大家晚安，有小小好消息跟大家分享。
(The English version is below.)
我今年在英國皇家藝術學院(Royal College of Art)的畢業電影短片作品 Narstalgia，主旨講述發生在北極地區的環境憂傷(Eco-grief)與鄉痛(Solastalgia)現象，目前已正式入選為巴黎ARFF國際影展(ARFF Paris International Film Awards )的評審團環球獎、最佳學生電影，並獲得倫敦獨立電影獎(London Independent Film Awards)的最佳實驗電影短片，以上皆入選角逐年度決賽，有機會明年春天於巴黎與倫敦的影展現場實體放映。
此外，我與團隊夥伴將我執導的這部實驗電影改編製作成為投影映射3D動畫作品，也已確定入選東京國際投影映射大賞( Tokyo International Projection Mapping Awards)的總決賽，這週六(11/14)將於日本東京國際展示中心(Tokyo Big Sight)的大型外牆前現場放映，在眾多日本當地與國際新銳數位藝術家面前呈現，因應疫情主辦單位同時將線上直播，並於當晚公布最終大賽名次。
特別謝謝我的製作團隊：演員 葉媚、攝助 小賢、聲音設計師 Andrew、平面設計師 柏宇、穩定設備支援 派立飛(台灣)。
謝謝分別指導我電影與投影的兩位導師Debbie、Yiyun，給我動畫與劇情意見的Aco、若昕，在冰島接受訪問的Þórhildur、Hjalti。
也謝謝一直以來所有幫助過我與這支作品的家人、貴人。
雖然這些影展與競賽的肯定跟坎城、威尼斯影展等藝術電影界頂級殊榮距離還很遠，但身為目標成為新銳電影導演與東西方文化擺渡人的我，這僅是我在國際舞台踏出的第一小步。並且，能讓台灣(Taiwan)的名字出現在世界各國的得獎與入圍作品中，有機會讓台灣的文化實力給更多人看見，已讓我感到欣慰。
這支8分鐘的短片身為台灣人的我所導，與夥伴在英國倫敦進行前期研究與後製、在冰島與北海道進行拍攝、研究的議題發生在格陵蘭與冰島等北極圈國家，前後耗時2年半。之後我會繼續努力收集這世界上的重要故事，並讓那些微弱而珍貴的聲音能被世界聽見。
再次謝謝大家。
Robert

Hi there,
Here is good news to share with you. My film NARSTALGIA, which is a project concerning eco-grief and solastalgia in the Arctic, has been officially selected by ARFF Paris International Film Awards 2020 in the ARFF Global Awards & Best Student Film. It's also been awarded as the Best Experimental Short Film in London Independent Film Awards 2020 and might be shown in the physical screening during the festival next year.
Besides, our team has converted the film mentioned above to a projection mapping project, which has been official selected as the finalist of the Tokyo International Projection Mapping Awards, and it will be shown in the screening at Tokyo Big Sight on 14th November Saturday with many Japanese and international digital artist.
May I deeply appreciate all the excellent works of my team members: Yo-Bi, Sam Cho, Andrew, and Bo-Yu, as well as the significant support from my lovely tutors: Debbie and Yiyun, my colleagues: Aco and Ruo, the interviewee: Þórhildur、Hjalti, and Pilotfly TW.
Most importantly, thanks very much to all the people in my life helping me and the project.
This 8-minutes short film has a such highly international filmmaking process. A Taiwanese director with his team filmed in Iceland and Hokkaido, Japan, did the research, pre-production, and post-production in the UK, and the research itself is related to the issues in Greenland, Iceland, and other areas in the Arctic.
They might be not top-class awards in the industry, yet it’s just a tiny step of mine to be an outstanding international film director and artist, and I will definitely keep collecting those precious stories and value in the world, trying to tell those stories in a creative way. Again, Cheers!
Sincerely,
Robert
