第二十五屆香港猶太電影節 | 選定你心水的精選電影沒？

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""] 圖片說明:《Running on Sand》劇照第25屆香港猶太電影節將於11月開鑼， 25部精心挑選的電影放映，將於11月 9 日至 11 月 20 日期間於高先電影院上映，來自法國、美國、德國、以色列等不同國家的猶太文化電影，從喜劇、劇情片、紀錄片到短片，帶領大眾探索多元猶太文化。《Running on Sand》屢獲殊榮的開幕電影《Running on Sand》由 Adar Shafran 執導，講述一名非洲厄利垂亞難民被誤認作球壇明星的幽默喜劇。主角 Aumari 試圖改變自己的命運，在機場逃出時被以色列職業球隊誤認作來自非洲尼日利亞的球星前鋒。毫無足球天份的他，卻肩負著拯救深陷困境的球隊的重大使命，他的性命安危亦因此與球隊的勝敗攸關。電影榮獲多項殊榮及提名，包括 Israeli Academy 最佳電影獎。導演 Adar Shafran 將於放映當日與觀眾見面，親身分享他的創作過程及故事。圖片說明: 《The Anne Frank Gift Shop》劇照《The Anne Frank Gift Shop》由 Mickey Rapkin 執導的2023年美國黑色喜劇短片，講述一家高級設計公司計劃重新打造「安妮之家」紀念品店，吸引Z世代年輕人。然而，他們的方案卻引發一連串大眾對集體創傷和歷史商業化的激烈討論。短片由榮獲美國劇場界最高榮譽東尼獎（Tony Award) 提名的 Kate Burton（曾演出《Hedda Gabler》、《實習醫生》、《醜聞》）飾演博物館代表 Ilse，與 Jason Butler Harner、Mary Beth Barone 和 Josh Meyers 等演員共同演出。《The Anne Frank Gift Shop》在2023年舊金山猶太影展（San Francisco Jewish Film Festival）中獲得最佳敘事短片獎，並入圍了第96屆奧斯卡最佳實景短片提名名單。圖片說明: 《Between the Temples》劇照《Between the Temples》電影於2024年亞洲日舞影展（Sundance Film Festival）首映，是一部由 Nathan Silver 執導並與 C. Mason Wells 共同撰寫的美國喜劇。電影由 Jason Schwartzman（曾演出《Rushmore》、《歡迎來到布達佩斯大飯店》）飾演 Ben Gottlieb —— 一位在妻子去世後陷於信仰危機、無法唱歌的哈贊（猶太詩班長），以及 Carol Kane（曾演出《安妮霍爾》、《Uncle Buck》）飾演 Ben 的小學音樂教師 Carla Kessler。Carol 機緣巧合下成為 Ben 的詩班學生，二人的重逢為迷惘的 Ben 重燃希望。電影刻劃二人跨越年齡與身份的友情，以及如何重新連結自我，從自我覺察中療癒心靈。《The Most Precious of Cargoes》動畫愛好者絕對不容錯過奧斯卡得獎導演 Michel Hazanavicius 的首部動畫片《The Most Precious of Cargoes》。故事背景於二戰期間，講述一位樵夫及其家人拯救了被父母絕望地扔出開往奧斯威辛集中營火車外的猶太女嬰之感人故事。Hazanavicius 結合了典型西方童話特點、20世紀初期俄羅斯的藝術作品和日本版畫等元素，構建出別具一格的動畫風格，巧妙地將浪漫化的視覺與不安的故事交織，呈現矛盾而新奇的觀感。《The Stronghold》基於真實歷史事件改編的《The Stronghold》，是為紀念1973年以色列贖罪日戰爭50周年而創作。電影重新敘述本來風平浪靜的以色列前哨基地遭埃及軍隊突襲的故事。在被圍困一周後，絕望的以色列士兵意識到救援無望，繼而轉向一個驚險且有悖於價值觀的計劃。電影巧妙地考驗了人在面臨極端壓力下對價值觀與信念的堅持，耐人尋味。香港猶太電影節日期：2024年11月9日至20日地點：高先電影院 (堅尼地城吉席街二號) 正價門票（成人）HK$110｜（學生及長者）HK$80 通行證（所有電影）HK$1,800 全文，線上閱讀：https://www.artmap.xyz/post/第二十五屆香港猶太電影節-選定你心水的精選電影沒[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

香港猶太電影節門票公開發售開幕片《Running on Sand》呈現溫柔治癒的難民童話故事 2024-10-10

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]【橙訊】第25屆香港猶太電影節11月開鑼，精心挑選25部電影放映，將於2024年11月9日於影藝戲院JP舉行首映禮；其後至 11月20 日期間，於高先電影院上映來自法國、美國、德國、以色列等不同國家的猶太文化電影，從喜劇、劇情片、紀錄片到短片，扣人心弦，帶領大眾透過精彩作品探索多元猶太文化。門票現已公開發售，電影迷可到官網購票，走進多元的猶太文化世界。小編有幸提前觀賞到包括Israeli Academy最佳電影獎在內，榮獲多項殊榮及提名的開幕影片《Running on Sand》，電影由Adar Shafran執導，講述一名非洲厄利垂亞難民被誤認作球壇明星的幽默喜劇。主角Omari試圖改變自己的命運，在機場逃出時，被以色列職業球隊誤認作來自非洲尼日利亞的球星前鋒。毫無足球天份的他，卻肩負著拯救深陷困境的球隊的重大使命，他的性命安危亦因此與球隊的勝敗攸關…… 《Running on Sand》劇照「誤會」帶來的轉變，為主角的生活套上了溫柔的童話濾鏡，雖然我們都知道在當今通訊發達的時代，不分青紅皂白就把普通人認錯成一個球星，還敲鑼打鼓歡呼雀躍把他迎回隊這件事有多離譜，而男主憑藉人格魅力，不單和美貌的球隊經理（老闆女兒）發展出曖昧情愫，還贏得隊友的尊重和支持，簡直夢幻到不真實，但它像是一劑撫慰難民際遇的安慰藥，而原本因為陌生和偏見而充滿衝突的人類，在靠近彼此、下意識關心彼此的嘗試後，逐漸卸下心防，學會摘下標籤，以誠摯的心靈坦誠相見，當中閃耀的人性之光，才是影片最動人之處。《Running on Sand》劇照此外，在片中依然能一窺難民的艱難處境：隨時可能因居留權到期而被遣返，日常被懷疑偷竊和遭到歧視，居無定所，也找不到體面的工作……電影的落腳點「跑」十分巧妙，Aumari「跑」著逃離滿目瘡痍的國家，因為擅長「跑」而不被球員懷疑，但他還得繼續「跑」去新的落腳點，步履不停。片中飾演難民的演員不少在現實生活中都是真實的難民，主演Chancela Mongoza便是出生於剛果的非洲移民，他在片中數次因為緊張而變得急促的呼吸、小鹿一般驚懼又脆弱的眼神，讓觀眾自然代入Omari的不安心境，而導演也曾在訪問中表示，除了探討種族問題外，他希望更多人能注意到身邊這些「被人忽視的人」。如果觀眾因為《Running on Sand》而了解到和關心難民的境遇，也是這部電影的創作者會感到欣慰的事。除《Running on Sand》外，香港猶太電影節還有不少精彩影片：《The Anne Frank Gift Shop》是由Mickey Rapkin執導的2023年美國黑色喜劇短片，講述一家高級設計公司計劃重新打造「安妮之家」紀念品店，吸引Z世代年輕人。然而，他們的方案卻引發一連串大眾對集體創傷和歷史商業化的激烈討論。短片由榮獲美國劇場界最高榮譽東尼獎（Tony Award）提名的Kate Burton（曾演出《Hedda Gabler》、《實習醫生》、《醜聞》）飾演博物館代表Ilse，與Jason Butler Harner、Mary Beth Barone 和Josh Meyers等演員共同演出。《The Anne Frank Gift Shop》在2023年舊金山猶太影展（San Francisco Jewish Film Festival）中獲得最佳敘事短片獎，並入圍了第96屆奧斯卡最佳實景短片提名名單。全文，線上閱讀：https://www.orangenews.hk/film/1241872/[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

The Stolpersteine he crafted is, in theory, quite simple: concrete blocks measuring 10x10cm, topped with permanent brass plates that are hand stamped with the names and fates of victims of Hitler's reign of terror. The stones are laid into the pavement in front of the last voluntarily chosen residence of those murdered by the Nazis. They are deeply personal and draw attention to individual tragedies. They have now been placed in 30 countries across Europe and on May 23rd, 2023 we filmed Gunter Demnig laying the 100,000th Stolpersteine.
