Fly Train
Like a bee trying to fly out of the window of a seemingly endless train…
Amid an ordinary, tranquil journey, thoughts drift, weaving between the scenery and fragmented memories. It feeling like a continuous dream flowing through fleeting, enigmatic moments of life.
"Fly Train" explores shadow play and experimental visuals to present a visual journey about time and memory. By transforming the silhouettes of everyday objects into surreal imagery, the film plunges into a poetic stream of consciousness. The interplay of light and shadow shifts from tangible scenes to philosophical reflections on confronting fading memories and the relentless passage of time.
As the wheels turn, the film's wandering imagery invites viewers not to seek a destination or memory's meaning, but to immerse themselves in the flickering ambiance – finding solace in the flow of frames, where personal resonance glimmers.
彷彿駛向無盡的列車中,一隻蜜蜂試圖飛出車窗⋯⋯
一段看似日常且沉靜的旅程中,思緒流轉,於窗外景色與碎片化的記憶片段之間穿梭。彷彿置身幻夢,畫面不斷流動,穿越那些微小的、美好的、意義不明的時刻,那些組成生命的時刻。
〈褪色的透明列車〉以皮影戲技術及實驗影像為核心,呈現一趟關於時間與記憶的視覺旅程。透過將日常物品的剪影轉化為超現實的意象,進入意識流般的詩意影像。利用光與影的交織,本片試圖從具象的場景,推進至哲理性的思索——微小如蟲的你我,要如何面對記憶消逝的空虛,以及無休止的時間洪流?
隨著車輪轉動,遊魂式的影像試圖邀請觀眾不去追尋記憶的目的地或意義,而是直接感受光影的氛圍,並在流動的畫面中找到屬於自己的情感共鳴。
