《鄉愁》

開幕電影

導演: 舒浩崙/中國/2006/70分鐘

當導演舒浩崙得知他家三代人曾經生活的石庫門里弄大中里快要被拆遷時，他決定拿起攝影機回去紀錄最後的時光。隨著捕捉將會失去的影像同時，他懷疑有誰真的會為城市發展而著緊？
而改變又對城市、居民、社會有何真實意義﹖ 從和奶奶聊天，遊走於迂迴的弄堂里中，到重拾他兒時生活的片段，純樸溫暖的石庫門生活點滴活現在我們眼前。同時，導演敏銳的觀察和深刻的內心獨白，也真實地反映了居民們為大規模的城市發展所付出的代價。

亞洲協會
亞洲協會是非牟利的敎育組織，宗旨致力增進人們對亞洲各國和各文化的了解。
熱切期待一年一度的亞洲協會暑期電影系列將於零七年七月二十六日至八月十一日假香港藝術中心Agnès b. 電影院舉行。踏入第五年，亞洲協會透過各國導演和攝影師的視野，繼續探索亞洲五彩繽紛的文化氣息。過往，我們放映的電影題材有關於孩子、亞洲美食和地區音樂傳統等。去年，我們以「亞洲動起來」系列頌揚亞洲的奮鬥精神。
暑假快將來臨，五齣被受推崇的紀錄片主題包括環境、城市重建、敎育、婦女與社會以及亞洲的發展，將於暑期電影系列陸續放映。先來預告我們精彩的電影節目安排︰《鄉愁》帶大家回頭一看，石庫門仍未在城市發展下讓路給美輪美奐的摩天大樓的上海風貌；《變節》是一個從未發表的故事，講述一個變節的美國士兵在幽秘的北韓四十五年的經歷；《人工風景》是攝影家對中國工業革命後面貌的懾人紀錄，揭示人類發展介入環境進化所帶出的矛盾；《喀布爾美容學院》幽默地道出一群美國美髮師在亞富汗開設美容學院引伸的文化衝擊﹔《高三》則描寫一群福建高中三年級學生如何對抗由考試主導，令人窒息的中國敎育制度。

Nostalgia

Opening Film

Dir: Shu Haolun/China/2006/70 mins

When director Shu Haolun learns that the neighborhood in Shanghai that he grew up in will soon be demolished, he takes his camera home to record the traditional skikumen houses. As Shu tries to document what will soon disappear, he also questions whether people are really enamored with progress and what change will mean to the city, to neighborhoods, and to communities. Moving between chats with his grandmother walks through old alleyways, and reenactments of his childhood, the film is an entertaining but pointed and poignant diary about the price we pay for urban development.

Asia Society is a leading non-profit educational organisation dedicated to furthering understanding of the countries and cultures of Asia.
The much anticipated annual Summer Film Series presented by the Asia Society will be screened at the Hong Kong Arts Centre Agnès b. CINEMA!
from 26 July to 11 August, 2007. For the fifth year, the Asia Society continues to explore Asia and Asian culture through the eyes of international directors and cinematographers. In the past, we have featured films about children, Asia’s fascination with food, regional music traditions, and last year, we celebrated Asia’s competitive spirit with the Games of Asia Series.
With summer right around the corner, we have lined up five critically acclaimed documentaries that examine topical issues such as the environment, urban redevelopment, education, women and society, and developments across Asia. Highlights of our eclectic selection of films include Nostalgia, a moving look at a neighborhood of traditional shikumen houses in Shanghai before bulldozers move in to mak e way for gleaming skyscrapers; Crossing The Line, the never-been-told tale of an American soldier’s defection and life in the secretive nation of North Korea; Manufactured Landscapes, a powerful film about a photographer’s attempt to document the industrial revolution in China and the impact of human intervention on the planet; Beauty Academy of Kabul, a humorous and thought-provoking look at culture clashes as a group of American hairdressers open Afghanistan’s first post-Taliban beauty school and; Senior Year, an engaging story of high school seniors in Fujian as they prepare for their grueling entrance exams and battle the stifling Chinese educational system.
