2018 年的坎城影展,24 歲中國導演申迪以學生時期的製作《動物兇猛》(The Storms In Our Blood,2017)獲「電影基金會學生短片競賽」(Cinéfondation)二等獎。
A homesick wanderer torn between love and duty. A transgender girl fleeing a correctional school, time and again. A drift through the city to find a massive rock once glimpsed with a friend. A pregnant woman embarking on an absurd journey to find her dolphin man... In the face of these raw and dazzling images, there’s no need to stay sober. Let yourself drift into Giloo’s cinematic intoxication—drink it all in, before dawn breaks.
Every day, we're redefining time: measuring the distance of a walk or commute in time, that socially awkward moment on a Monday or Friday, climate anomalies causing red maples to arrive early and fade late, the tense of making a takeaway coffee, the excessively long summer days in Europe, the timezone of late-night runs along riverbanks or tracks, the time difference making long-distance relationships between New Zealand and France so difficult. Time in its myriad forms, time in the plural, a museum of time. I love contemplating how artists think about time: spinning, leaping, with eyes closed; sometimes between waking and sleeping, but more often, collecting time itself.
