角落地下平台影展
Nook underground DVD festival
台灣，或說台北，已經有太多各擁主題的大小影展。但是，必定還是有眾多創作者還隱沒、潛伏著。而這些人或為社會角落裡，繼續為堅持影像製作的一群默默無聞的創作者。
因此我們期望有一影展將這些人引導出來，並開放一空間、一時間，讓其他社會大眾、社區居民，與這些創作者交流。
地下平台影展，希冀回歸至創作的原始熱情，爲創作者開拓能見度，爲觀眾闢建新的觀影房，爲影像構築絕對誠懇的新樂園。
我們也希望此影展之後能夠永續經營，作為一個提供創作者發聲的平台，並以「地下」的「獨立精神」確立影展的方向。
Underground movies are willing to stray from the norm and provide original and authentic entertainment. And if different is what you’re looking for, the Nook’s Underground DVD Festival is where you’ll find creative and enthralling cinema. The festival will take place on a chosen weekend around ?September 11?, providing a great opportunity to support local artists while getting the chance to discover a new appreciation for independent movie making. It’s for those people that are looking for independent movies that provide an experience and get you asking questions.
The Nook’s Underground DVD Festival, in its first year, is dedicated to highlighting unorthodox vision by showcasing independent and boundary pushing experimental movies. The festival selects movies which resist the standard structure, technique and subject matter characteristically found in Hollywood movies and ensures the audience will be entertained by talent. The festival hosts many different genres, spanning from animations to documentaries to short films touching on topics of politics, protest, music and sex.
The Nook’s DVD Festival promises to be unlike any other film festival. First of all, it is a digital video festival. Digital video has been a dominant force though we are not ready to declare the death of the film, But since underground films tend to have lower budgets, digital video is an increasingly more affordable option, it is a trend where filmmakers use digital video and DVD format to present their works instead of 35 or 16 millimeter films. It is not fair enough to say that the film image is inherently better than the video image. However, It is different and especially with the newer, high quality digital video. In addition, imperfection can be interesting too, and it can be a smart aesthetic choice. The other difference between this festival and others is the venue, a basement bar in a popular Café providing an alternative to the usual movie theatre. It’s a different experience to see a movie at a bar in the basement of a popular Café (Nook’s Songjiang branch) . The bar can seat up to 50, so it’s a more intimate setting.
Underground film festivals are known for their often aggressive, independent and unique subject matter; Nook’s is no exception promising to be nothing like the money hopeful cinematic product out in theatres today. If you’re looking for some stimulating entertainment, then be sure to attend the Nook’s Underground DVD Festival.
