瑪塔.康寧漢Marta CUNNINGHAM 2013|美國USA|紀錄片Documentary|Color|BD|89 min 2008年的情人節,一場發生在加州奧克斯納德市的槍擊案震驚了這個濱海小鎮,也毀了兩個15歲少年的人生。玫瑰少年賴瑞在全班同學目睹之下,被他傾慕的男同學布蘭登從後腦射殺。殺人償命是不爭的事實,但動機不只是法庭辯論與審判結果的關鍵,更是一場性別與種族意識型態的角力之爭。究竟是加害者罪不可赦?還是受害者咎由自取?導演並未陷入孰是孰非的二分迴圈,而是話說從頭,細述生命一路向下的經過,期待從中找到寬容與原諒,悔改與教訓。 In February 2008, a classroom shooting shattered the coastal, working-class town of Oxnard. 15-year-old “Larry” King lay dead and his 14-year-old attacker Brandon McInerney awaited trial for murder. Was this a hatecrime, retaliation for unwanted playground flirting or something more complex?Valentine Road raises key questions facing schools and communities all over the country: what do you do to help kids like Brandon and Larry before violence occurs—and what do you do after you’ve failed? “本屆日舞影展最受矚目的精彩作品!—The Hollywood Reporter” “IMDB:8.2高分推薦!” ◎2013 邁阿密同志影展最佳紀錄片 ◎2013 舊金山國際同志影展最佳紀錄片 ◎2013 日舞影展 |

古若.碧雅克Guro Sanilla BJERK 2013|挪威Norway|紀錄片Documentary|Color|DigiBeta|8 min 挪威一幢舊校舍的瓦礫堆中,兩位主角回憶起當年就讀寄宿學校的情景。導演大膽以空鏡拍攝極地美麗景致,伴隨著孩子的嘻鬧聲,用聲音勾起許多美妙或痛苦的童年時刻;光影移動與驚鴻一瞥的極光,重現時光的流逝。 Life in boarding school can be, for many people, an unpleasant experience. Yet, there are also beautiful moments to be remembered. We are brought to revisit memories from an era in the rubble of a dormitory. ◎2013挪威國際短片電影節 |
