台北之晨 A Morning in Taipei

2018 台灣國際紀錄片影展 Taiwan International Documentary Festival

2020 台北電影節 Taipei FF

當時甫從義大利學成歸返臺灣的知名導演白景瑞初試啼聲之作,其不以對白推進故事,而是藉由「仿紀錄片」手法,以動作及畫面構築一幅臺北眾生相。於是我們可以看到,黑夜中霓虹光漸漸被晨光點點吞下,吐出城市黎明,日光打開鏡頭視野,行跡穿過 1960 年代臺北的公園、教堂、市集、紡織廠、電信局等地,順著鐵馬送報生拋擲出的日報,進入白領小家庭的早晨時光。2019 年音樂人林強更為這部無聲作品譜上音符,隨著電子節奏與各種實驗聲響律動,現代精神融合當年臺北景觀,跨媒介對話演繹一段鮮活生動的臺北印象。


This work by renowned director PAI Ching-Jui, created shortly after his return to Taiwan from studies in Italy, marked his directorial debut. Instead of using dialogue to drive the narrative, Pai adopts a "pseudo-documentary" approach, using action and imagery to construct a tapestry of Taipei’s everyday life. We see neon lights in the night gradually overtaken by the first rays of dawn, giving birth to the city’s morning. As sunlight opens the frame’s field of vision, the camera traces paths through scenes of 1960s Taipei, such as parks, churches, markets, textile factories, and the telecommunications office, guided by the newspaper tossed from the bicycle of a delivery boy, leading us into the morning of a white-collar household. In 2019, musician LIM Giong composed a new score for the originally silent film. The pulsing rhythms of electronic music and layers of experimental sound breathe new energy into the images, blending a modern spirit with the Taipei cityscape of the past and creating a vivid, cross-media dialogue that reinterprets a living, breathing impression of Taipei.
