爭爆發，極端主義抬頭，和平的種子可會有日 開花結果？獲威尼斯影展威尼斯日單元最佳電影獎。
頭戴氈帽、面容肅穆是著名行為藝術家約瑟夫波依斯的 標記。逝世 30 年，其前衛藝術仍走在時代前面。他是首 位獲邀在紐約古根漢美術館舉行個展的德國藝術家，美 國視他為藝術瑰寶，德國同鄉卻稱其作品是「最值錢的 垃圾」。面對尖刻批評，導演維爾艾（《踢人頭》，31 屆） 讓波依斯親自解說。糅合他從未曝光的錄音錄像，像洋 蔥層層剝落，將其人其藝細細呈現。代表作《如何向死 兔子解說圖畫》有何象徵意義？藝術永垂不朽，深邃隱 喻對照今日社會道德爭議，更賦時代新意。
緬甸經歷半世紀獨裁統治，在黯淡無光的歲月，他們用 詩來照亮生命。作家昂賓特一生就是一首長詩，他是知 名良心犯，曾多次被捕入獄，痛苦回憶烙印在心，近年 患上柏金遜症，但總算目睹國家見曙光，兒子離鄉廿載 終能回家團聚。緬甸實行民主改革後，歷史傷口仍在結 痂，年輕世代的詩歌就成為批判社會不公義、提倡變革 的尖兵。導演彼特羅（《重返塔希爾廣場》，36 屆）以昂 賓特及其詩歌為中心，輔以其他年輕詩人的作品，透過 詩意畫面，捕捉蛻變中的緬甸風貌。
The War Show
Beuys
Burma Storybook
Dir: Andreas Dalsgaard, Obaidah Zytoon Denmark/Syria 2016 100min
Dir: Andres Veiel Germany 2017 107min
Dir: Petr Lom The Netherlands/Myanmar/Norway 2017 81min
A painfully intense human face to war, as radio activist Zytoon and a group of young friends lead us through their experiences of contemporary Syria, from the hopes of uprising through suppression and civil war. The camera is their voice and friend, while the Assad regime targets cameras and dissidents to control the country. And somewhere we begin to lose friends, as we realize that those who see no need to conceal their faces now may not have survived. Venice Film Festival, Venice Days Section Best Film.
Thirty years after his death, is Joseph Beuys still ahead of his time? Or his time’s product and shaper? The first German artist invited to a solo exhibition at New York’s Guggenheim Museum, his work was derided as the “most expensive trash of all time” at home. Veiel (The Kick, 31st) lets the artist speak for himself. In a collage of previously unpublished audio and video footage, a personal but transcending portrait of the man, giving new insights into his creative universe. In Competition, Berlin International Film Festival.
The news tells us that Myanmar is changing. From military dictatorship to tentative democracy, from isolation to globalization. Yet, family, memory, poetry remain the lifeline of this nation in transition, as we see in this revealing documentary of dissident poet Maung Aung Pwint, who has spent many years behind bars for his political activism, reflecting on the world around him as he awaits the return of his son from decades of exile in Scandinavia. A film that takes us beyond the news to the sheer humanity of a world in flux.

欺細金融案
真國民：我衛我城
我不是黑奴
導演：史提夫詹士 美國 2016 90 分鐘 中文字幕
導演：麥泰拿路 美國 2016 92 分鐘 中文字幕
導演：拉烏畢克 美國／法國／比利時 2016 93 分鐘 中文字幕
大不能倒，小可入獄？紐約華埠社區國寶銀行，被控涉 嫌房貸詐騙，是金融海嘯後唯一被政府刑事起訴的金融 機構。史提夫詹士 (《入樽夢》，19 屆 ) 跟着銀行董事長 孫啟誠一家，紀錄他們五年訴訟堅持不撓，最終洗脫冤 屈的歷程。影片以 1946 年勵志電影《莫負少年頭》起首， 已開宗明義是大衛打倒歌利亞的故事。導演站在雞蛋一 方，揭示美國社會不公平現象。司法機關麻鷹唔捉捉雞 仔是否選擇性執法？鐵鍊手扣高調拉人是否濫用權力？ 種種場面香港人似曾相識，看罷自有一番感慨。
地產霸權六十年代橫行美國，執掌紐約城市規劃的羅拔 摩西霸氣過特朗普，揚言將貧民舊屋連根拔起，創建高 樓華廈現代王國。小女子珍雅各單挑歌利亞，寫了本《美 國大城市的死與生》，主張規劃建設必須以人為本，開放 共享空間賦予城市生命。她策動以小鬥大的保育戰，阻 止廣場公園被馬路橫劏，令高速公路貫穿曼哈頓的計劃 擱淺。麥泰拿路（《末代皇帝華倫天奴》，33 屆）重溫珍 雅各與羅拔摩西的對決經過，並借古喻今，直指今日中 國正在重蹈覆轍。
美國黑人作家詹姆斯鮑德溫，六十年代積極投身民權運 動，1987 年因癌去世，留下未完成的回憶錄，見證美國 黑人反對種族隔離爭取平等的抗爭過程，並憶及三位遇 刺身亡的好友──麥格艾佛斯、Malcolm X、馬丁路德金。 導演拉烏畢克（《盧旺達百日大屠殺》，30 屆）以回憶錄 手稿為藍本，由影星森姆積遜代作者琅琅讀出，結合豐 富史料片段，梳理美國社會根深柢固的歧視意識，對照 種族平權的今昔處境，針對今日仍然猖獗的種族主義， 及時來一記當頭棒喝。獲奧斯卡最佳紀錄片提名。
Abacus: Small Enough to Jail
Citizen Jane: Battle for the City
Dir: Steve James USA 2016 90min
Dir: Matt Tyrnauer USA 2016 92min
I Am Not Your Negro
An engrossing David-vs-Goliath story chronicles the struggles of Abacus, a small, family-run bank in New York’s Chinatown community, against the District Attorney’s Office. Curious why the bank has been the only financial institution criminally indicted in the wake of 2008 mortgage crisis, documentarian Steve James (Hoop Dreams, 19th) gets close to the bank’s owner, Thomas Sung and his family, as they fight to save their business and clear their name. His personal sympathies merge with a passionate crusade against social injustice.
Chronicling urban activist Jane Jacobs’ battle to save New York’s historic neighborhoods in the 1960s, this documentary inspires contemporary resonance as massive urban renewal projects continue to sweep the world. Believing that humanity is the heartbeat and soul of the city, Jacobs fought against planning czar Robert Moses’ dream of building a modern city by demolishing slums and replacing them with monolithic apartments and superhighways. If you want to change your own city, Jacobs offers a place to start.
Dir: Raoul Peck USA/France/Belgium 2016 93min
At the end of his life James Baldwin envisioned a project to share his vision of the Civil Rights era and the martyrs he had known. Raoul Peck (Sometimes in April, 30th), whose powerful documentary eye has roamed Africa and the diaspora, takes these fragmentary words as a springboard to evoke Baldwin himself as a witness not only to black history, but to an American panorama, read critically through the eyes, images and words of a wise black and a past powerful and contemporary. Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Feature.
