/ 反諷馬來西亞社會“不好好看電影”的影展｜ WatchMoviesNot Film Festival

| WatchMoviesNotFilmFestival AT. Robert Wooden House |
「不看電影」是一項本地電影教育計劃，於2019年成立，以反諷砂拉越/馬來西亞社會“不去看電影”或“不好好看電影”風氣而命名。「不看電影」通過策劃影展、出版刊物、書寫電影觀後感、舉辦校園電影課等等多種方式，在砂拉越普及電影文化。
WatchMoviesNot is a project founded in 2019. Partly derived from local slang,"WatchMoviesNot" was insipired by their observation that the local community hardly watched movies or made film appreciation part of their lives.
WatchMoviesNot curate film festivals, write film reviews, create publications and organized campus visits to popularise film culture locally.

如果不是因為影展，我想我不會知道原來Sibu還有這樣的地方，一個保有滿滿文化氣息的地方。走到二樓的展覽區，看到這本介紹RobertWoodenHouse冊子，加上自己身臨其境處在那個空間中，我真的雞皮疙瘩。不知道你有沒有過一種感受，就是現在踏著的這片土地，想象一下，數十年前那些古人們站在這。雖然時間已經流逝，雖然土地/環境已經變了，但那些留下來的、那些被後代們傳承下來的故事真的需要被好好重視。上一次有這種感受是在台南的赤坎樓，這一次是在自己的家鄉。（感動）
If wasn't for this film festival, I don't think I would know Sibu had such a place, a place full of culture vibes. Walk up to the exhibition area on the second floor, seeing this brochure about RobertWooden House, and being in that space, I was really so shocked.
Do u ever have this feeling before? Imagine that,the land u stepping now, decades ago those ancient people standing here too. Although time has passed and the land/environment has changed, the stories which passed on by future generations really need to be focused on. Last time when I had this feeling was at Chikan Tower,Tainan and this time was in my hometown (touched.)

What makes me come:

| YOUTH AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN_by_Cheryl Lisa |
故事大綱：邁入20年歲，少女透過影像日記記錄成長的點滴和青春歲月。Outline：A girl talks about the value of enjoying her youth as she reminisces about her younger days and receives pieces of advice from her loved ones as she enters her 20s.
就是這一部讓我決定這個暑假一定要回家看一看這個影展。另外的話，就是Sarawak Shorts。說來很好笑，雖然自己是Sarawakian但其實我跟砂拉越很不熟。我是一直到出國留學之後，才開始有自己的獨立思考/批判思考能力，但離開家之後就很難對於這個生活了十幾年的土地更加了解。所以，這部影片算是給我一個契機回家看看，也順便了解一下這個自己很不熟悉的家鄉。
This was the film that made me decide to go home and watch this film festival in this summer break. Next would be the Sarawak Shorts. It's quite funny to said that, although I'm a Sarawakian but actually i don't know Sarawak very well. I began to have my own independent/critical thinking ability while studying abroad. But there's the point,I'm leaving home!!! so it's quite difficult to have a better understanding of the land where I have lived for more than ten years. Therefore, this film is like giving me a chance to visit home and learn more about this unfamiliar hometown.
那天看了兩個場次的Sarawak Shorts。砂州短打是「不看電影」一直以來聚焦的單元。在砂拉越的電影工作者不被重視甚至前途渺茫。儘管如此，「不看電影」希望通過這單元聚焦在砂拉越電影工作者身上。在兩個場次的短片中，最有印象的是《小斌》、《魘紅詭屋》和《我家》。熟悉我的朋友應該知道我就是個感性爆棚的人，這幾部的共同點就是“家人”，這點就足夠我去感性了。
Watched Sarawak Shorts that day. SarawakShorts is aprojam that WatchMoviesNot has been focusing on. There are many Sarawakians striving locally or abroad, working towards their passion despite the challenges. WatchMoviesNot hoped to focus on local filmmakers in this program. The most impressive films that i'd watches that day are "THE BIN", "THE HOUSE OF BRICK AND STONE" and "MY HOME". Friends who are familiar with me should know that I am a sentimental person, and the common points of these films is "family", which is enough for me to be emotional.

This's a film that need your fully patience n attention. The whole film takes two hours and seven minutes long, and tbh i yawn few times in the middle but the latter part of the film woke me up again. Death really's atopic that really fascinates me. During the viewing process, I found that Director Nawapol used every half hour to tell a story, and also used the month to distinguish the story of each units. Feel like I actually watched four small units of short film. After the movie ended, I couldn't forget those golden words:
「Nothing's certain. Things happen quickly and without reason.」
「I'm bitten by the lazy bug. Can i have a hug? I read in a health manual,
hugging is a form of exercise.」
「It's worth waiting for magic hour.」

一些題外話。
第一天到了影展現場就看到很多熟悉的面孔。是那些朋友的朋友的朋友。不是很認識但是聽過這些名字，知道這個人的樣子，但是我實在是不敢主動去打招呼。所以，我去了三天的影展完全沒有跟現場的策展團隊有任何交流（這應該是唯一的遺憾）。我甚至敢在現場拿著相機拍vlog，（甚至還有人對著我的vlog打招呼 WeeklyVlog 12:49），就是不敢主動去打招呼，就是很害怕，clz明年請加油。
First day going to the festival, saw lots familiar faces. They're friend's of a friend of a friend. Don't know them very well, but I've heard the name and know the appearance of those people, but I really dare not take the initiative to say hello. Therefore, I went to the film festival for three days without any communication with the team (this should be the only regret point). I even dare to take a camera at the scene to film vlog, (even some people say hi to my vlog, link here 12:49), but I do not dare to take the initiative to say hi.
