腳踏車電影院:像片簿

URBAN NOMAD PRESENTED:
DRIVE-IN MOVIES @ TREASURE HILL
10/23 - 11/27/2010


Friday, October 08, 2010

THIS EVENT IS COMPLETELY FREE! NO TICKETS REQUIRED!

CONCEPT: Because Treasure Hill is located along one of Taipei’s busiest bicycle paths, we’ve decided to create a new type of Drive-in Theater, and we’re inviting all of Taipei to drive in on their bicycles and watch some films with us. We’ll be showing one film a week for about six weeks in October and November. Aside from a special surprise we have prepared for Halloween, these films will be documentaries we’ve chosen because they’re both entertaining and tell us important things about the world around us. In recent decades, the world has been changing incredibly fast, and documentaries not only capture these changes most directly, they also reflect more basic changes, because they represent a democratization of the filmmaking process. Different groups of people are now more able to make films than ever before, especially women, activist groups, subculture groups and members of the developing world. As a result, views of “the world” are changing, and through documentary film we are seeing a richer and more diverse landscape of events. These events can be geopolitical news events, virtual events that take place through the media, or the grass-roots cultural developments. What they have in common, and what documentary captures best, is how these are all also human events, involving real people living real lives. All films will be free to the public, and we will invite some directors for audience Q&A sessions, workshops and screenings.

HOW TO WATCH MOVIES OUTDOORS?
First off, we recommend plastic wine glasses, because they will not break and certainly look better than paper cups. But seriously, these screenings will be outdoors and seating will consist of a lovely grassy park, so we recommend you prepare yourself just a bit. Good things to bring include: blankets and mats to sit on, camping chairs, mosquito repellent, a lunchbox from your favorite restaurant, proper clothing, and anything else you think you will need. Some beverages will be available.
這個活動是免費的!不用買票!

概念:寶藏巖位於台北市最重要自行車道途中,因此城市遊牧影展決定創造一種新式電影院。舊式汽車電影院幾乎看不見了,所以我們要往前看,來做個 「自行車電影院」,邀請台北市民踏過自行車道跟我們一起欣賞電影與寶藏巖的獨特美麗夜景。

近幾十年來,這個世界瞬息萬變令人難以捉摸,紀錄片不只直接地記錄這些變化,更反映出紀錄片製作過程民主化的基本變化,製作紀錄片的族群比以往更廣泛,並擴充至女性、社運團體、次文化族群以及發展中國家的人民。透過不同族群製作的紀錄片,我們看見世界觀正在改變,也看見一個更豐盛多元的事件風景。這些事件可以是地理政治學的新事件、透過媒體發生的事件或是草根文化發展。他們的共通點,也是紀錄片的關鍵,便是關注真實人類的真實生活。

我們將於10月及11月份的六個周末播放戶外電影,西方萬聖節時也有個令人期待的特映會。所有影片免費觀賞,我們也將邀請寄錄片導演到寶藏巖舉辦座談或工作坊。

參加活動小撇步:
像這般戶外草地上的放映,我們建議你利用塑膠的葡萄酒杯子,不過這不是說那種很便宜的拋棄式的塑膠杯子,要有一點水準吧!之外,多少準備一下以下物品:毯子或墊子、童軍椅、防蚊液、從你最喜歡的餐廳買來的食物,記得穿著簡單輕便的衣物。我們會供應一些飲料,當然也可以自己準備水。如果你想喝飲料,我們推薦使用塑膠杯,因為比較好看又不像紙杯容易破。

卜樺是中國的Flash動畫藝術家,並曾參與重要展覽包括:上海雙年展、釜山雙年展以及各個影展(例如自2007年起參加遊牧影展!)。在卜樺許多的短片作品中總有會出現一個穿著學校制服的小女孩不斷探索著一個虛擬世界,並觀察虛擬世界中混雜的流行文化及充斥全球政治、環境惡化、工業社會疏離的黑暗現實。此次放映配合台北兩個畫廊單位Chi-Wen Gallery及就在藝術空間同步展出卜樺個展。放映的卜樺數位短片內容則包括:卜樺2010年的最新作品 -- LV森林、中國搖滾傳奇歌手左小詛咒 2010年的MV,以及深受大家喜愛的卜樺2007年的作品 -- 野蠻叢生。

Bu Hua is a Chinese artist and animator working in Flash animation, whose works have appeared in major art exhibitions like the Shanghai Biennial and Busan Biennial, and also film festivals (like Urban Nomad since 2007!). Many of her short films feature the character of a little school girl, who explores a surreal world that mixes pop culture with the dark realities of global politics, environmental degradation, and the alienation of an industrial society. This screening is held in coordination with two local art galleries now showing her works, Chi Wen Gallery and Project Fulfill Art Space. The short films include her newest work, LV Forest (2010), a music video for the Chinese rock legend Zuoxiao Zuzhou (2010), and one of our favorites, Savage Growth (2007).



《血淚石油》Total Denial
Milena Kaneva/ Bulgaria/ US / 2006 / 92min / Eng/Ch (英/中)
** 放映後導演座談 film followed by director talk

在緬甸,加州聯合石油公司和法國道達爾石油公司為保護該公司的油管工程,僱用緬甸軍政府的軍隊,在油管區進行非人道行為:武力脅迫、施虐及強暴當地居民。 緬甸人權民運人士卡索瓦Ka Hsaw Wa多次進出該地區,冒著生命危險,紀錄遭到政府加害的人民慘況和種族屠殺現場。他拍攝的影片間接促成美國史上第一起跨國控告人權侵害的訴訟案,這起官司 纏訟將近十年後,卡索瓦以及他的族人們終於獲得平反。

This documentary investigates the human rights abuses associated with the construction of an oil pipeline in Burma funded by western oil companies, UNOCAL and TOTAL. It is also the story of the one-man mission of Burmese activist Ka Hsaw Wa, a former jungle warrior wanted by authorities both in Myanmar and Thailand. Ka risks his life in video-taped border crossings to document burned out villages and scenes of genocide, all funded by US oil companies and executed by the Myanmar’s junta government. His footage and reports result in a landmark court case in the US. It is the first time foreign nationals bring a class action lawsuit against US companies – and win!

短片 Shorts: 創想計畫 (一)Creators Project (1)

片子 Films: Peaches, Boys Noize, Peng Lei (17分鐘 )

創想計畫是由各種不同形式的藝術表現方式所結合而成的一個網站平台,不管是音樂、美術、影片、設計、建築或是任何你想的到的表現手法,都在這個網站裏面。當初網站成立時就是為了讓更多人看到這些想法和創意。這個網站的特色在於融合了一些藝術家的創意作品以及他們所製作的簡短紀錄片。而那也就是我們這次設立這些單元的最吸引人的地方。這個單元有前陣子剛來過台灣表演的Peaches(暴力蜜桃)、和十月十日即將來台表演的德國DJ Boys Noize,以及曾來台兩次的中國超新星龐克團---新褲子(New Pants)主唱:彭磊的影像作品,像是MV、視覺藝術……等等。

創想計畫是由Intel和Vice雜誌所共同創辦的,這些影片的中文字幕是由他們的中國合作者Niurenku.com所翻譯的。

The Creators Project is an online platform for that has set out to display creativity across all platforms, whether music, arts, video, design, architecture or you name it. It features both the creative works of its artists as well as short documentaries on them that it produced, and that’s what we’re featuring here: short docs on the music and performance of Peaches, the German DJ Boys Noize, and the Chinese musician and filmmaker Peng Lei. The Creators Project is created by Intel and Vice Magazine. These Chinese-subtitled screenings come courtesy of their China partner, Niurenku.com.



《 一個好人 》 A Good Man
Safina Uberoi/Australia/2009/80min /En/Ch (英/中)

這是有關一名澳洲牧羊農夫為了患病妻子而選擇開妓院謀生的真實紀錄片。14年前,瑞吉發現懷孕後不久突然中風,從此成為四肢麻痺者,不能走路、說話甚至移動雙臂,但其丈夫基斯多年來對她不離不棄,本身為牧羊農夫的基斯,為了解決財政上的困境,讓妻子有更舒適的生活,他決定放棄牧羊,轉為經營妓院。薩芬娜用了一年多時間將這則故事拍成電影,從妓院的建造過程到開始營業,薩芬娜一直跟隨基斯及其朋友,將整個過程紀錄下來,在性工作者搬進這個基斯和瑞吉的新家的同時,作為好丈夫和妓院主人的基斯仍對行動不便的妻子百般照顧,薩芬娜把兩者的強大對比和矛盾的張力,用幽默手法呈現出來,並為這個家庭塑造了令人感動和驚喜的形象。

Seldom have we ever seen a documentary that was both so funny and so touching. Chris Rohrlach seems like an ordinary Australian bloke from the country, but he has an extraordinary story: fourteen years ago, his pregnant girlfriend Rachel had a massive stroke that left her incurably quadriplegic. Undeterred, the couple were married shortly after their son was born. Years on, with another baby on the way this inspiring couple decided they needed a second income. The solution? Open a brothel in their conservative country town. Filmmaker Safina Uberoi directs a compelling and sensitive film about love, commitment and resilience.

Tonight’s theme is remix, so we’re warming up with two artists from the Creators Project stable that have embraced the Internet in a big way, the American DJ Diplo, and the Brazilian dance-rock band CSS.


《混製宣言》RiP! A Remix Manifesto
Brett Gaylor/Canada/2009/80min / En/Ch (英/中)

《混製宣言》是一部關於版權和混製文化的紀錄片。網路行動者及導演布雷特 ˙蓋勒在訊息時代探討版權問題,顛覆二十世纪媒體傳統形象,且打破大眾和媒體人的隔閡。電影主角Girl Talk為一名混製音樂創作者,他放歌的時候,連 Paris Hilton 上台跳舞 ,但他到底是草根力量楷模還是侵權行為引領者呢?從 Mickey Mouse 到 Metallica, 來看版權的影響力跨到我們所有的文化生產,也來聽如何 Muddy Waters 的音樂變成 Rolling Stones 的歌,再來透過 The Verve 的詮釋改成另外一個東西,最後出現在 Nike 的廣告的時候,也變成訴訟的主題。知識共享創始人勞倫斯˙萊斯格、巴西文化部長吉爾伯托˙吉爾、大眾文化批評家科利˙多克托羅一同探討此問題。

RiP: A remix Manifesto is a documentary film about copyright and remix culture. It starts off by following the mash-up artist Girl Talk, who’s topping the charts (and even meeting Paris Hilton) with his sample-based songs. But is Girl Talk about people power or piracy? Creative Commons founder, Lawrence Lessing, Brazil's Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow all add perspective on how copyright has comes to affect everything from Mickey Mouse to Metallica. Follow songs from Muddy Waters to the Rolling Stones to the Verve and finally Nike commercials, and witness the ridiculous and era-defining lawsuits that ensue. If you listen to music regularly – any music! - this film is for you.

2 Films by Coan Nichols and Rick Charnoski
**Director Q&A following screening

Coan “Buddy” Nichols 與 Rick Charnoski 1998年認識,一下子就發先他們都超愛兩個東西,一個是玩滑板,另一個是以超八米厘底片為拍電影。他們兩個也是那種為了尋找聽說過的傳奇玩滑板的地方,願意開車兩天,不管是在德州,奧勒岡州,或是加州的無水的游泳池。這十年來,他們一直靠著這種素材拍了許多電影,片中的又粗糙又美麗的美學感夠好引起著明獨立電影導演 Gus van Sant 的主意,他後來利用他們的一些片斷在《迷幻公園》 (Paranoid Park) 一部電影裡。 Rick 與 Buddy 拍過電視廣告,MV,短片電影,紀錄片等不同類型的作品,我們現在非常的高興他們能來台北發表部新作!11月27日晚上播放電影之外,他們還會參加寶藏嚴11月27日至28日的 open studio,我們想歡迎大家過來遊牧影展的工作室好好認識。

Coan “Buddy” Nichols and Rick Charnoski met in New York in 1998 through skateboarding and shared an interest in super 8 film. They were the kind of guys who would drive halfway across America to skate a ramp in a backyard in Texas, a skate park in Oregon, or some empty swimming pools in California. They made films about all these things with a beautiful and grainy aesthetic of film, one so powerful Gus van Sant used some of their footage for his film Paranoid Park. Rick and Buddy have been making skate films for more than 10 years now, and also TV commercials, fashion films, music videos, short movies and documentaries. Their biggest so far is Deathbowl to Downtown (2008), a history of skateboarding in New York.

For the open studio at Treasure Hill Artist Village on Nov. 27-28 (Sat-Sun), Rick and Buddy will install some of their earlier films inside their studio. Anyone is welcome to come hang out with them.


Blood Shed
2009/ US/ 24min/ En/Ch

很多年前,美國最早最有名的滑板雜誌 《Thrasher》登上一篇文章,是描述一群年輕人,他們為了玩滑板而侵入陌生人的後院,可是不知道那家裡面住著崇拜撒旦的一群邪教徒。在這部短的劇情片中,大家可以猜後續是甚麼。。。

This short horror film is based on an old article in the first great American skateboard magazine, Thrasher. The article was about a bunch of kids who went to skate a pool at a house inhabited by a satanic cult. Guess what happens next?

《紐約滑板客大事記》Deathbowl to Downtown
2008/ US/ 86min/ En/Ch
Rick 跟 Buddy 一直說這部紀錄片“不應該視為紐約市滑板場景的正式歷史”,不過到現在都沒有更好的版本。為了拍這部,他們花了三年,訪問跟這個歷史有關的超過一百位,也整理好了數千老照片與數百個小時的老 VHS 錄影帶。在這個過程中,導演們一直遇上某一些故事,這部紀錄片就是收集這些故事的結果。透過敘述者 Chloe Sevigny (《Dogville》,《The Brown Bunny》,《Kids》) 的旁白,我們也看見滑板文化是如何從加州的衝浪文化的一個來源而登上陸地,後來傳染到美國各地郊區,終於在80年代的紐約經過一個很關鍵的變化,變成目前還流行的“街頭滑板”模式。

Rick and Buddy say this movie is “not meant to be viewed as the THE HISTORY of skateboarding in New York City,” but it is certainly the best one so far. They spent three years interviewing over 100 people from every generation of the NY skate scene and went through thousands of archival photos and hundreds of hours of footage. Throughout this process the same stories came up over and over. This film, narrated by Chloe Sevigny, is a collection of those stories. It’s also the tale of how skateboarding came out of the ocean in California, then spread to the suburbs all across America, and then in the 1980s underwent an important transformation in New York City, where the urban landscape finally took on a close association with skateboarding and “street skating” was born.

腳踏車電影院:第一周 《Everywhere Now》

**免費/戶外的放映
FREE OUTDOOR SCREENING

**不管天氣,活動會正常進行,還要烤肉!
The weather is fine. Screening will take place as scheduled.

各位朋友你好!

有人記得寶藏巖嗎?是台北市邊緣的一個很好晚的地方,4年前藝術類型的活動很多,為了整修已關了三年多,10月2日重新開幕。新的經營單位是台北國際藝術村,他們早就拜託遊牧影展讓人家知道這個好事情,邀請我們來播放電影,所以我們想起了《腳踏車電影院》這個概念,可以讓人家在戶外欣賞免費的電影,季節也剛好是秋天,傍晚通常很舒服,很適合鋪一塊布在草地上,喝自己帶來的葡萄酒,欣賞好片!

為了配合寶藏巖的開幕,遊牧影展的《腳踏車電影院》10月3日進行第一場放映,後來從10月23日至11月28日幾乎每個週末都有一場 (我們會在本網站宣佈細節)

Hey folks,

After four years of renovation, a Taipei arts district called Treasure Hill is reopening. Urban Nomad has been invited to screen films, FOR FREE! and outdoors. The first will be on Oct. 3 and will coincide with Treasure Hill's reopening weekend. After that, we'll show movies pretty much every weekend from Oct. 23 to Nov. 28 (details forthcoming on this site). The screening series is called DRIVE-IN MOVIES. Hope to see you there this Sunday!



FILM/影片:《Everywhere Now》
Bill Harvey/ 2008/ US/ 98min/ 英/中 (En/Ch)
** 反映後導演座談 film followed by director talk

比爾哈維的«沙拉油帶你環遊»中共通的議題不只振奮人心但也揪人心弦。導演比爾於2008年將自有1981年產的柴油賓士改裝為使用沙拉油的環保汽車,並開啟一段將近八千英里的長途旅程。 比爾說:「想像一下......連鎖速食店將會變成加油站。」equal parts comedy/tragedy立即拆解他的計畫,將電影的焦點由他的車轉移至他的人。超低氣溫、艱難道路和引擎無情地故障,讓這部紀錄片更像在懺悔自白。當他咒和罵罵按
當編咒罵和喇叭時,

Billy Harvey’s “Everywhere Now” is as much inspiring and heart wrenching, as it is universally relatable. It depicts an almost 8000 mile odyssey Billy undertook in the winter of 2008 after converting his 1981 Mercedes diesel to run on waste vegetable oil. “Think of it…Fast food chains could be the gas stations of the future” Harvey exclaims. Equal parts comedy/tragedy, the almost immediate unraveling of his plan quickly shifts the focus of this movie from his car to his character. Freezing temperatures, impossible drives, and the relentless malfunctioning of his engine slant the movie away from “documentary” and more toward “confessional”. It is here, as he honks and sputters his way across America that his insights and indomitable spirit expose the true heart of this movie...him. What we recognize of him in ourselves is what makes this story so moving. “Everywhere Now” may be a touchstone for us all, giving pause to question and almost surely encouraging one to just keep going.

The film is Diplo's "Favela on Blast," and the party features The Blue Truckers are back at Brickyard for another Reggae filled soiree, to be followed by a bangin' dance floor led by none other than Marcus Aurelius...

《FAVELA ON BLAST》
Wesley Pentz (aka DIPLO) / 2008 / USA/Brazil美國/巴西 / 80min / En/Ch 英/中

位於巴西里約熱內盧的貧民窟深處,圍繞著八零年代美國節奏舞曲和傳統巴西森巴音樂的派對,正在悄悄舉行著。本片跟隨著國際知名DJ Wesley Pentz(或稱 Diplo),冒險深入龍蛇雜處之處,探究音樂和舞蹈現象。Pentz是發現發現並推揚 “baile funk”(里約放克)音樂的功臣,並透過CD的發行在歐美各地推廣。這樣的音樂起源於暴力又貧困的環境,卻使的它更為裸露,存粹並直刺人心。這部紀錄片試著以一個故事架構來探討情、愛、貧窮與自尊,並用里約熱內盧這些最被邊緣化的人物來作詮釋。當然還有英雄反派兩立的情結,以及那遏制不住的跳舞癮!

高雄唯一官方播映!門票只要一百塊.如果有晚餐訂位就可以免費入場!
結束之後還有發財車樂團跟Marcus的續攤派對唷!!!

就在城市游牧影展之後,想必大家也被激起了無限的跳舞癮...發財車樂團的雷鬼音樂還有Marcus於是要讓大家繼續搖擺.

The Lost Cause
失落的動機

France | 2010 | 12mins

以超八釐米軟片及HD數位拍攝製作,Guillaume Mazloum 的短片「失落的動機」關注於人在反叛及暴動中尋求意義的生命經驗。主角身處於反烏托邦的景況,失去一切、感到絕望。存在著的沮喪感來自人類的自由及責任,因為意義無法被定義,而是應該被實踐。主角在自我責任的隱喻中掙扎,思考自我的存在性與生命的意義。我們到底應該發起怎樣的革命?還是它僅止於本片的標題,是一個「失落的動機」?

Shot in Super 8mm film and HD digital, Guillaume Mazloum’s [The Lost Cause] hinges on the human experience search for meaning amid a rebellious uprising. A complete loss or absence of hope is discerned by the protagonist through a dystopian tableau. This existential despair marks the consequences that come with human freedom and responsibility because meaning cannot be prescribed but must be realized. The protagonist grapples with the implications of self-responsibility over who we are and what our lives mean. Whatrevolt should we lead? Or is it merely a ‘lost cause’ as the title suggests?

Spektr
史派克

France | 2005 | 6mins

恐怖事物的化身—邪靈,貫穿了這部實驗影片,迴盪著令人不舒服的恐懼與危險感。利用人類意識的邊緣找到的斷簡殘篇,以及晦澀藝術作品的片段,Spektr 結合了拼貼、雕塑及攝影,延伸了動態影像的傳統語彙。片中的視覺手法讓觀眾感知到身處鬼魅知域的恐懼,以及將至的毀滅之境。

Something widely feared as possible unpleasant danger echoes in this experimental video
through incorporeal spirits; an apparition signaling some source of terror. Using found footage from the fringes of popular consciousness and artworks of obscure scrap materials, Spektr extends beyond the traditional language of the moving image by the integration of collage, sculpture and photography. The visual tactic in this film allows us to sensate the haunting predicament of what is yet to come--total destruction.

Flow


Taiwan | 2010 | 5’20”

【流】表現了時間的流動,描摹當人們迷失於時空中所產生的困惑混亂,以及其中倏忽即逝的心理回音。該實驗影片以觸發幽閉恐懼及焦慮的方式來述說失去控制的昏眩不安。朦朧彷彿催眠式的視覺捕捉與組合,交織以扭曲的影像,【流】嘗試要捕捉生命中飄渺幽微 的變化,卻也同時絕望地蔓生滋長著感懷,對於一年裡不停運行的季節──隨著流動的呼吸自然蒸散。

A representation of the flux of time, 流, which means “flow,” draws on the notions of the temporal and the psychological echoes of confusion when one experiences a loss of space and time. Evoking fears of claustrophobia and anxiety, this experimental video addresses the qualms of losing control. Shot and composed through hazy and trance-like visuals intertwined with distorted and stitched photographic imagery, 流 seeks to capture the subtle nuances and erratic moments in life while hopelessly trailing the fainting nostalgia of seasons that shift continuously throughout the year--exhaled by nature, one breath, or flow, at a time.

Shōwa Incident
昭和事變

Taiwan | 2010 | 09’06”

《昭和事變》由照片與底片、超八、DV、數位相機、手機等各式媒材組成。在原始材質上,著重在對於底片特性的運用與數位檔案間的翻轉,在拍攝上採取放任態度令意外自然產生。比如說一台電池失效的相機其底片過度曝光,經由數位調整反差之後產生歧異的顏色質感;而在超八的底片特性上,利用人工手沖的方式,改變手沖的溫度、時間,去製造底片的"質變";最後利用數位的翻轉製作,使用掃描、翻拍、數位剪輯下的重新排列(速率、景框、格放等),去為各種媒材進行統整結合的工作。

Shōwa Incident is edited and combined by different mediums, such as photos, films, images taken from super8, DV, digital camera and cell phone. The adaption of mediums
puts emphasis on the characteristic of film and the subversive results of re-editing the digital data. To create the random effects, the artist shot the film casually. For example, by adjusting digital contrast of the over-exposed film done by a battery malfunctioned camera will generate an unusual color texture. With the nature of a super8 film, the artist uses handmade method, changes the temperature and times taken to make the qualitative change of the film. Lastly, she uses the technical skills of scanning, re-shoot, digital editing and other digital conversions to make new arrangements, also the integration of different media.

4 Works:
〈Sirius, Bright Star of the Celestial Wolf〉,〈Pound of Flesh〉,〈Ornamental Loop〉,〈Tabloid Phoenix〉

4個作品:《天狼星》,《成堆生肉》,《裝飾的環》,《鳳凰畫報》

U.S. | 2009 | total: about 5min

Chris Ritson 以剪貼多種被遺棄的肢體印刷影像作為創作媒材,重新組合出動物或是抽象的形體,來檢視混合了神話與怪誕的,關於身體、形態學和文化的議題。物體一開始以變態的人類形象出現,Ritson以精密雕刻般的學院派技巧,巧妙地將原本無趣的物體變形為超脫定義之外的複雜組成。思考自然界中事物的轉變過程,以及我們是如何了解箇中奧妙,Ritson使用水晶,一種傳統被使用在科學領域裡的物質,創造出彷彿外星球的風景,並在整部片中引領以人聲旁白。就在物質與物質之間的關聯逐漸向我們顯現的同時,關於人工或自然的內在本質,我們對於人類感知自然的全是都是無效的,反倒接近於煉金術秘方或神祕占卜。

Examining issues relating to the body, morphology and culture infused with the mysterious and grotesque, Chris Ritson’s clipped images of the body from various discarded print media is reconfigured into animals or abstract shapes. What at first appears as perversions of the human form, Ritson’s detailed sculptural and collage techniques transmogrifies the formerly banal into complex formations that escape definition.

Contemplating the transformative processes in nature and the ways in which we come to understand them, Ritson uses crystals, a medium traditionally associated with science, to create an extraterrestrial-like landscape while initiating temporal narratives through video. As the relationship between the materials used begin to unfold before us, whether intrinsic to nature or artificial, our interpretation of how we perceive nature is negated and becomes analogous to alchemical secrecy or mystic divinations.

Regeneration Project III-Popeggs
再生計畫III─爆蛋花

U.S. | 2009 | 5’30“

一顆顆雪白的雞蛋被逐一置入廢棄的微波爐中,堆疊成小山。在微波爐清脆的一個警示音後,蛋汁四溢橫流,不復完整。這件簡單的行為錄像作品似乎暗喻著;人類的過度人口繁衍,終將在一瞬間,觸發災難。

The snow-white eggs are placed one by one in a deserted microwave, piling up like a ill. In the wake of a bright beeping sound of the microwave, the egg liquid spurts everywhere, ended up recognizable shape. The simple documentary video seems to imply that with the overpopulation of human beings, the disaster is about to be triggered.



After coming to the US, I still keep being killed by...
來到美國後,我還是一直被......殺

這件作品是由兩部影片所組成的系列行為錄像作品的其中一件,拍攝於美國巴爾的摩的多處公共空間。藝術家將印有中、英文「刑案現場禁止進入Crime Scene Do Not Cross」的黃色警戒線置於公共場合的電梯門上,自己則橫臥在地,仿如行案現場的受害者。藝術家以「偽刑案」的事件介入公共空間,創造出「意外」的效果。在路人目擊事件的驚詫中,自身也入鏡成為事件的一部分。

This video art work is one of a series of the project composed by two videos, shot respectively in the public places in Baltimore, MD, USA. The artists hang the police line that says “Crime Scene! Do Not Cross!” in front of the elevator, and he lied down in it as the victim. By creating “pseudo crime scene”, the artist involves himself astonished at the sight of the scene. They become part of the event as well.

The Walbrzych Notebook
瓦烏布日赫筆記

Poland, Germany | 2009 | 9mins

瓦烏布日赫是波蘭西南部人口最多的城市,自1935年開始發展煤礦產業。90年代時,這座城市的礦區因為社會與經濟的變動而崩潰,當地的居民因此經歷了隨之而來的解雇潮及從中產生的社會危機感。在今日瓦市有了復甦跡象的同時,本片敘述遷移進這座城市空間的人們面對現實處境的景況。偏離實際發生的歷史細節與經濟剖析,本片描繪了一幅人類學的風景,以視覺與聽覺交錯著自然的聲響、談話、及樂音,呈現出時空的氛圍。

A former mining site since 1535, Walbrzych is the most populated city in south-western Poland. During the 1990s, the town’s coal mines were shut down due to societal and economic changes. As a result, the people of Walbrzych experienced a social crisis from the accompanying dismissal of hundreds of workers. While the city today show signs of renewal, this film illustrates the people moving within the city’s spaces confronting their reality. Digressing from historical and economic analysis on the details that took place, the film paints an anthropological portrait; a representation of a place and time filtered through visuals and musical scores of natural sounds, speeches and instrumental music.

Reframing the Artist
重攝藝術家[藝術家與真實性]

China, Germany | 2010 | 90mins
藝術家無論在虛構還是傳記電影中總被描述得舉止脫俗,擁有轟轟烈烈的羅曼史、和酗酒自毀的失控行為。於是,我們很容易存有先入為主的概念,那就是創作總是含有某種迷思的指涉;例如所有藝術家都是利用某種媒材的畫家。這樣的刻板印象更確立了電影中對於視覺藝術家們的扭曲表述。

在本片中,大芬油畫村裡的複製畫家擷取出大約五十部不同的電影片段,例如《畫家波拉克》(2000)、《狂愛走一回》(1996)、《美麗壞女人》(1991)等,並拿來重新搬演。位於中國廣東深圳的大芬油畫村,是世界上最大的手繪油畫製造地區,供應全球大部分的西洋藝術市場。村裡的複製畫家變身為業餘演員,重新搬演多部關於藝術家的電影場景。大量製造大師油畫作品,伴隨使用對藝術家在電影中的刻板印象,交融成為一種新的敘述形式,創造出虛擬與紀實交疊的影片。我們如何看待這些們同時擁有視覺藝術家及中國複製畫家的「他者」身分?Pohle在本片中以這類文本上的變換,或者稱之為「重攝藝術家」的方式,對觀眾提出問題。

Artists are often portrayed having idiosyncratic behaviors, torrid love affairs, uncontrollable acts of inebriated self-destruction, or all of the aforementioned, whether in fictional or biopic films. Therefore, it is apparent that there is a preconceived notion where creative production signifies a mystification of one thing or another; such as all artists are painters by medium. These stereotypes reconfirm the failing representation of visual artists in film.

In this video, fragments from roughly fifty different films such as Pollock (2000), Surviving Picasso (1996), or La belle noiseuse (1991) are reenacted by copyist employed in the Oil Painting Village of Dafen. Situated in Shenzhen, China, Dafen is the world’s largest area of mass-produced handmade oil-on-canvas paintings supplying a global market sourced largely from Western art. The copyists in the Oil Painting Village take on different roles as amateur actors by re-enacting scenes from various films depicting artists. The mass production of master oil paintings coupled with the recurrent use of artist stereotypes in films intersects into forming a new narrative thus creating an overlap of fiction and documentary.

This shift of context, or “Reframing the Artist,” raises questions about how we
view the exotic “other” which is both the visual artist as well as the Chinese copyists.

Sascha Pohle (DE)

Sascha Pohle是一位目前居住於荷蘭的德國藝術家,對於流行文化的集體關係充滿興趣。熱中於看著他人以及自身重新演示,Pohle探究媒體中的影像是如何影響我們對於現實世界的觀點。經由參照採用電影及攝影的影像,藝術家利用自己的影片、繪畫及照片,重新解讀被挪用的文本。

Sascha Pohle is an Gernam artist living the Netherlands with an interest in our collective relation towards popular culture. Intrigued by seeing others re-enacting and himself as the re-enactor, Pohle investigates how images in the media interfere with our perspective of reality. By adapting elements from films and photographic imagery as references, the context of appropriation is reinterpreted through the artist’s own videos, drawings and prints.

歌手馬修 連恩是今天晚上的貴賓之一,關於這次的首映他表示:

“我很興奮能出席 "血色海灣"在台灣的首映會。

這是歷史上首次,我們的孩子,出生於一個面臨全球環境問題的世界。

去年,我成為了台灣兒子的父親。但我替他感到難過,因為他的台灣,正面臨了黯淡的未來。

在台灣,我兒子的天然棲息地逐漸消失,污染正摧毀他美麗的生態系,他的海洋也由於二氧化碳酸化,致使珊瑚礁無法生存。

但我們~現在的大人,還有時間做一些重要的選擇,其中一個是我們是否要拯救台灣白海豚免於滅絕。

感謝像"血色海灣"這樣的紀錄片,讓更多人察覺危機正朝海洋逼近。我希望在台灣放映這部電影,能讓我們決定孩子生長的台灣,和台灣白海豚,是如此珍貴而不能失去的。

我們的子孫應得我們的關心。”

--------------

Canadian singer-songwriter and long-time Taiwan resident Matthew Lien will be an honored guest at tonight's screening of THE COVE. Here's what he has to say about why he's coming:

“I am thrilled to attend the screening of "The Cove" in Taiwan.

For the first time in history, our children today are being born into the world with a global environmental crisis.

Last year, I became the father of a Taiwanese son. But I feel sad for him, because his Taiwan is facing a dismal future.

Here in Taiwan. my son's natural habitat is disappearing, pollution is destroying his beautiful ecosystems, and his ocean is becoming so acidic from CO2 that coral reefs can not survive.

But we -- the adults of today -- have time to make some important choices. One choice is whether we will save Taiwan's Pink Dolphins from extinction.

Thanks to documentaries like "The Cove", more people are becoming aware of the crisis facing our oceans. I hope showing this movie in Taiwan will help us decide that our children's Taiwan, and Taiwan Pink Dolhpins, are too precious to lose.

Our children deserve our concern.”

Matthew Lien

『藍色地球-我的海洋』2010城市游牧影展座談會



BLUE EARTH - OUR OCEAN: PANEL DISCUSSION
[for English, scroll down]

時間 TIME:Sat. 5/1 (六) 2-4pm
地點 PLACE:台北國際藝術村 (100台北市中正區北平東路7號)
Taipei Artist Village, 7 Beiping E. Rd, Taipei
報名:免費,請向台北藝術村報名 artistvillage@artistvillage.org
MAP / 地圖

與談人:資深環境紀錄工作者 柯金源
    動物社會研究會執行長 朱增宏
    台灣媽祖魚保育聯盟 甘宸宜

主持人:蠻野心足生態協會 王佳真

議題:

1. 海洋與台灣人

2. 從《血色海灣》看台灣鯨豚的處境

* 海生館的鯨豚從哪裡來?

保育人士努力救鯨豚,海生館卻鼓勵「獵捕」 : 全球海域每每發生鯨豚擱淺事件時,總有無數專業人士及義工投入救援,協助牠們回家與家人團聚,但同時卻有一群假學術之名的「商人、學者」,不斷迫害智慧極高、和人類同樣是哺乳動物的鯨豚,讓牠們遠離海洋家園,將牠們關進玻璃箱內,訓練牠們為人類進行「馬戲表演」。

* 台灣的極危險瀕臨絕種白海豚

媽祖魚(中華白海豚)是台灣海洋生態資源的重要指標,由於沿海環境日漸惡化,目前數量可能僅在60至90隻之間,已被國際自然保育聯盟IUCN列為瀕臨絕種的族群,每一隻白海豚的死亡都是台灣無可彌補的巨大損失。

3. 從《救鯊行動》看台灣的海鮮文化

* 魚翅文化背後的殘忍事實

世界自然保育聯盟(IUCN)有關鯊魚族群量的研究指出,現有111種鯊魚的生存已出現危機,如果人類持續過度捕撈漁業資源,2048年以後,人類將只剩水母可以食用。
魚翅係指鯊魚之背鰭、捕獲的鯊魚在割下魚鰭後,會將較無價值的魚身丟回海中,讓牠們在海裡慢慢流血、痛苦死亡,民眾根本無法確定所食用的魚翅,是屬於「全魚利用」還是以「活割魚鰭」方式取得...

* 最血腥的健康食品

台灣各大連鎖藥妝店及購物頻道大量行銷販售的海豹、海狗油和海狗鞭,全部來自被殘忍屠殺的野生小海豹。根據統計,2003~2009年間,台灣從加拿大輸入海洋哺乳類油脂(即海豹油)為431,364公斤,名列全球第4大、亞洲第3大;保守估計,台灣消費者近七年來等於間接屠殺了12萬隻美麗而無辜的海豹、海狗!

4. 保護我的海洋,如何行動?

* 動物社會研究會近期行動宣傳
* 媽祖魚保育聯盟近期行動宣傳



BLUE EARTH - OUR OCEAN: PANEL DISCUSSION

ADMISSION: Free
LANGUAGE: Chinese
REGISTER TO ATTEND: artistvillage@artistvillage.org

PANELISTS:
Ke Jin-yuan, nature photographer and filmmaker
Zhu Ceng-hong, EAST (Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan)
Gan Zhen-yi, Matsu's Fish Conservation Union

MODERATOR:
Janis Wang, Wild at Heart Legal Defense Association

ISSUES

1. Taiwanese and the ocean

2. 《THE COVE》and the predicament of dolphins in Taiwan.

* Where does the National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium get its dolphins?

While conservations work to protect dolphins and whales, the National Aquarium promotes dolphin roundups. Dolphin roundups like that documented in THE COVE are no doubt senselessly destructive, but they can continue because ocean parks all over the world continue to purchase dolphins from them. Also, what are the ethical issues involved in keeping dolphins in small tanks and forcing them to live out their lives performing circus tricks?

* Taiwan's critically endangered dolphins

The Indo-European humpback dolphin, locally known as "Matsu's fish," is an important indicator of the health of coastal ecosystems. At present, there may be as few as 60-90 of these dolphins remaining, and they have been listed as "critically endangered" by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). What can be done to save this species from extinction?

3. 《SHARKWATER》and Local Seafood Culture

* The dark side of shark's fin soup

Research by the IUCN on shark populations indicates that 111 species of sharks can now be considered "endangered." It has been said that if current rates of overfishing continue, by 2048, the only think left in the ocean to catch will be jellyfish. The problem with shark finning, is that while shark's fins are highly valuable, their meat is often considered worthless. So sharks are caught, de-finned and tossed back into the sea, thereby destroying a predator at the top of the ocean food chain and ruining ecosystems on which we all depend.

* Environmentally Unfriendly Health Food

Seal oil is available in nearly every pharmacy in Taiwan as well as numerous mass market retailers, and all of it comes from hideous seal slaughters. Between 2003 and 2009, Taiwan has imported 431,364 kilos of seal oil (mainly in caplet form), the 4th largest total in the world! During this seven year period, Taiwanese are estimated to be responsible for the deaths of 120,000 seals.

4. Protecting the Ocean: What can I do?

Representatives from EAST and Matsu's Fish Conservation Union will report on recent activities by their organizations and how people can make a difference either in their everyday lives or participate in conservation activities.

《牛糞傳奇》BULLSHIT

--> 購票 |BUY TICKET

跨國農企業到底有什麼問題?不僅讓糧價變得不穩,還掠取印度古老小麥品種,以生物剽竊、基因改造技術,讓種子也有了專利,迫使10多萬小農舉債而自殺!

紀錄片《牛糞傳奇》以印度知名的生態女性主義運動者、1993年另類諾貝爾獎得主范達娜˙席娃博士(Vandana Shiva)為主角;紀錄她長年對抗如孟山都(Monsanto)等跨國企業,並成立「九種基金會」(Navdanya),證明社區的「種子銀行」可以讓小農免於跨國企業掌控種子,甚至可以培育種子的多樣性,發展出能因應全球暖化的好品種。

Her opponents call her “The Green Killer”. They gave her “The Bullshit Award” for sustaining poverty. Time magazine says she is a hero of our times, an icon for youngsters all over the world. Vandana Shiva is an Indian environmental activist and nuclear physicist, and in this film she ventures out from her organic farm to do battle with the likes of Coca Cola and Monsanto, a huge American agri-tech company that tries to patent an ancient Indian strain of wheat.

Tommy Yu is back with another of his offbeat odysseys, this one – THE PEN SPINNING - about a couple of school kids trying to figure out a few things about life. BEER BOTTLES is about a boy, a drunk dad and a guitar, and AIRHEAD is about – huh? wha?

《震撼主義》 THE SHOCK DOCTRINE
Matt Whitecross, Michael Winterbottom / UK/英國 / 2009 / 79min

資本主義是把利刃,刀鋒過處,無不鮮血直噴

如果你喜歡奧斯卡提名記錄片《絕望真相》,你更不可錯過這部由娜歐蜜‧克蘭Naomi Klein同名著作改編的紀錄片《極端資本教義派》。本紀錄片將帶著我們追蹤,美國政府如何操弄外交策略以圖利美國企業,從智利的皮諾切特政變到兩伊戰爭,極端資本教義派大刀過處,無處不是戰火孤魂;導彈、坦克夷平的是平民百姓對邪惡資本主義企業最後的心防和抵抗。作者克蘭筆下的「毀滅性資本主義」之惡行惡狀更在本紀錄片中盡顯無遺,必定會搖醒你那久被資本主義麻痺的良知。

This documentary is based on the book of the same name by Naomi Klein (No Logo), author, activist and noted critic of globalization. It outlines Klein’s concept of “disaster capitalism,” in which government use or even create disasters to give corporations greater power over normal citizens. Klein shows that the tactic of “shocking” populations into accepting extreme levels of privatization and corporate control is an active goal of American foreign policy. She traces this strategy’s disasterous results from Pinochet’s coup in Chile to the two Iraq wars and everything in between. If you liked The Corporation or An Inconvenient Truth, this is definitely a film for you.

許雅婷是一位住在芝加哥的台灣導演而她最新作品〈放心漫舞〉則在描述另一位與老年癡呆症搏鬥的年邁導演Chris隨著事件漸漸失去控制電影本身的架構也如同Chris的記憶力一樣變得愈來愈模糊也逐漸崩成碎片。〈少年心〉是一部出人意料,令人感動的故事,其他的影片則是奇幻的動畫及實驗短片。

Hsu Ya-ting is a Taiwanese filmmaker living in Chicago, and her latest short, MIND DANCE, depicts Chris, an aged filmmaker, struggling with the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. As reality slips out of his control, Chris’ memories become disorganized and the film itself literally breaks into fragments. MY HEART, MY SOUL surprised us as a touching and unexpectedly serious drama. The rest of the program consists of charming animations and video experiments.

《舞者紀事 : 許芳宜的紀錄》 DANCING DIARY
Tseng Blook, Lee Chien-chang 曾筱竹,李建常 / 2009 / TW / 78min / Ch/En
許芳宜是第一位受邀至紐約Baryshnikov藝術中心駐村的亞洲舞者而這支影片記錄著他在當時工作的狀態。此片不僅僅帶來令人屏息的舞蹈同時也帶來許芳宜在工作室排舞時對此藝術的最高精神,許芳宜著實是台灣藝文界最有才華的藝術家之一。這支紀錄片將會以不同版本撥映讓我們更加貼近她的世界。

Sheu Fang-yi was the first Asian artist ever invited for a residency at the Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York, and this film documents her working process there in creating a new performance. The filming not only shows some arrestingly beautiful dancing, it also shows Sheu and the choreographer Bulareyaung Pagarlava starting from the blank canvas of the practice studio to choreograph a work of the highest art. Sheu is truly one of Taiwan’s most stunning creative talents, and this documentary – shown here in a brand new version – is up to the task of displaying her somatic genius and bringing us into her world.

〈搶救烏山頭水庫〉在講一個驚人的真實事件: 一個垃圾掩埋場公司危害到台灣重要的水庫之一。〈希望〉除了有馬英九總統友情客串之外我們也會呈現當年被莫拉克颱風的大水及土石流沖毀的小學重建。〈Silence〉是一部告訴我們何為報章雜誌報導好處的冰島短片,〈誰在乎真實〉則是在反諷G8高峰會,接著〈熱舞天堂〉帶來一個競選期間無家可歸的流浪漢穿梭在台北接頭的故事。節目將會由幾支大自然動畫做開場。

LET’S FIGHT FOR WATER is about a startlingly real issue: a landfill that threatens to contaminate one of Taiwan’s main mountain reservoirs. HOPE, guest starring president Ma Ying-jeou, meanwhile documents the reconstruction of an elementary school following the floods and mudslides of Typhoon Morokot. SILENCE is an Icelandic short that tells us what newspaper reporting is good for, and WHO CARES ABOUT THE REAL spoofs the G8. HEAVENLY DANCE follows a homeless man through Taipei at election time, and the program begins with a couple animations, NATURE and UNDERSTATEMENT.

徹底否認《Total Denial》
Milena Kaneva / 保加利亞/Bulgaria / 美國/US / 2006 / 92min

在緬甸,加州聯合石油公司和法國道達爾石油公司為保護該公司的油管工程,僱用緬甸軍政府的軍隊,在油管區進行非人道行為:武力脅迫、施虐及強暴當地居民。緬甸人權民運人士卡索瓦Ka Hsaw Wa多次進出該地區,冒著生命危險,記錄下遭到政府加害的人民慘況和種族屠殺現場。他拍攝的影片間接促成美國史上第一起跨國控告人權侵害的訴訟案,這起官司纏訟將近十年後,卡索瓦以及他的族人們終於獲得平反。

This documentary investigates the human rights abuses associated with the construction of an oil pipeline in Burma funded by western oil companies, UNOCAL and TOTAL. It is also the story of the one-man mission of Burmese activist Ka Hsaw Wa, a former jungle warrior wanted by authorities both in Myanmar and Thailand. Ka risks his life in video-taped border crossings to document burned out villages and scenes of genocide, all funded by US oil companies and executed by the Myanmar’s junta government. His footage and reports result in a landmark court case in the US. It is the first time foreign nationals bring a class action lawsuit against US companies – and win!

〈揉〉是一部挺詭異的實驗動畫片,〈映〉挺像是一部改編自西班牙詩人Julio Cortazar作品的影片倘述孤寂酒精友誼及死亡,〈嘎轟!〉裡有蘋果,〈Greedy〉則有黑幫,〈Fuhrerbunker〉 似乎有希特勒。〈愛在森林邊境〉是一部關於二次大戰後,共產崛起期間,在馬來西亞的青春與愛情小品。

ROUE is experimental animation at its weirdest. THE REFLECTION is a sort of poem on loneliness, alcohol, friendship, death adopted from writing of Julio Cortazar. CAJON! has apples, GREEDY has gangsters, and FUHRERBUNKER has Hitler (sort of). CUL DE SAC FOREST is a wonderful period piece about youth and love in Malaysia just after World War II during communist uprisings.

《To Shoot an Elephant》
Alberto Arce, Mohammad Rujailah/西班牙/2009/113分鐘

近十年的這場巴勒斯坦居民和以色列士兵的衝突戰爭,仍然於加薩走廊持續進行著。

這部影片是數月前才由各國的激進份子發表的,他們試圖打破這場僵局,並企圖揭穿這些倚著和平口號,實為殘暴鎮壓的虛偽行動。在2008年12月與2009年一月份,以色列強制命令所有國外的救援組織和觀察員徹離加薩走廊,發動為期21天的「鑄鉛行動」轟炸。影片的製片者,也是轟炸中的倖存者,加入巴勒斯坦救護車的司機所組成的自願單位,他們參與以色列炸彈攻擊中那些危險、致命且不受人注目的人道救援任務。這是一個真實且正在進行的世界,一個讓製片者以及你我都無法容忍的世界。

The conflict in the Gaza Strip between Palestinian locals and the Israeli army has been going on for decades. This film was released only months ago by a group of international activists bent on finding a way through the impasse and holding up a mirror to atrocities committed in the name of “peace.” In December 2008 and January 2009, Israeli forces instructed all foreign aid organizations and observers to vacate Gaza for the 21-day bombardment of Operation Cast Lead. The filmmakers however remained, embedding themselves with a volunteer unit of Palestinian ambulance drivers, who go into the teeth of the Israel bombs and bullets on a deadly and thankless humanitarian mission. It is a situation, which the filmmakers find, is simply unacceptable.

Wesley Pentz/2008/美國/巴西/80分鐘

位於巴西里約熱內盧的貧民窟深處,圍繞著八零年代美國節奏舞曲和傳統巴西森巴音樂的派對,正在悄悄舉行著。

本 片跟隨著國際知名DJ Wesley Pentz(或稱 Diplo, 你們還記得嗎?),冒險深入龍蛇雜處之處,探究音樂和舞蹈現象。Pentz是發現發現並推揚 "baile funk"(里約放克)音樂的功臣,並透過CD的發行在歐美各地推廣。這樣的音樂起源於暴力又貧困的環境,卻使的它更為裸露,存粹並直刺人心。這部紀錄片 試著以一個故事架構來探討情、愛、貧窮與自尊,並用里約熱內盧這些最被邊緣化的人物來作詮釋。當然還有英雄反派兩立的情結,以及那遏制不住的跳舞癮!

Deep in the slums (favelas) of Rio de Janeiro, a unique party scene is being built around remixes of 80s American dance beats and local Brazilian samba music. The documentary follows internationally acclaimed DJ, Wesley Pentz (aka Diplo) as he ventures into gangland territory, exploring both a music and dance phenomena. Pentz is now credited with discovering the genre of “baile funk,” and popularizing it in the US and Europe through CD releases. Born of one of the most violent and poorest places on earth, the music is raw and personal. This documentary tells stories of sex, love, poverty, and pride amongst Rio's most marginalized people. It follows heroes and villains, and the irresistible urge to dance.

Psycho? Dream? Reality? It’s RUSSIAN SOUP. FENG is about a prostitute and a little boy, and COMPANY POLICY about bureaucracy and war – maybe somewhere in Europe. GUESS WHO I AM? is about Burmese hookers and gangsters.

取樣犯法了嗎? 一個由音樂家,製作人和製片所組成的卡司在這個記錄片中探討這議題,討論的範圍從放克界傳奇人物George Clinton到超脫樂團的製作人Steve Albini 到專利法律師。撇開眼前這嚴肅議題,這著實是部為音樂愛好著量身打造的紀錄片。片中參雜著Dj們播放著混音,混搭著影像,而這些剪輯過的片斷顯示出這些原創的音樂是如何的被取樣,剪接,再製,以符合新的音樂品味。最廣泛的應用實例就是James Brown的前鼓手Clyde Stubblefield在「Funky Drummer」中的獨奏,已經成為嘻哈史上最被常取樣的節奏。其他參與演出的的音樂人和音樂團體還有 DJ Qbert, 嘻哈樂團人民公敵<Public Enemy>,美國東岸嘻哈饒舌三人組De La Soul 和DJ Spooky (a.k.a. Paul D. Miller, a.k.a. That Subliminal Kid)…等等。

Is sampling a crime? In this documentary, the cast of musicians, producers and industry executives weighing in on the issue ranges from funk legend George Clinton to Nirvana’s producer Steve Albini to copyright lawyers. Despite the serious issue at hand, this is truly a doc for the music junkie. Scenes show DJs playing mixes and mashups, and these are dissected in split-screen montages to show how the original music is sampled, cut and refashioned to suit new tastes. One extensive thread is the case of Clyde Stubblefield, James Brown’s former drummer, whose drum solo on the tune “Funky Drummer” has become THE MOST SAMPLED beat in hip hop history. Other musicians and groups to appear include DJ Qbert, Public Enemy, De La Soul, Chibo Matto, Paul Miller aka DJ Spooky tha Subliminal Kid and many others.
