The 24th ifva Festival

第二十四屆 ifva 獨立短片及影像媒體節每個創作人皆有心魔，不斷的創作大概是其中一個跟心魔相處的上佳方法。本年 ifva 與一眾創作人繼續聯手，拒絕妥協，勇敢創作。電影大抵是現代人類的神話，媒體藝術展「CINEMA 2.0：雅各歷書」將建立一個如真似夢的國度，思考未來的神話究竟為何。同場展出今屆 ifva 比賽媒體藝術組的入圍作品，來自本地以及亞洲的創作人，以媒體藝術作載體，重新思考人類與世界及其環境之間的種種有機關係。 ifva 比賽動畫組來自本地及亞洲的作品，繼續以動畫挑戰影像極限。入圍短片亦各具獨特觀點，緊扣生活之餘亦放眼世界。今年開始，ifva 推出「追光路上」系列，每年聚焦一位對創作持之以恆的導演，以個人作品展演給予他們更大肯定。為系列打響頭炮的，正是今年為 ifva 創作宣傳片的黃飛鵬。台灣電影創作人楊力州，除了擔任比賽評審，亦會帶來他的作品《紅盒子》並親臨主持講座，及為本地藝術家進行指導。除了安坐戲院欣賞作品，觀眾更將可在星光下欣賞由張國榮及陳百強主演的《失業生》，與已故巨星一同面對夢想心魔。此外，賽馬會 ifva Everywhere 早前舉行「48 小時短片製作挑戰賽」，作品將在節期回歸；為香港少數族裔青年而設的影像教育計劃「影像無國界」的成果亦會在節期上映，分享多元聲音；至於「香港短片新里程」將本地短片帶到歐美揚威海外後，現在亦可讓本地觀眾一次過重溫。 There is a demon in each creative talent’s heart, and only through perseverance in creation that they can deal with it. This year ifva continues to present works of bravery from different talents. Cinema is perhaps the modern vehicle for myths. Media arts exhibition “CINEMA 2.0: Acrylic Dreams” creates a dream-like realm that explore, with different sensibilities and aesthetics, what myth is in the future. At the same venue, works by finalists of the Media Art Category of the ifva Awards are exhibited. These media art works re-examine the organic relationships between humans and their surrounding environment and even the entire universe. Entries of the Animation Category continue to push the boundaries of the particular genre. Short films, on the other hand, each demonstrates a unique perspective to see our daily life and rest of the world. The new “Filmorphosis” series aims to recognise professional filmmakers who are ready to shine but not getting the spotlight otherwise. The inaugural programme features ifva alumnus Wong Fei-pang who also created the trailer for this year’s ifva Festival. Yang Li-chou, Taiwan filmmaker who is among the jury this year, is bringing with him, besides his award-winning documentary, wisdom that he will share at an artist talk and mentoring sessions. Films may be enjoyed elsewhere other than the theatre, such as under the starry sky. All are welcome to join the open-air screening of On Trial, featuring the late megastars Leslie Cheung and Danny Chan. Besides, Works from “Jockey Club ifva Everywhere – 48 Hour Film Challenge” will be screened at the Festival. Also showcase of an ifva’s initiative, works by participants of “All About Us” that offers media education to ethnic minority youth are screened at the Festival. Short films that went to Europe and America under the “HONG KONG SHORT FILM: NEW ACTION EXPRESS” initiative will be returning to Hong Kong for local audience to enjoy all at once as well.

ifva，前名為「香港獨立短片及錄像比賽」，於 1995 年由香港藝術中心創辦，為香港及亞洲的獨立影像創作人提供一個凝聚、分享和推廣的平台，多年來奠定了亞洲影像力量先鋒的地位。年度項目包括以專業性見稱的 ifva 獨立短片及影像媒體比賽及每年三月舉行的 ifva 獨立短片及影像媒體節，ifva 亦舉辦一系列延伸節目，包括從學術角度出發的「CINEMA 2.0」媒體藝術展覽、捍衛多元文化的「影像無國界」、旨在普及影像藝術的「賽馬會 ifva Everywhere」，以及推廣影像教育的社區及學校巡迴放映等，涵蓋藝術以至普及層面，致力承傳影像文化及獨立創作精神。 ifva, formerly the Hong Kong Independent Short Film and Video Awards, was founded by the Hong Kong Arts Centre in 1995. Over the years, ifva has established itself as Asia’s pioneering force in short film, animation and media arts, by providing a unique and professional platform for Hong Kong and Asian creative talents to unite, exchange and promote their works. With the aims to promote short film and media arts and defend independent creative spirit, every year, in addition to the professionally renowned ifva Awards and ifva Festival, ifva also organises a series of extended programmes including the followings: “CINEMA 2.0” media arts exhibition examines different subject matters at the intersection of arts, culture, technology and society; “All About Us” celebrates diversity and the creative voices of young people from the ethnic minority backgrounds; “Jockey Club ifva Everywhere” makes film and media arts accessible to people from all walks of life; and Community and School Tour encourages students to experience and appreciate different media art forms. www.ifva.com

6/3 (Wed) / 6:30pm

為了尋找生命的起源與真諦，遠古人類創造了神話。諸神的故事，源於眾生亦反映眾生，說穿了神話其實是為了人類而設。由是觀之，電影大抵是現代人類的神話，因着人類思考生命而生，也引人尋探箇中奧秘。但當未來科學與科技已剝去生命之源的層層神秘外衣時，到底還需要怎樣的神話？《雅各歷書》通過四位藝術家的作品，建立一個如真似夢的國度，以另類的感性與美學，思考未來的神話究竟是甚麼——在這個未來裡，神話也許不止是為了人類而設，還有科學與科技帶來的機器、電腦、人工智能⋯⋯ Our ancestors created myths in quest of the origin and meaning of life, and stories of gods originates from and reflects that of human beings. Myths were created for men. Likewise, cinema is perhaps the modern vehicle for myths, explaining and inspiring our quest for where life comes from and what life means. But with science and technology ripping off the mysteries of life in future, what will myths become? Acrylic Dreams, with works by four artists, creates a dream-like realm that explore, with different sensibilities and aesthetics, what myth is in this future – a future in which myth are for humans as much as they are for other products of science and technology like machines, computers, AI, and so forth.

Oil (2014) Umbilical Digital (2018) ::vtol::（俄羅斯 Russia）

《Umbilical Digital》代替人類飼養日本電子寵物「他媽哥池」，以電腦演算法令五隻需要「照顧」的電子寵物能夠維持生命並處於良好狀況。《Oil》使用油壓機壓碎參觀者帶來的物品，物品被壓碎時的聲音將會被轉化並燒錄在光碟上，參觀者猶如以另一種形態將物品帶走。 Instead of human beings, Umbilical Digital, with its special algorithm, performs all the necessary manipulations to support “life” and “good spirit” of five Japanese Tamagotchi toys which are digital animals that needs to be nursed. Oil, with its hydraulic press, crushes practically any object that the visitor wants to destroy. The visitor will receive a disc with a processed sound composition made out of the sounds of the destruction of object, as if that object is transformed into another form of existence.

Lives in Japan (2018) 宇治野宗輝 UJINO（日本 Japan）

作品是一個六頻道的錄像裝置，當中的片段記錄了不同電器和一些改裝了的電子結他使用時的情況和聲響。藝術家更會在香港街頭收集各種物品，裝嵌成為一件全新的雕塑裝置。 The artwork displays a 6-channel video installation showing footages of various electrical home appliances, as well as remodelled electric guitars, filmed as they operate and produce sounds when switched on. The artist also creates a new sound sculptural installation, which he assembles daily items found from the streets in Hong Kong.

Something Like Me / About Seeing Things (2016) 谷口暁彥 Akihiko Taniguchi（日本 Japan）

這是在視覺媒介世代一篇關於「觀看」與「身份」的互動文章 / 詩歌。藝術家以三維掃描為自己造了兩個虛擬化身，他們身處一個三維的虛擬空間當中。觀眾可以代入其中一個化身，透過他的視點遊移在虛擬空間的同時，也會出現關於「觀看」的文字。 This is an interactive essay / poem about “seeing” and “identity” in the new visual media age. Two identical avatars of the artist himself made using a 3D scanner are placed in a 3D virtual environment. Visitors can navigate either one of them through visual projections of the scenery as seen from the respective avatar. The avatars move around progressing along several texts on the subject of “seeing”.

Everything (2017) Eye of the Dream (2018) David O’Reilly（愛爾蘭 Ireland）

《Everything》是一個互動體驗，由人工智能模擬大自然中各種系統，你可以代入畫面所見的所有物品，探索無邊宇宙中互有關連的物品，享受藝術家創造的另類世界觀。《Eye of the Dream》是源於《Everything》的創作，帶來置身其中的視聽體驗，刻劃宇宙由大爆炸前到當代世界的發展。當中的芭蕾舞由數學演算編舞，每一場都有別於之前的表演。 Everything is an interactive experience in which you can be everything you see. In this AI-driven simulation of the systems of nature, the player can explore a vast, interconnected universe of things without tasks to complete. It inspires the creation of Eye of the Dream, which is an absorbing audio-visual experience depicting the creation of the universe from moments before the Big Bang to our modern world. It is a ballet choreographed by math, with each show being different from the last.

The 24th ifva Awards Media Art Category Finalist Exhibition

Falling Flowers

HeartfeltSPAM

謝俊昇 Tse Chun-sing（香港 Hong Kong）

野上勝己 Katsuki Nogami（日本 Japan）

裝置將香港報章裁成花瓣，並讓它們從高處灑落。城市的種種開始變得荒謬，令我們無所適從，但又無法改變。我選擇從這種現實中尋找「樂趣」，將報章變成花朵，享受它們飄下的景象。細心觀看的話，花上的字仍記錄着新聞。

我請一位女性朋友以紙筆重寫垃圾電郵。這些由程式所編寫的訊息實在是太古怪了。今時今日很少見到手寫字，但假若你收到一封親手書寫在紙上的垃圾郵件，你會怎樣想？信件經過 google 翻譯數次之後，文字也被 bot 扭曲了。

The artwork turns Hong Kong newspapers into flowers and let them fall from above. Things in the city are getting ridiculous and we cannot even deal with them, but there is no way to make a change. I choose to find “fun” in such reality, by turning the news into flowers and enjoying them fall. Yet upon closer look, the flowers still record the news.

I asked a female friend to rewrite spam emails with pen and paper because of the strangeness of these funny messages created by bots. But what would you feel if you receive a spam mail handwritten on paper and sealed in an envelope? I also translated them to different languages a few times with Google to generate text distorted by bot.

Between Happening 卡娜 Carla Chan（香港 Hong Kong）

《Between Happening》是一件具有時間展延特性的動態裝置，由一幅有框的絲網和隱藏於框內的特製磁力機械組成。磁石的吸力令鐵粉在白紙上印上圖案，勾勒出一片風景。磁石令鐵粉流動，不斷建構和抹去一幅幅圖案，既展露了又掩藏着在時光中逐漸演變的風景。 Between Happening is a kinetic, time-based installation, consisting of a framed screenprint and a hidden custom-built magnetic mechanism. A magnet inside the frame moves the iron powder and print onto the paper, revealing the structures and outlines of a landscape. The movement induced by the magnet creates ever-changing patterns of erasing and constructing, revealing and concealing the landscape, which slowly evolves through time.

彼•此 That • This 胡鈞荃 Hu Ching-chuan（台灣 Taiwan）

作品將不同時間及地點掃描的環境，置入重新建構的空間座標中。談話聲來自緬甸移居來台的母親及移民至美國的阿姨所說的緬文日常對話，她們多年未見，在虛擬實境中游移於不同空間，「彼」與「此」雖近猶遠。 This artwork puts the scenes scanned at different times and in various places on reconstructed spatial coordinates. The talking voices are the daily conversations in Burmese between my mother and my aunt who migrated from Burma to Taiwan and the US respectively. They have not met for more than a decade, but now traverse different spaces in VR. The “that” and “this” are near to as much as they are far from each other.

何謙信 Ho Him-shun（香港 Hong Kong）

蕭偉恒 Siu Wai-hang（香港 Hong Kong）

四個電子螢幕展示着四幅香港九十年代流行文化的零碎回憶。作品從錯誤接駁舊式 CRT 電視造成的波形干擾中取得靈感，抖動的線條隨着錄像中聲音的節奏而出現，聽覺的回憶由是而化為一次視覺經驗。懷舊的畫面再次充斥電子螢幕。

空間被填滿；人群在熙攘。我們太匆忙，對周遭不再關心。獨特的狹縫掃瞄攝影將這種生活轉化成另類視覺詮譯。我們未必能在時間長河中將它看得清楚，只能瞥見扭曲的臉孔和無關痛癢的瑣事。我們最終可能又墮進另一種空虛之中。

Four separate digital screens show the fragmented memories of Hong Kong pop culture in the 1990s. Inspired by the glitch effect caused by misplacing the different connectors of old CRT TVs, the work features flickering lines that appear according to the rhythm of the sound in the videos, thus turning audio memories into a visual experience. The overflowing of nostalgia is once again represented on the screens.

Space is filled and people are bustling. We rush and get insensitive to the outer. A unique way of slitscan photography may convert this particular life into another visual explanation. However, we may not see it clearly in the infinite timeline, but only distorted faces and trivial matters. In the end, we may fall into another void again.

目擊 Witness

黃百亨 Wong Pak-hang（香港 Hong Kong）

馮淞淵 Fung Sung-yuen（香港 Hong Kong）

蔡宗勳 Tsai Tsung-hsun（台灣 Taiwan）

在我居住的地方，新建築不斷在山上落成，山下的舊樓則被拆卸；新居民湧入，舊居民被迫遷離。生命變幻莫測，無法預知好壞。然而在這裡生活的人萬日如常，我對他們的日常生活非常好奇，甚至想進入他們的生命。「現實生活」究竟包含了甚麼？

資訊爆炸的時代，無處不在的非線性媒體滲透了都市人的生活。一個電視矩陣裝置，循環播放着由數碼圖像拼貼成的 GIF，作品裡的視覺元素全是從互聯網下載，包括世界場景、幾何和象徵性圖像，拼湊成多元生成的現代話語實踐，上演着一個瘋狂世界的循環。

行車記錄器的畫面以人工及模型翻拍的方式，還原成一個正在等待路燈或說明等待某事件的行車畫面。行車的影像最常被採納為證據，具紀實及證明的意味，目的在於還原事件的當下。但我的概念是把目擊的狀態，放在一個不斷循環以及沒有任何事件發生的當下。

I live in a place where new constructions appear uphill and old buildings downhill are demolished, and newcomers move in while old dwellers are relocated. I find life fluid and full of changes that you never know if things are changing for better or worse. Yet for people who have been living here, there seem very few changes in their daily lives. I am so interested in their everyday life that I want to enter their lives. What does “real life” entail?

In this digital age of information explosion, ubiquitous non-linear media penetrates urban people's life experiences. Tomorrow and Tomorrow is a TV-matrix installation, looping animated GIFs and visual elements, such as scenes from around the world, geometric patterns and symbolic icons, to depict a mad mad world on TV. It creates a discursive practice of the multisensorial modern situation.

A driving scene of waiting for lights or events is being restored, by filming a man-made scene with models on a dashboard camera. Images on these cameras are often employed as evidence that aim to restore the course of events, implying a sense of documentation and proof. But my concept is to let the viewer to witness a loop in which nothing happens.

Eventually, Obsolete 梁望琛 Leung Mong-sum Joseph（香港 Hong Kong）

《Eventually, Obsolete》由七組攝影裝置作品組成，圍繞着一部於 2000 年製成的舊式 CRT 顯示器。 Eventually, Obsolete is a body of work consisting of seven individual pieces of photographs and photographic installation surrounding an old CRT monitor manufactured in the year of 2000.

這是關於一位畢業幾個月、沒有人生目標、不事生產、自覺平庸無法融入社會的女生，在十二元店兼職的故事。苦悶的生活，因為奇怪麻煩的同事們而百上加斤。倒楣的事接二連三，究竟她能否打開心中鬱結？

2014 年 10 月的一個夜晚，雨下個不停。大學宿舍內，幾個各有背景的年輕人，被分派到同一棟宿舍生活，共度這夜。聲援同學的行動一觸即發，靜止長鏡頭所捕捉的，是年輕人思變的躁動與不安。

某年平安夜，小孩在好奇心和寂寞驅使下，決定假扮父親，撥打報章廣告上的色情電話。

This story is about a recent graduate who has no goals in life, is unproductive and feels mediocre and cannot fit in the society. Working in a discount store, her boring life is burdened by strange and troublesome colleagues. As misfortunes pile up one after the other, will she ever open up her heart and find release?

One night in October, 2014, the rain kept falling. In an university residence hall, several young people from various backgrounds were assigned to the same room to spend the night together, as efforts to support student protesters were about to get under way. With steady long shots, this film captures the younger generation’s sense of restlessness and unease.

One Christmas Eve, a lonely and curious child decides to impersonate his father to dial the number of a phone sex line that he sees on a newspaper ad. As an unusual conversation takes place, the door opens and in comes the father, thus destroying the festive atmosphere.

年輕時痛失親兒，婆婆於兒子失蹤的時間內活着，形伴孤獨。年輕時犯錯入獄，流浪漢阿強活在不再熟悉的城市，迷失自我。當時間不再停留，空間亦將改變；邊緣人終會交織，相交輝映。

《星燦騎士》利用戲劇情節與訪問記錄，編成一宗在香港發生的搶劫事件。巴寶是位在港土生土長的南亞裔青年，透過觀察他面對事件的衝突與反思，影射港人對社會的無力。

An old woman has lost her son when she was young and now lives a lonely life. Keung, a homeless man, loses himself in a city he is no longer familiar with. When time no longer stops, space also changes. The lives of these people living on the margins becomes entangled and influence one another.

Using dramatic scenes and interviews, Be a Rider or a Fool recreates a robbery that takes place in Hong Kong. Bebo is a South Asian youth born and bred in Hong Kong. Through observing how he deals with the conflict and his reflections about this incident, this film reflects the sense of helplessness that Hong Kong people feel.

導演和舞者的一次即興練習，啟發自艾略特的詩作《第四個四重奏》：「耐心等待但不要思索，因為你還沒有思索的準備—— 這樣黑暗必將變得光明，靜止也將變成舞蹈。」

年輕就是恣意想像，既生得我逸群絕倫，何不盡情憤世嫉俗？教育之道、性別角色、道德倫常，世道統統與本我相乖，如之奈何？就讓思辯哲理無孔不入、抽絲剝繭，譜奏成一闋既瘋狂又睿智的影像狂想曲。

童年時經常去的荔枝園於 2 月 12 日被毀了。我的表兄弟和我站在光禿禿的山頂看着已倒下的樹，感到家鄉將面臨改變。 The litchi garden, which was often visited in childhood, was destroyed on February 12. My cousin and I stand on the top of an empty hill and look down at the fallen trees. I feel that my home is going to change.

Granny left us, but the Californian sunshine that once accompanied her has never departed.

This is a game Shing Lee played with the dancer who is his brother, Joseph Lee. “Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.” A quote from T.S. Eliot’s East Coker, Four Quartets inspired the creation of this film.

Revolt is youth. An ambitious teacher’s pet and a pair of quirky siblings challenge gender roles and traditional morals through seven exam questions. This wild and philosophising film leaves no stone unturned.

The 24th ifva Awards Youth Category Finalist Showcase 第二十四屆 ifva 比賽青少年組入圍作品放映

年少，卻未敢輕狂，大概是香港這一代年輕人的寫照。他們相信影像的力量，關注校園欺凌、虐待動物、功課壓力等連大人都束手無策的寫實課題，是自省，亦是一道接一道對世界的提問。 Young, but no longer innocent - a fair description of the upcoming generation. They believe in the power of moving images, to depict realistic issues of school bullying, animal abuse, academic pressures that even adults fail to solve. These self-reflective shorts are a collection of questions posed to the society from our dear youth.

作品充份展示香港學生惡名昭著的超強功課壓力，走廊線性地象徵主角在學校的一天流程，短片描繪每天衝着他而來的任務與挑戰，他必需在有限時間內，在課堂完結前冒死走向終點的大鐘。影片的視點帶有超現實和絕望感，清晰明確。 This work vividly demonstrates Hong Kong’s notoriously overworked students. With the corridor symbolising the timeline of a school day, the short film showcases tasks and challenges “thrown” at the protagonist as he runs for his life to the clock which displays the time when lessons end. Both surreal and dystopian, the perception of the film cannot be more perceptive.

止於唇齒，掩於歲月。這是所有人最初的憧憬和最終的遺憾。無論當初愛過哭過笑過恨過，到最後都只是錯過。物也非，人而也非。或許難以忘懷的，並不是當時的他，而是追隨着對方的自己。 Love that cannot be expressed is buried with time. This is the longing and their ultimate regret that everyone has experienced. No matter how much you have loved, cried, laughed and hated, in the end it is just missed opportunities. Amidst all the changes, it is perhaps the self who once chased after him that is unforgettable. Dear certain someone.
