简介 Synopsis:
阿厚，28岁，属IT，样貌“毒”突，一直谨守单身岗位，至今只失守一次。但“缘”来今年科技畅旺，一年四季可开五次，只不过，阿厚的桃花开在“山旮旯”。五段恋情分别横跨离岛大西北，每次路程可来回台北几次，真是在香港都可以享受远距离恋爱。究竟这365天的环港游，能否为阿厚带来一份“缘”满的爱情？黄浩然延续入选第三届SCFF《点对点》的地理式恋爱，透过这部轻松童话式爱情喜剧，带大家游走香港每一个角落，发现和感受香港的可爱之处，把这片土地的美好永恒锁在电影世界。就算我们分隔多远，只要愿意，也能连在一起。
Indie writer-director Amos Why travels to the far-flung corners of Hong Kong for this sweet coming-of-age romantic comedy. After years as a prominent sidekick, Kaki Sham finally gets his first crack at playing the leading role as a computer-savvy casanova. Sham plays a 28-year-old I.T. geek who suddenly finds himself the object of affection for five attractive women. The quintet share virtually no similar traits except for one quirky thing: they all live in remote corners of Hong Kong. However, seeing our heartthrob’s struggles is half the fun. All that travelling allows Why to offer his audience a chance to see and appreciate parts of the city they rarely get to experience.

电影人为什么要拍电影人的故事？是因为可以把亲身的经历化为创作的养分？还是因为这样的题材可以滿足观影者对这个行业的好奇心？这其中有多少电影人的心情写照？又有多少纯属创作上的想象？电影人电影中有哪些真哪些假？创作时什么容易什么难？让我们和电影人一起走进电影人电影的世界。
Why should a film focus on a filmmaker? Is it to draw creative inspiration from personal experiences? Or is it to satisfy viewers’ curiosity about the industry? How many of these are reflections of the souls of the filmmakers?
How many are purely creative imagination? What are the true and made-up elements in these films? What are the challenges faced in creating such films? Let’s walk into the world of filmmakers telling the tales of filmmakers.

【下集】王哥和柳哥继续踏上畅游台湾名胜古迹的旅途，体验非日常的种种趣事，并发生一连串笑料，不过柳哥仍会不时想起44日后将死的算命先生之言。见柳哥日益黯然神伤，两人决定踏上归途，返家准备后事，却发现预言并无成真。

One day, they come across a fortune teller who offers a peculiar forecast: that Wang will become very wealthy in three days, but that Liu will die in 44 days.

With his newfound wealth, Wang decides to reward Liu with the trip of a lifetime. Carrying around a suitcase full of cash, the working-class twosome embark on a road trip around the beautiful island of Taiwan. Enjoying a lavish lifestyle as inexperienced big spenders, they find themselves in unexpected situations and amusing predicaments, one after another…

简介 Synopsis:
从影生涯70年，李行一生投入创作，为台湾电影激荡出一池涟漪。年少时与妻子共创舞台剧相知相惜，首部电影作品《王哥柳哥游台湾》写下乡土记忆；《街头巷尾》和《养鸭人家》开创了健康写实；《秋决》中影像调度与美学纯熟问鼎；揉和浪漫梦幻和人伦常情的《彩云飞》；响应新浪潮现代写实的《早安台北》，一直到晚年改革奠立金马奖，推动华语电影文化交流。在电影的这一条路上，他始终信念如一，坚定不离。
图像为经，岁月为纬，《行影·不离》汇聚知名学者黄建业、焦雄屏、蓝祖蔚，以及深受其影响的创作者李安、王童、朱延平等，在戏院与李行比肩而坐，谈笑间共筑台湾近代电影史。身后的浮光掠影投映着过去，眼前的影坛巨擘仍旧屹立。在丰沛光鲜的创作之外，首度启口的家族伤痕，更是难能可贵的私密纪录。拄着拐杖踽踽独行的背影，也成了李行离世后，最令人怀念的一道光景。
In Taiwan, director Li Hsing’s films have become a reflection of society and a collective memory of many. His dedication to film not only launched the careers of many movie stars and crew, but was also the foundation of the prestigious Golden Horse Awards.
This documentary offers Li Hsing’s personal perspective on family, films, fate, and beliefs, giving us a glimpse of the glory and rebirth of Taiwanese cinema.

2020年中国以19.3亿美元超越美国的19.2亿美元累计票房成为世界最大的电影市场。在电影产业越来越蓬勃的中国，独立电影是个怎么样的存在？有多少人是为了拍主流电影而不得先走这条电影之路？又有多少人是为了保有创作的独立自主而坚持走这条不归路？中国独立电影有那些特色？有哪些人在关注它？又在哪里看得到这些作品？这场座谈会从创作、策展和发行这三个方向来看中国独立电影的现况与挑战。
In 2020, China surpassed the United States by USD$10mil to become the world’s largest film market. What is the role of independent film in China, where the film industry is booming? How many filmmakers are forced into this route in order to make it into mainstream filmmaking?
How many filmmakers would insist on this road of no return in order to maintain creative independence? What are the characteristics of Chinese independent films? Who are their ardent followers? Where can we view such works? This panel discussion examines the current situation and challenges of Chinese independent films from three perspectices : creation, curation, and distribution.
