在我家，媽媽說的不是三隻小豬、龜兔賽跑這類的童話故事，而是輾轉住到別人家，那家人如何慷慨施捨，在她上學的課本夾了鈔票、救濟其他難民、最後仍是家道中落⋯⋯這些故事沒有道理可言。等到我長大以後，才開始有了更多細節，問她那些沒有親戚可以投靠的難民有多少，「大概可以睡滿一個小公園。」我母親一家從印尼加里曼丹鄉下⋯⋯
美國導演約書亞・歐本海默（Joshua Oppenheimer）拍攝印尼「930事件」大屠殺加害者與被迫害者的兩部紀錄片《殺人一舉》（The Act of Killing）與《沉默一瞬》（The Look of Silence），都是令人看完久久無法言語的重量級作品。首部曲《殺人一舉》於2012年發表，鏡頭下印尼前軍閥頭子安華・剛果異想天開將屠⋯⋯
Southeast Asia is rich in culture, rooted in the mainland’s embrace along the Indochinese Peninsula. Emerging from the shadows of colonial rule, many of its nations have blossomed—independent, yet bearing the deep scars of history. Amid the lingering wounds of empire and the continued suppression of free expression, creators transform discontent into poetic language—subtle yet sharp—delivering reality through the lens of documentary. Why not join us on this elusive journey—to experience the magic realism of Southeast Asia, where beauty and resistance intertwine?
“Truth” is an eternal theme in many forms of artistic creation—and in documentary filmmaking, it lingers like a ghostly shadow, both elusive and indispensable. Sometimes, it must be borrowed for its power and allure. Yet “truth” never takes on a single form. It resists capture and depiction, and most often, only reveals itself through relentless excavation. In other words, truth is dynamic—shaped by the creator’s deliberate force of expression. The deeper the dive, the clearer the image. Truth in the human world can be inspiring, but it can also be unbearable to witness. That is exactly what these five films in this special program attempt to show us.
