2024新加坡·德国短片·同性
导演:傅秀璇 Charmaine Poh
本片记录四组新加坡同志家庭,伴侣对孩子的告白成为画外音,镜头特写着树叶、家常料理、女孩的发辫、飘然空中的泡泡、小小手心中的蜗牛,音画建构一个柔软开阔的空间,以此抗衡外界之固。天时、地利,你的爱,我的想象,天下之至柔,驰骋天下之至坚。
What’s softest… is a glimpse of queer parenthood in Singapore, where such families are illegitimate under the eyes of the law. The hybrid documentary film combines interviews with a constructed communal space for play and imagination. Taking its title from Ursula K. Le Guin’s rendition of the Dao De Jing, the film gathers sensibilities of the natural world, Eastern cosmology, and interdependence to present queerhood as an open field of possibility, one brimming with life that is to come.
