熱蔗一度是香港跑電影院的美食，也是亞洲各處都找到的味道。《熱蔗 － 亞洲電影及錄像放映》是透過電影作為一種聯繫和聯想，針對亞洲當下的社會文化議題例如邊境、社會制度、信仰、成長等，帶來中國、日本、泰國、越南和菲律賓導演及藝術家的電影、錄像與紀錄片，以及連串的公開講座和藝術家對談。
《熱蔗》作為Rooftop Institute策劃的首個活動，我們希冀以電影作為對香港毗鄰國家的一次初探 ─ 從殖民與邊界糾紛去思想歷史，從底層人民的生活看社會制度；從夢想與堅持中思想價值，從成長的掙扎中看文明與進步的迷思；從身體中尋找抵抗歷史記憶的可能。
放映會獲「保良局『夢飛行』青少年正向人生基金」贊助經費，所有活動免費參加，歡迎直接空降。
Hot sugar cane (Cantonese: jit6 ze3 ) was once a popular snack in Hong Kong cinemas, it is also a taste that can be found all across Asia. “Jit Ze – Asian Film and Video Screening” takes film as a medium for connection and association, in the light of such sociocultural topics today in Asia as boundary, social system, belief systems, growth etc. To explore these subjects, Rooftop Institute organized the screening of films, videos and documentaries made by directors and artists from China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines; each screening session will be followed by a series of public seminars and artist dialogues.
“Jit Ze” is the first programme organized by Rooftop Institute. We hope these films will provide a new perspective to understand Hong Kong’s neighboring countries. With its choice of films and documentaries, this series will reflect particularly on the following issues: reflect on history through colonial and boundary disputes; ponder over the social systems through the everyday life of people from the lowest stratum of society; think about values through dreams and adherence; see through the myth of civilization and progress through the struggles in growth; and lastly, look for the possibility of resisting memories in history through our body.
The screenings are sponsored by the Po Leung Kuk“Soaring Dreams” － Youth Development Fund. All programmes are free and open to the public.

1996 年，趙亮在北京南站偶然遇到了上百號的上訪者，狀如乞丐，衣衫襤褸，四處是臨時搭建的棚屋與用來做飯的錫桶。緊鄰北京南站，正是國務院信訪局、最高人民法院的所在地。這一區域成為上訪者的聚集點，作為社會中最弱勢的群體，他們在長年上訪而未獲結果的歷程中益發窘迫，但從不輕言放棄，堅韌如一。在這個無限循環的體系中，趙亮深入其中，跟踪一對母女歷時十二年之久。在長達318 分鐘的完整版中，影片採用了三部曲結構，由《上訪村》、《母女》和《北京南站》組成。

In 1996, Zhao Liang met by chance hundreds of petitioners at the Beijing South Railway Station. They were clothed in rags like beggars, and surrounded by temporary shanties and tin buckets for cooking. Right next to the Beijing South Railway Station stands the State Bureau for Letters and Calls and the Supreme People’s Court. Petitioners are all gathered in this area. Being the weakest group in society, they are tormented by fear and the experience of many years of petitioning without any progress. However, they do not give up easily and their determination never waver. Zhao Liang explored in depth this system of infinite cycles and followed the tracks of a mother and daughter for a period of 12 years. In this 318-min full version, the film is divided into 3 parts, “The Petition Village”, “Mother and Daughter” and “Beijing South Railway Station”.

《罪與罰》聚焦在中國中朝邊界一派出所的日常事務工作上，包括出警、民警與犯罪嫌疑人周旋等，幾樁案例中的主人公清晰可辨：一個被查出營業許可證過期的拾荒老漢面對警察經受著尊嚴的考驗、有聽覺障礙溝通困難的盜竊嫌疑人拒不承認偷竊、偷伐林木的農民在連夜刑訊下道出為生活所迫的原委。

“Crime and Punishment” shed light on the daily routine work of a state police station in a small town near the China–North Korea border. The tangle between the police and suspects, as well as the people involved in various cases, are investigated in details. The film features several cases: an elderly scavenger faces challenges to his dignity while being investigated for his overdue business license; a hearing-and-speech impaired suspect is suspected of stealing; a farmer describes the hardships he experienced in his life as the reason behind his act of illegal logging after being interrogated for nights.

以1989年作主要轉折和起點的當代中國影像藝術，毫無疑問受到時代轉變的深刻影響和烙印。比如「獨立電影」與「新紀錄運動」，便建基於一種對民主自由訴求的發聲。整個90年代，無論電影、紀錄片或錄像藝術的創作與美學關注，都與急速的現代化進程和議題密不可分。中國的「獨立電影」與韓國、日本、香港的概念和發展非常不同，無論在美學形式上、甚至研究和出版的方式都不同。本講座董冰峰將會分享其對中國獨立電影和藝術電影領域的一些研究和觀察。
The year 1989 is both a turning and starting point for contemporary Chinese video art which undoubtedly changed profoundly with the times. The fields of “independent film” and “new documentary movement” as examples, it is possible to show that they developed as a result of grievances on democracy and freedom. Throughout the 1990s, the creations as well as the aesthetic concerns of films, documentaries or video art were closely associated with the topic of the rapid progress of modernization. The concept and development of the field of “independent film” in China are very different from those in South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong, either of its aesthetics, forms, and even ways of research and publishing. During the talk, Dong Bingfeng will share his research and observation of the field of independent and art films in China.

故事由追訪居住於泰柬邊境的年輕人 Aod參軍開始。本片是關於 2008年被認定為世界文化遺產的柏威夏寺，其主權爭議引發的泰國和柬埔寨之間的爭端。片中的紅黃衫軍抽籤儀式，武裝衝突的實地拍攝，以及穿插著當地人訪談、靠水吃水的生活態度，文化儀式等，從平民百姓的角度逐步打開柏威夏寺爭議的真實相。
導演Nontawat在這部電影中希望與我們反思「邊界」－它不只是領土的邊界，而是社會階級､生與死､幸福與悲傷之間的邊界。
2014年 泰國影評人協會青年導演獎
2013年 第63屆柏林國際電影節 (論壇單元)
The story starts with the interview of a young man called Aod, living near the Thailand-Cambodia boundary, who joined the army. The film is about the Preah Vihear Temple, which had been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008, and the critical issues of sovereignty between Thailand and Cambodia. The red-shirts and the yellow-shirts’ rituals of drawing lots, the armed conflicts taking place next to the temple, the interviews of the locals, and their attitude towards life are shown throughout the film. These angles from the lives of ordinary people gradually reveal the truth behind the critical issues related to the Preah Vihear Temple.
With his film, Nontawat the director, hopes to make viewers reflect on the meaning of “boundary”; not just territorial boundary, but also the boundary between social classes, between life and death and between happiness and sorrow.

藤井在短片所使用的資料片段，取自於1940年代由美國（舊制）陸軍憲兵總司令部製作的《日本的教育制度》。影片從許多日本的影像資料中，挑選出與教育有關的部分, 以美軍的觀點剪輯，伴隨旁白展現了大日本帝國如何將皇民化教育帶出學校，使臣民從日常生活中也合乎國策 。
另一邊廂，藤井於一年前在韓國國立美術館的駐館計劃期間，與當地學生一起進行戰爭記憶工作坊。參加工作坊的同學，在看過幾部資料影片後，依照藤井的指示，以自己的身體表現出資料影片中的事件 。
兩組畫面交互呈現，從歷史事實剪輯而成的歷史記憶出發，藤井旨在紀錄現代人如何看待並且抵抗這些事實。
The clips that Fujii used in this short film are picked from “The Educational System of Japan” by the former US Department of the Commander-in-chief of the Army. From a large amount of images and videos, the director selected clips on education and edited them with the perspective of the US army. The narration showed how the Japanese empire brought Japanization out of education, fitting the everyday life of people into the national policy.
On the other hand, Fujii has conducted a workshop on wartime memories with local Korean students, during the Artist-In-Residence programme in the National Art Museum in South Korea. The students, who participated in the workshop, after watching several clips, followed Fujii’s instructions and used their body to express the incidents shown in those images.
The two sets of frames appears on and off throughout the film. It starts off with the cut and edited historical memories from historical facts. Fujii attempts to focus on recording how people treat and resist these facts nowadays.

The film also alludes to the legacy of war and colonialism; exploring and reflecting on landscape and portrait, documentary and fiction, art and ethnography, as methods of working in film and art, and their limitations in accessing the other cultures, peoples, experiences, as well as history and the past.

《紙飛機》記錄了一群北京年輕的地下搖滾音樂人的故事。他們為了理想和自由離開家鄉去面對社會價值觀的動盪與遽變。他們選擇搖滾音樂，帶著些許質疑與失落，持續對抗著。導演的攝影機隨著他們的日常生活一路跟拍－來到北京的街頭、跟著他們回家、去到不同的官方拘留所。全片並未出現紙飛機的形象，僅在影片結尾，躺在病榻上垂死的青年對作者說：「這部片子就叫《紙飛機的故事》吧。它想飛，但是還是飛不起來，因為它是紙做的。」

“Paper Airplane” is the story of a group of young underground rockers in Beijing. With a view to chase after their dreams and freedom, they left their hometown while facing upheavals and abrupt changes of social values. Being doubtful and lost somehow, they have chosen rock music to continuously resist society. The director’s camera follows their daily life, from the streets in Beijing, their homes, to various houses of detention. The image of a paper airplane is not shown throughout the film. It is mentioned simply at the end, the dying young man on a sickbed speaks to the journalist, “Let’s name the film “Paper Airplane”. It wants to fly but it can’t, it is made of paper.”

《西國紀事》記錄了藝術家在西班牙內華達山脈短暫停留的風景。在拍攝結束之後他發現了一系列署名為張紀的中國湖南年青人的日記。
張紀於1918年留學美國，修讀礦冶工程; 1937年加入西班牙內戰的國際志願軍隊，對抗佛朗哥的法西斯主義政權。 1939年張紀輾轉來到香港，將在西班牙內戰的經歷寫成《西國紀事》一書。
錄像將藝術家對當地地理環境的觀察和張紀的戰時文字混合在一起，兩個不同的鏡頭節奏講述了兩段跨越了近八十年的不同經歷與觀察。回顧記憶中的夢想，此刻又是一種甚麼體驗？
“Spanish Vignettes” documents the scenery during the artist’s short stay in the Sierra Nevada in Spain. After the filming, he found a series of diaries by a young man named Chang Chi from Hunan, China.
Chang Chi studied Mining and Metallurgical Engineering in the US in 1918 and he joined the International Brigade in Southern Spain to fight against Franco’s Fascist regime. In 1939, Chang Chi came to Hong Kong and wrote the book Spanish Vignettes about his experience in the Spanish Civil War.
The video blends the artist’s observation of the natural landscape of the Sierra Nevada, with the words by Chang Chi in a time of war. The two different observations and journeys through two different periods eighty years apart. Looking back to the dream in memory, what can we experience now?

每天清晨，黎明破曉時分，父親和母親幫助Julio伸展，並將他的四肢往相反方向拉伸。站在酷熱的太陽下，Julio被吩咐飲用由鱈魚肝臟所造，認為會刺激兒童成長的混合劑。
這六個小孩的家庭，父親養家糊口，母親料理家事，留下Julio和他的兄弟姐妹在蒼翠繁茂的自然環境。很快，最年輕的兩位家庭成員將會被帶走，分配給兩個沒有子女的阿姨。
“Big Boy” 記載了一個家庭的成長，以及對進步的迷思。

Every morning, at the crack of dawn, father and mother stretch Julio, pulling his limbs in opposite directions. Standing in the blazing heat of the sun, he is made to drink a concoction made from the liver of codfish, believed to stimulate growth in children.
In this family with six children, father hunts for food while mother tends to domestic duties, leaving Julio and his siblings alone, exposed to their lush natural environs. Soon enough, the youngest two are taken away and distributed amongst the two aunts without offspring of their own.
“Big Boy” chronicles the growth of a family, the myths of progress that consume them.
