不能接收無法理解的意在言外

From 11 Jan 17 - Feb 8 Minox GT_US snaps

如同美麗是由內而生，對家、對族群或對國的認同，並不會因為採用了哪種語言就有層級或差異之分。

一向樂於學習新的語言，咬字不清帶臭奶味，這是一種從認識逐漸進步到與他者溝通的過程。去不了法國，但至少念得出幾個法文單字；無法環遊，但至少我能作的是把英文練好，隨時準備與世界溝通，約略是帶著這樣的心態希望慢慢的探究，「媚外」二字的帽子壓得有點太大，很多時候，期待溝通的欲望沒有複雜得比頭還大。

回到認同，對「台灣話」等同於「台語」、「河洛語」、「閩南話」這些相互要高來高去，或寫千字短文之前要先作五百字的鄭重聲明，至此，我都沒有意見。井水不犯河水，「台語『理所當然的應該』是台灣的『唯一正宗』」，這種極度踩了別人的線還要舉手說沒碰沒碰的話都脫得出口？我應該不認識你，但你大概長得像你的心地一般醜惡。

沒有人可以，要求他人應該「正確的」使用什麼語言，尤其是沒有人試圖溝通之前。沒有人可以。地球轉了這麼千百萬年，人類從嗯嗯啊啊比手劃腳開始，到上帝拆散眾人的巴別塔，再到什麼都要程式碼和語法的現代，誰可以準確定義語系與文法或遣辭用字的正確性？沒有人可以。語言不是為了正確，最大的前提是為了溝通。

把歷史與居住在這島上的各個族群收編歸屬於你的認同？你那位？學台語一點都不是想為了跟醜醜的你溝通，我要鬥你：贛林老斯！

Home, Sweet Home in EX!T 2010

Taiwan, a small island, younger generation including me have to struggle from identity issues everyday.  Who are we?  And what would we be?  How can we live in this place yet not knowing what's the name of our land?  So, I made films and pushed them into world.  I'd see my name on webpages with "TW" or "Taiwan."  That's the way I made my own kind of identity.  Meanwhile, other artists in Taiwan made lots of great films but barely have chance to screen in public.  Mainstream doesn't have the room for experimental tastes.


EX!T held 6 forums in 3 days, gathering Asia curators/filmmakers to share their opinions of the state of experimental arts in their countries nowadays.  A rare opportunity to hear the voices from artists who are nearer to us instead of Europe or North America.


Home,Sweet Home had its world premiere in France, also went to Bulgaria, Canada, Greece and Romania.   Screened in drama theater,  outdoor, aged abandon building or even an old church with wooden chairs.  Screened in 5 countries on 2 continents but never been screened in Taiwan.  Thanks to Tony Wu and EX!T, this is the homecoming screening of "Home, Sweet Home."


Meant a lot to me.
