黃羊川 Yellow Sheep River 

劉嵩 LIU Soung

2008 / Taiwan / Digibeta / Color / 94min

金鐘獎最佳導演劉嵩，與拍攝團隊深入中國黃土高原上的黃羊川，傾聽及觀看那裡樸實的生活，看見生活中所展現的溫韌生命力。全片由十九幕農村片段組成，再由一位失明的走唱樂師將這些片段串連而成，並打破傳統敘事結構，不以語言、對白、故事、衝突、角色來作表現，單靠畫面就得以從平凡之中，實踐農民們簡樸的生活美學。

This is a documentary consisting of 19 scenes of rural life, brought together by a blind singer, with no narratives, no subtitles, no traditional storytelling, no protagonists or antagonists, only the details of farmers’ everyday lives. “Yellow Sheep River” is a small rural village in the northwestern China. The simple life there is filled with vitality of the day-to-day trivia, which shows us the changing lights and shadows from dawn to dusk and from spring to winter.

吳汰紝 Wuna WU

2008 / Taiwan / 35mm / Color / 90min

2008 台灣國際紀錄片雙年展競賽單元 / 2009 新加坡影展

台北電影獎百萬首獎得主吳汰紝新作。在知音難尋、離婚率又高的現代社會中，應運而生的進化版媒婆，如何撮合對對佳偶？導演不當鏡頭後面冷靜的觀察分析者，反而選擇徹底交出自己，駕著紀錄片小舟，緩緩駛過曠男怨女芸芸眾生，面對自己最深處的渴望。這不是一個皆大歡喜的年代，卻無疑是一個行銷術全面勝利的年代。

In our contemporary society, pervaded by desperate loneliness, it seems almost impossible to live with one specific person for your whole life. But how does a modern matchmaker expand her business in such a context? Is marriage a disaster? Why do the single try so hard to plunge into it, while the married ones want to break out of it? You cannot have everything you want, but we know that marketing is the best way to sell anything.

2008 台灣國際紀錄片雙年展競賽單元

1941年太平洋戰爭爆發，台灣人大量被動員投入戰場。終戰時這些台灣軍屬有173人被當戰犯審判，21人被判「絞首刑」，其餘被關進集中營。他們在政府的漠視、遺棄、監控下，背著沉重的枷鎖，在底層打拼討生活。透過影音紀錄幾近凋零的二戰台籍戰犯，與這些老人家們作心靈的對話，從常民的觀點檢視歷史，並引出戰爭與人性之間的一些問題。

Heat Sun tries to discuss some issues on wars and humanity. The Pacific War broke out in December, 1941, and many Taiwanese were mobilized to the battles. But while some died on the battlefields, most of them were neglected, forsaken or even monitored after the war, struggling for survival. They dare not look back on their experiences during the war, describing them as the darkest memories of their lives. After they have lost their so-called motherland, they don’t know where to go anymore.

六局下半 The Turn of The Game

郭樂興 Kuo Le-hsing / 林育賢 Lin Yu-hsien

2009 / Taiwan / Digibeta / Color / 80min

《翻滾吧男孩》林育賢再度以運動為題材之作。花蓮富源村富源國小的少棒隊在全國少棒比賽中實力堅強，但張茂三教練認為有比球賽勝負更重要的事。因為棒球，孩子們願意到校上課，成績跟不上，教練不讓打球；因為棒球，家長開始參與孩子的生活，出賽或操練，都需要家長的協助；也因為棒球，張教練從孩子身上得到再進修的動力。

The 6^th inning is the last inning of the Little League game, also a turning point of the game. Eight years ago, Chang Mao-shan, a coach, introduced baseball into Fuyuan, a village in eastern Taiwan. The Fuyuan Little League team has been regarded as a prominent team for the National League. However, in Chang’s mind, what comes more important than the game results is the change of the young players and their parents. Chang is thus inspired by them.

紅穀子 Ancient Species 

林稚霑 LIN Zhi-zhan

2008 / Taiwan / Betacam / Color / 86min

台灣導演，雲南題材，讓人想到《無米樂》，不同的是觀點與紀錄方法。雲南平寨村有一種古老品種的紅穀子，當地農民雖抱怨外來化學肥料對農產不好，但真願意用古老技術種植老品種紅穀子的農民卻很少。本片導演跟隨這樣的一個農家，看到他們的堅持，卻也看到他們難以擺脫貧窮的困境，這戶農家本身也像紅穀子一樣，是現代農村中的稀有老種。

A flaman found an ancient species in the Pingzhai Village. With his proposal, three households started to plant the species in an old traditional way. Unexpectedly, the issue echoes around the authorities and the academia, which then put a high premium on the local agriculture. An excess of fertilizer on the crops in the past has seriously damaged the soil, yet the ancient species still grows well. It somehow reminds the farmers to cherish what they originally own.
