2010德国·缅甸纪录片
导演:帖莫奈 The Maw Naing 裴貌山 Pe Maung Same
2008年,納吉斯氣旋重創緬甸,孕育稻米的三角洲被海水淹沒,舉目所及皆是爛泥瓦礫,慘重的災情讓緬甸成為世界焦點。緬甸人民流離失所,日夜為了飲用水與糧食所苦,然而人道救援卻因政治而受阻,災後現場的影像也因政府資訊管制而缺失。此為首部由緬甸創作者自製而成的紀錄長片,以攝影機見證並聆聽受災戶的故事,於患難中彰顯信仰與團結的力量。
基於安全因素,影片拍攝者原以化名方式於國際影展間放映,直至2012年第二屆緬甸瓦旦電影節方揭露真名。裴貌山:「我對於片中受訪者敢在鏡頭前露面,而我們卻因安全因素無法使用真名,感到羞愧。我想向他們道歉,希望他們能諒解我們。現在事情已公開,我們有機會透過在緬甸放映本片,來向他們道歉。」
In May 2008, Cyclone Nargis hit Myanmar's Ayeyarwaddy Delta, claiming 140,000 lives. Despite a filming ban, young Burmese filmmakers clandestinely visited devastated villages after the storm, capturing surreal scenes of loss and resilience. Their emotional footage reveals the profound impact of Nargis, depicting a world where life and death intertwine, altering countless lives forever.
For security reasons, the filmmakers couldn’t reveal their names and they used pseudonyms. But for the first time, they screened the film with their real names at the 2nd Wathann Film Festival in 2012. One of the directors Pe Maung Same said the screening of Nargis for the first time in Myanmar was their apology to those who were in the film. ‘I feel ashamed that we couldn’t use our real names due to security reasons when people in the movie dared to show their faces in front of the camera. I want to apologise to them. I want them to understand us. Things are open now and we get the chance to apologise by screening the film here,’ he said.
