Ennio Morricone — the legendary maestro, who composed music for more than 500 film and television productions, experimentally incorporated different musical genres, struck the world with his innovative soundworks, and wrote a new chapter of film scores. His scores not only embellished the films, but were much sought after independently as musical masterpieces. Giuseppe Tornatore, the director of Cinema Paradiso and a long-time collaborator of Morricone, tracks the musical journey of the eminent composer from his classical music training in the early days to his several Oscar nominations for best score. Renowned filmmakers and musicians, including Quentin Tarantino, Bernardo Bertolucci, Wong Kar Wai, John Williams and Clint Eastwood, express their gratitude towards the maestro.

《陽光燦爛的果園》導演卡拉西蒙生於農業家庭，如電影劇情一樣，家族幾代在加泰隆尼亞的小村莊種桃子。卡拉西蒙在田地裏渡過所有兒時聖誕與暑假，一家人對於這片土地上存活過和分享過的東西，都有深厚的連結和感情。《陽光燦爛的果園》是她的「尋根三部曲」的第二部曲，卻不僅只述說人成長回憶和大家庭群戲，而是從這片家族土地上出發，將目光投至在時代和環境的轉變影響下，家庭式務農的可持續性。正如卡拉西蒙所說，「抱着懷緬而不感傷的態度，希望向仍堅守傳統、作出最後抵抗的農民家庭致敬。」
將同樣的視野放回香港，本地農業的生存空間雖窄，但仍然有人在深耕細作。到底農民對土地的感情從何而來？現在的香港，有如斯大片土地可以給孩童肆意奔走嗎？傳統農業作為家庭式作業及世襲系統，如何與新式農業，甚至社區連結？百老匯電影中心有幸邀請到本地農夫Rita及小田出席映後分享會，與大家一起認識這片土地。

《聖誅》的導演兼編劇亞里亞巴斯，光是劇本就花了15年時間去構思。雖然是改編自真實發生的伊朗連環殺手案件，但亞里亞巴斯並不是想重現這件駭人的殺人案，而是想審視一個更宏大的觀點：仇女現象。希望能為伊朗甚至其他國家，立一面自省的鏡子，即使這面鏡誠實得可怕。
當然，電影未必能一下子改變世界，但總能引發思考。百老匯電影中心邀請到王栩羚（Lilian）出席1月2日的《聖誅》映後講座，從《聖誅》中的故事，連結至近日伊朗「頭巾革命」，反思性工作者、女性與人民權益，審視日常中難以察覺的「以義為名」的惡，亦會分享一些她旅訪伊朗的見聞。

講者簡介：有閪＋不吃動物的人類，關心世界不同的生命，追求公義，尤其關注性別、動物、政治等領域。相信知識、對話和感受，能接通不同生命，織成小小的社區網絡，在壞時代裡得以守住自己、燃亮他人。曾在國際和本地人權組織和非牟利組織工作，現為推廣性/別平等文化、關注性暴力文化的教育工作者，並為推動性別公義的非牟利組織FLUID的大使、以及談性空間Common6的顧問。

Sensitive 12-year-old Myung-eun (Moon Seung-a) is embarrassed of her working-class family and constantly lies to keep her true family situation a secret. When she writes, though, she is not constrained by reality. Pouring herself into essays, Myung-eun takes pride in constructing a different world of her own. However, the candid writings of a new student shake her sense of self, and prompt Myung-eun to better understand her family. Reminiscent of acclaimed coming-of-age Korean indies like The World of Us and House of Hummingbird, writer-director Lee Ji-eun’s understated debut feature excels in its perceptive depiction of the emotions and experiences of a child trying to find her place in the world.

Auntie is a middle-aged Singaporean woman whose life revolves around dancing classes in the park and bingeing Korean dramas. When her husband dies and her only son considers leaving the country for work, Auntie decides to travel to Korea on her first solo trip. After Auntie accidentally becomes stranded during the tour, a local security guard helps her find her way back, but their adventure is not without bumps along the way. Produced by Anthony Chen (Ilo Ilo, Wet Season), He Shuming’s directorial debut is a delightful and charming road movie about self-discovery and the power of the Korean wave.

The debut feature from director Sorayos Prapapan openly satirises Thailand’s education system and its authoritarian policies while also slyly referencing the country’s real-life “Bad Student” protest movement. Young math whiz Arnold seems very much the model student, enjoying an ideal high school life in all its cheery banality. Arnold’s ennui leads him to fall in with an exam cheating scheme, while greater student discontent bubbles to the surface around him — and eventually bursts. Showing a steady hand despite his “first feature” status, Sorayos adeptly balances an irreverent tone with urgent social concerns, and uses real protest footage to seamlessly lift his fictionalised satire into something significantly more.

Kim Quy Bui’s fascination with death informs the haunting Memoryland, and the director even faced her own mortality during the film’s post-production. Bui was diagnosed with lung cancer and unnervingly prepared for her own (thankfully unnecessary) burial while finishing the film. Separated by time and location, the three stories of Memoryland share themes of death and burial, following characters who die, leaving loved ones to contend with their departures. Sometimes the loved ones despair, leading to further death and sorrow. Ultimately, Bui’s stories and characters reveal themselves to be intricately linked by a web of traditions both followed and disobeyed, with change the only constant.

Huang Hsin-yao’s creative journey has been evolving over the years. Be it bluffing or meditative, his works always reveal his concern for people, the land, and a lucid sense of humour. It is our honour to have A-yao with us online after the screening of Seaman and A-li 88, where he will share his views on documentary filmmaking.

YOL is the rare film whose production may have been more dramatic than its story. Written while Kurdish director Yılmaz Güney was imprisoned by Turkey’s military junta, YOL was ultimately finished after Güney escaped prison and went into exile. Banned in Turkey until 1999 due to its depiction of Kurdish culture, this story of how five prisoners spent their week of leave from prison won the Palme d’Or at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival. The newly produced “full” version of the film restores the sixth story that was in Güney’s original script, finally realising the late filmmaker’s vision for this monumental piece of cinema.

Jan is a Turkish student studying in New York City. When his Kurdish grandmother goes to New York for medical treatment, she sings him a song named “Zer”. Still haunted by its melody after his grandmother’s death, Jan travels across Turkey in search of the song’s origins, only to uncover the painful truth behind the Dersim massacre in 1938 and its link to his heritage. Inspired by his own three-year search for the original version of the titular song, Kazim Öz shows the power of keeping collective memories alive with this visually sumptuous road movie.

A giant movie palace that became an endangered species in the age of the multiplex, the Scala cinema was the final single-screen cinema left standing in Bangkok. However, the cinema was demolished in 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic caused it to close down permanently. The daughter of a former employee, Ananta Thitanat drew on her familiarity and nostalgia for her childhood haunt in this quietly moving obituary, documenting the space itself in its last days. As a former employee says in resignation, “Times change,” but that is exactly why documents of vanished heritage like this film are more important than ever.

Through its well-developed system of seeding funds and its well-run (and very popular) festival, Cinemalaya has become the laboratory, greenhouse and market in which aspiring Philippine filmmakers learnt their trade in producing and presenting work for audiences both at home and overseas. Some titles, such as The Woman in the Septic Tank, became box-office hits, while others, such as Transit and John Denver Trending, were feted at prestigious festivals abroad. In this talk, Cinemalaya programmers look back on the evolution of the festival and its role in Philippine independent cinema.

Throughout the years, Kurdish cinema has long been represented by filmmakers based outside of their ancestral lands. But there is an increasingly visible and vibrant generation of filmmakers coming of age, with work that presents daily life portraits as well as diverse representations of the existing reality. In this talk, the artists behind the Voicing Voices project will discuss the potential of both moving and still images in making Kurdish voices heard, both at home and abroad.

緬甸內戰已七十餘年，戰火延綿至今，不穩的政局使這片土地生靈塗炭。獨立軍與軍政府間衝突頻生，緬甸仿成受詛咒之地。克欽族小兵曾是獨立軍，從懵懂無知的青年變成把殺戳當作兒戲般談笑的「惡人」，對著攝影機細數所犯下的惡行，不為人知的過去、迷失的當下和未知的將來。到底人性本善還是本惡？導演是緬甸孤軍後裔。到台灣後仍心繫故國，繼《血琥珀》後再深究緬甸社會問題，部份受訪者甚至是從小一起長大的朋友和家人，令電影呈現無比真實感。

The Bad Man is a documentary of the life story of a violent and bloodthirsty young man from Kachin, Myanmar, who casually discusses murdering people as if it were not his own story. The young protagonist was conscripted into the Kachin Independence Army as a child, transforming him from an innocent boy into a ruthless killing machine. Now the war’s over for him, his gun-toting past has come back to haunt him. With all his wounds and traumas, he is now considering which path to take for the future. Are people born good or bad? It’s a question director Lee Yong-chao, a descendant of a Myanmar-based family, attempts to respond to, as he offers a glimpse of a man whose cruel veneer conceals moments of gentleness and sensitivity.

In this talk, we invited two curators, from Europe and Asia who are dedicated to promote documentaries at the edge of turmoil, to start a conversation between Ukraine and Taiwan.

阿富汗是由男性掌控一切的國家，女性可謂毫無地位，每天提心吊膽地生活於父權陰影下。年輕少女Khatera自幼被父親以關愛之名強姦虐待，甚至因姦成孕。命運總對她過份嚴苛，希望反抗父親的暴行卻求助無門，她曾嘗試報警，然而父親很快便因證據不足釋放回家。上電視台向公眾曝光自身慘況後，收到的不是公眾聲援，而是親戚的追殺令，連至親的弟弟也埋怨自己因而找不到工作。眾叛親離下，她只好帶著兒女逃往遙遠的法國，盼望故國終有一天可迎來真正改變。

A Thousand Girls Like Me is an awe-inspiring documentary that tells the story of Khatera, a young Afghan woman seeking justice and protecting her children after experiencing years of sexual abuse by her father. Despite her many attempts to file charges, neither the Afghan police nor the legal system helped her. In 2014, she appeared on national television to publicly accuse her father, finally succeeding in bringing her case to court despite threats from male relatives and judges who labelled her a liar. Sahra Mosawi-Mani’s powerful documentary illustrates a young woman’s battle against cultural, familial, and legal pressures as she embarks on a mission to set a positive example for her daughter and other girls like her – something which has rendered nearly impossible by the Taliban’s takeover of the country last year.

在男性主導的雜亂新聞格局中，出現了印度唯一由女性經營的報紙。這群女記者全是「達利特人」，即種姓制度的最低層，穢不可觸的賤民。出身卑微卻不是障礙，反而成為她們追求真相的原動力。在首席記者Meera領導下，她們從紙本轉型到網絡新聞，與時並進。追究警方失職、為種姓制度受害者發聲及報導性暴力事件等，都是她們報導的重點。她們以手機作武器，用報導翻轉命運，呈現勇猛無懼的草根力量。首次執導長片的兩位導演，緊密捕捉記者們鮮為人知的幕後故事，為觀眾帶來一部鼓舞人心的紀錄片。

Speaking truth to power makes for just another day at the office for the fearless journalists of Khabar Lahariya, India’s only all-female news network and the subject of Rintu Thomas and Sushmit Ghosh’s inspiring documentary. The wife-and-husband filmmaking team shines a light on the Dalit (meaning “untouchable”) women of the Khabar Lahariya as they employ mobile phones and streaming platforms to challenge India’s stifling patriarchy and unjust caste system, by investigating rapes, murders, systemic corruption, and the rise of India’s far-right. This rousing work documents an ongoing, real-life battle for truth and justice, and the everyday wonder women who make it happen.

蒙古是個只有三百多萬人的小國度，可平均每天都會有一個人自殺。蒙古的文化不鼓勵放棄生命，認為和自殺的人來往會帶來不幸，尋死失敗的人往往會受歧視。然而，這卻無阻蒙古的自殺率連年上升。每位輕生者背後都有段不願提及的往事，又或只不過厭倦於重重複複的生活、庸庸碌碌的生涯和混混噩噩的每天。

生活艱難，有的人會選擇逃避，死去之人已然解脫，把回憶留在最美好的時光；而對於這些連逃避也失敗的人，命運更加殘酷：未來還有數十年在等待著他們。當凝視受訪者的眼睛時，你似直視他們的內心。

In Mongolia, one-third of the population lives in poverty. Is this one of the reasons why the suicide rate is so high? Survivors or relatives of those who committed suicide, tell us their stories, some of them prefer to remain anonymous because suicide is a taboo. The stories come from different regions of the country, but the reasons given for this desperate act are similar: despair, loneliness, alcoholism, and the harshness of life. The example of a couple who once set up their Mongolian yurt within the walls of an abandoned prison seems to symbolize the state of the nation. On a frozen dump, they dig for scrap metal – if they sell it, they will have just enough money to buy food for a few days. It is an existence far removed from the clichés of traditional nomadic life.

俄烏戰火在2014年燃點後不久，烏克蘭東部城市盧甘斯克隨即被親俄勢力佔領，無數居民不能也不願離開，漸漸成為被遺忘的一群。導演希望透過電影，令他們得到注視。任教烏克蘭語的女老師滯留當地，為了保住教席被迫受訓轉教俄語。一天，她在學校目睹一個少年因高掛烏克蘭國旗而被追捕，也許因為珍惜年輕的叛逆靈魂，她不惜冒險救下他，少年就此闖進她生命。兩人因共通的憤怒和無力感而連結，在不自由的國度裡相濡以沬。女主角正是來自被侵佔的盧甘斯克，深明家園被奪，前路茫茫之痛，憑本片拿下烏克蘭影后殊榮。

Set in Luhansk, an eastern Ukrainian city occupied by Russia-backed separatists in 2014, Daria Onyshchenko’s political drama sheds light on the aftermath of the war in Ukraine as well as the forgotten people who cannot flee the territory. Nina, a Ukrainian-language teacher who is forced to stay in Luhansk and retrain for teaching Russian, crosses paths with Andrii, a teenage orphan and decides to save him after witnessing him being arrested for raising the Ukrainian flag at school. Seeing through the suppressed anger and sense of hopelessness in each other, the two stranded souls form an unlikely bond during the turbulent time of the city’s occupation by pro-Russian separatists.

No matter how Radu Jude changes his shooting style, he never changes his executive producer. Ada Solomon has been with him since his first feature film in 2006 and she is now on the cusp of the Romanian New Wave. Ada not only has cooperated with many directors such as Adrian Sitaru, and Calin Peter Nezer, but also the executive producer of “Toni Erdmann”. In this talk, she will share her valuable experience of working with these new directors and how to stand out on the local and international stage.

While research on early colour films had been overlooked by major archival bodies until the mid 1990s, in the recent decade restoration organisations in Europe began restoring and reconstructing films stocks with emphasis on recovering the colours on film, and film festivals like Il Cinema Ritrovato and the Pordenone Silent Film Festival have also been founded to present and promote these films. Among the organisations dedicated to presenting these restored classics to modern-day audience is the Nederlands Filmmuseum (now EYE Filmmuseum), with its 1995 workshop ‘Colours in Silent Film’. Speaker Dr. Fossati, a participating researcher of this workshop, has been studying early colour films over the last 20 years. In this talk she discusses the history and conservation of early colour films, and the changes in the EYE Filmmuseum’s practices in the digital age.

The reunion between mother and daughter will quickly turn to confrontation: truths will be told, accounts settled, loves and resentments confessed.

俗語有話，無仇不成父子，無恩怨不成母女。由兩大國寶級影后嘉芙蓮丹露、茱麗葉庇洛仙飾演的這一對母女，又將有著如何的恩怨情仇呢？一向著墨於家庭關係的是枝裕和導演，又是如何修補兩代藩籬？
今個星期日由資深影評人登徒在映後分享會中逐一討論！

【映後分享會】12月15日 下午5時，3:10pm場次完場後在百老匯電影中心一樓大堂舉行

Legend of the Mountain (Restored)

書生何雲青（石雋）受海印寺法圓上人之託，抄寫經書《大手印》以超度亡靈。因為需要清幽靜心的環境，來到邊城工作，抵目的地後獲熱心鄰居王媽媽（徐彩虹）設宴洗塵，一夜宿醉醒來，竟發現與其女兒樂娘（徐楓）同處房中，雲青被迫娶她為妻。原來王氏母女乃陰間厲鬼，旨在偷取雲青抄完的經書；當地番僧試圖阻撓，但不敵樂娘妖術，於是與道長聯手。雲青結識另一對鬼母女莊夫人及依雲（張艾嘉），從此夾陷在僧、道與鬼魂的角力鬥法、人鬼之間的愛戀迷情、厲鬼與善鬼之間的忌妒爭執…

《山中傳奇》的故事改編自《宋人話本之西山一窟鬼》，是胡金銓在韓國同期拍攝的兩部影片之一（另一部為《空山靈雨》），但當年票房和評論均一敗塗地，胡金銓被逼把184分鐘的公映版本刪剪至100分鐘重新發行，應是他創作生涯上的最大挫折。40年後重新檢視，卻不難發現，影片其實是胡金銓最冒險、最大膽奔放的嘗試：潘朵拉盒子式的結構、音樂與映像的撞擊與結合、露骨的情慾描寫、徐楓從俠女到妖女的變身演出、對中國傳統儒士的嘲諷、對女性心理的尖銳刻畫、對愛情與利益主義的探討等等，都是在《山》片之前未出現過的題旨或關注。超過3小時的宏闊篇幅不住變化多端，大起大收，可謂美不勝收。（舒琪）

《追蹤胡金銓的足跡》

日期：2019年12月7日（六）

時間：17:05 至 19:00

地點：百老匯電影中心一樓大堂（九龍油麻地眾坊街3號駿發花園）

主講：林靖傑

語言：國語主講

「台灣國家電影中心」六年前開始陸續修復胡金銓的多部作品，那時候已經構思要同時拍攝一部關於胡導演的長篇紀錄片，知道三年前終於把計劃落實，鎖定由林靖傑擔任導演。畢業於輔仁大學大眾傳播學系、曾任《影響》雜誌編輯、也曾獲《聯合文學》、《時報》文學獎首獎榮譽的林靖傑，電影作品有《最遙遠的距離》（2007，獲第九屆台北電影節「評審團特別獎」及威尼斯影展「國際影評人周的最佳影片」）及。其《尋找背海的人：王文興》（《他們在島嶼寫作》系列紀錄片）。這部首齣胡金銓長篇紀錄片目前正在最後剪接階段。林靖傑將帶同影片的若干片段，和我們分享他在拍攝過程中對胡導演的人生與作品的第一身體驗與感受。

Dragon Inn

Based on Ming-dynasty history of emperor being dethroned and the political machinations of powerful eunuchs, Dragon Inn tells the story of the loyal and upright Minister Yu being accused and killed by the evil and powerful eunuch Cao (Bai Ying). Yu’s remaining children are sentenced to exile to the border Dragon Gate. After several assassins were sent to kill Yu’s children on their way but did not succeed, Cao sends killers of East Chamber, the espionage agency. A righteous cadre of swordsman comes to Dragon Inn to rescue Yu’s children. A tense battle of wits and swords unfold as the contending parties, each hiding their true intentions, vie to complete their missions first. With masterfully crafted fight sequences both inside and outside the inn, this sprawling action epic is a master-class of pacing, tension, and choreography, as aptly foreshadowed by the Dagger Group Prelude featured at the start of the film.
