Curator Chang "praised" Chinese government's policy is a work of "contemporary art." That the officials do not really know what they want, but they still move on.

Filmmaker Hu later appended that, in fact, most of the politically important documentaries would avoid screening in independent film festivals because they knew it would not do any good to the festival. He also believed that both of the filmmakers and curators "all wish to protect such platforms and let festivals brings Chinese indie films to move forward." Yet, an audience still wanted to know how they felt by seeing the well- established festivals being easily destroyed by authority. Wang replied that they have no right to interpose the transition of regime in China, but what they can do is to "hold onto our value, hoping that filmmakers would also have the courage to move on" said Wang.

片，在筆者看來，其實並非他在此時期最好的片子。雖然《漁遊》（與 《動物園》）曾在日本 8 毫米電影協會獲獎，但此片與《淡水河》、《去 看海女》、《某一天》這幾部片一樣，仍太像流水帳般的紀錄，還看 不出經過深思熟慮的結構上的意義。至於《臺灣博覽會 8mm 新聞》與 《臺北幼稚園運動會》兩片，如片名所示，就僅只是新聞或活動紀錄 而已。 筆者認為能把鄧南光提升到紀錄片創作者地位的，其實是本次影展並 未放映的《驟雨》。這部極具詩意的影片，如其片名，記錄了一場來 得快也去得快的「驟雨」，令人聯想到尤里斯 ˙ 伊文思 (Joris Ivens) 膾 炙人口的《雨》(1928)。筆者相信鄧南光應該沒機會看過《雨》，而《驟 雨》的藝術成就當然也無法與《雨》相比，但稱《驟雨》是部令人驚 艷的「電影詩」，相信大多數紀錄片行家應該也不會反對。鄧南光另 一部《蟲》也令我折服。這部片利用「縮時攝影」的技法去記錄蟬羽 化的過程，應該是臺灣人最早拍攝的生態紀錄片。 最後談談為何會出現鄧南光的這批影片。臺灣在 1920 年代中葉至 1930 年代中葉的 10 餘年間，出現過一次攝製「小型電影」的浪潮。 當時有一批總督府高官或其家屬熱衷於使用小型攝影機拍攝各式題材 的紀錄片，在其領導下出現許多小型電影俱樂部的組織，其會員經常 拍攝與放映影片以交換心得。雖然目前尚無證據顯示有多少臺灣人曾 參與這些由日人發起組成的攝影團體，以及鄧南光曾否加入任何俱樂 部，但由他的影片曾在日本獲獎這件事看來，是不能排除鄧氏與小型 電影俱樂部及這股紀錄風潮有關。若以近代出土的幾批當時大稻埕商 賈或臺灣中部世家子弟拍攝的「家庭電影」做為佐證資料，也可推敲 出「攝製小型電影在 1920 與 30 年代的臺灣上流社會頗為盛行」這樣 的結論。只是在這一大批人當中，真正擁有電影攝製技術與藝術的臺 灣人，目前所知道的也只有鄧南光一人。因此，重新定位鄧南光在臺 灣紀錄片歷史上的地位與重要性，筆者認為才是本屆紀錄片影展放映 鄧南光《某一天》

TIDF 視野 VISION

「再見 ． 真實」是今年影展的精神，不是主題。在台灣，還是有很多人認為紀錄片應該是某種樣子，拋出「再見 ． 真實」這個精神的用意，一方面顯示我們必須引介新的片子，另一方面也該讓我們重新理 解過去台灣拍攝過什麼重要的紀錄片，讓大家思考紀錄片是什麼。若你要說我們影展有個主題，我覺得那個主題最重要的就是「紀錄片本身」，而不是環保、人權等議題，希望這是我們影展最大的轉向。意 思就是紀錄片是最重要的主題，所以在我們的影展裡，嚴格來說你會看到一些劇情片、動畫片，可是他們都符合某種抽象的真實精神，只是這個導演怎麼用影像去解釋他所見的真實。所以真實並不絕對，反 而是相對的。而我們的影展希望展現的，就是「真實」的豐富樣貌，跟紀錄片的多元性。 "Let's Re-encounter Reality!" is not a theme, but the spirit of TIDF. In Taiwan, there are still people considering documentary as films of a certain form. Therefore, the proposal of "re-encounter reality" on one hand suggests that we should introduce more new films. On the other hand, it also remind us we should also review Taiwanese documentaries, finding out the significant works we made, and let audience to reconsider the definition of documentary. If there should be a theme for our festival, I think it shouldn't be the environment, nor the human right, but the "documentary itself." By which, I meant documentary is the central subject of our film festival. Although you'd see fiction films and animations in our shortlists, they all fit in a broader meaning of reality, the central spirit of documentary — just that the filmmakers chose to use another form of visual language to explain the realities they saw. So there is no certain definition of reality, but only the relative ones. What we want to show in TIDF is that rich layer of "realities" and the variety of documentary.
