新媽祖崇拜 ReMazu: Iterations of Devotion

 

黃半衣 HUANG Banyi|美國 USA、中國 China|2023|DCP|Color|10min

 

旅居紐約的中國藝術家黃半衣述說媽祖神祇的輪迴旅程,這名在中國南方福建被神格化的通靈巫女,成為流傳至台灣和東南亞的海洋守護神,但在藝術家的想像中,她重新被賦予當代酷兒色彩,藉此重探沿海離散社群的複雜身分認同。本片彰顯了海洋力量的靈性連結,將「重啟母性」的行動幻想成一種蛻變新生的機制。

 

Artist Huang Banyi chronicles the cyclical journeys of a deity named Mazu, a sea goddess and shaman who was first mythologized in Fujian in Southern China, later migrating to Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. Reimagined as a contemporary queer deity, ReMazu rekindles the complexity of coastal diasporic identities. Illuminating spiritual connections to the powers of water, the film fabulates the act of re-mothering as a transmutative device. 

 

 

神劍動山河 The Thrilling Sword

 

張信義 CHANG Hsin-yi|台灣 Taiwan|1981|DCP|Color|88min

 

自幼流落民間的姑射國公主瑤姬由七名矮人撫養成人後,被異國邪惡法師擄走,英勇的羽民國王子為拯救心上人,在身懷天眼神通的小仙女引領下,踏上驚心動魄的奇幻旅程。本片劇本混雜中國《山海經》與西方《白雪公主》等經典童話,以癲狂奇想改造原著,佐以融合中西風情的美術造型,天馬行空的特效場面,打造深具B級惡趣味的台式仙俠大作,在特藝七彩式的視覺奇觀中,勾勒各式心靈惑術、變身戲法、特攝妖魔,猝不及防間令人驚嚇又驚喜。

 

A long-lost princess is abducted by evil magicians. A prince — guided by an energy-sensing fairy — embarks on a journey to save his love interest. Based on the tale of Snow White, The Thrilling Sword deviates from the somber original with a zany blend of Chinese-Egyptian-Roman costumes and electrifying special effects. A grindhouse xianxia film, is a suckerpunch of technicolor telekinetic mind control, shapeshifting and whimsical apparitions.
