#失身記在墨爾本國際電影節 🤩

Bodyless, award-winning VR work by renowned Taiwanese director Hsin-Chien Huang, is now ready to be experienced at Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF)!

In Bodyless, the audience experiences an ultra surreal journey through the eyes of a political prisoner, who became a ghost after his death in prison. Trying to find his way home, he travels through a spectacular and fantastical underworld interwoven with nature. Will he find his way home and finally be free? Or digital domination has replaced political oppression in the past, only to disembody him again from his humanity and reduce it into digits and commodities? His search for home - can it be a powerful metaphor of the search for lost humanity in our digital age? Bodyless delivers a thought-provoking “ghost story” of the most unusual kind. Visually stunning, emotionally intense and spiritually haunting… absolutely not to be missed!

From August 5th to 22ed, 2021, films featured in MIFF, 2021 can be viewed at various venues in the city of Melbourne or online! Paid online-viewing is available through the official MIFF Play service.

台灣導演黃心健 的得獎VR作品《失身記》即將在第69屆墨爾本國際電影節 (Melbourne International Film Festival, MIFF) 開放體驗！

《失身記》帶領觀眾進入超現實虛擬實境體驗，化身鬼魂，飄盪在臺灣戒嚴的暗黑歷史與數位控制的想像世界。 一名於政府祕密實驗中的政治犯在獄中孤獨地死去，老人死後成為孤魂野鬼，墮入冥界之中。根據台灣民俗信仰，農曆鬼月地獄之門大開，鬼魂試著找尋回家的路。透過老人的眼睛，文化與自然交織成豐富的精神世界。然而，一股機械力量開始腐化精神世界。。。身心都飽受迫害的老人，是否終究能回家？他的靈魂能否得到救贖？在《失身記》中，過往的戒嚴統治及現代的數位科技合而為一，形成對人們生活與信仰對立的深沉壓迫，將真實而複雜的人性變成了虛擬的電腦像素與謀利的商業工具。或許老人的旅程也是每一個人的旅程，我們都在尋找靈魂的家、真正的自由。《失身記》是個讓人深刻省思的“鬼故事”，生動的 VR 感官體驗將帶領您進入一個充滿了人性與靈性、深具文化色彩與豐富美感的奇幻旅程。

今年邁入第69屆的MIFF於8月5日至22日盛大舉行。觀眾可以選擇前往墨爾本各地的劇院及戲院欣賞電影節影片，或者透過MIFF Play的官方服務，採用線上觀賞的方式付費體驗，暢覽今年度的精彩影片。

「歷史將宣判我們無罪！」
李卓人8.31案法庭陳情書

法官閣下，我在此認罪，但我在捍衛人民和平遊行和集會自由上，並沒有做錯任何事。我相信歷史將會宣判我們無罪。在此請讓我向你講述更多我的背景，那樣你就能更理解我為何要為了香港的未來，與人民共同走上街頭。

#新時代由政治犯開創

作為一名基督徒，我在復活節期間聽讀經員閱讀聖經，提醒了我，耶穌為世人犧牲，被釘上十字架，使罪人與神和解。從被捕到被控到被彼拉多（Pilate）判死刑，祂也是一名政治犯，沒有犯罪，但因為服務窮人和傳福音，而威脅到猶太統治階層。

縱觀人類歷史文明，我們現在享有的權利，也是由一眾政治犯，諸如甘地、馬丁路德金和納爾遜·曼德拉所開創的。在80年代，我是「香港反種族隔離運動」的主席，我一直將納爾遜·曼德拉在1963年遭審判所言銘記於心。他說：「願意為我的理想而犧牲自己生命。」他的理想是爭取南非黑人的平權，然後就被判刑27年。我為他在1994年當選南非總統而感到興奮，他給予了全世界受壓逼的人民希望，讓他們知道透過堅持不懈的鬥爭，可以達致公義。

#曼德拉給我的啟發

我花了一些時間去講曼德拉帶給我的啟發，因為我是從1978年起投身到勞工權益和民主運動的。我畢生的理想，就是讓基層和被壓逼者勇於發聲和站起來爭取屬於他們的權利。每當那些被壓逼者起來捍衛他們的權利，為尊嚴而抗爭時，我也會受到鼓舞，並得到力量去繼續面對香港正面臨的艱苦奮鬥和挑戰。我曾問自己，沒有抗爭，我的人生將會是如何？這已是我第43年投身於民主運動，法官閣下，你必須明白當我目睹國家權力如何使用武力鎮壓人民，令香港人受傷、受牢獄之苦或是流亡，以及香港民主倒退，人民的權利遭剝奪之時，心裏的痛苦和折磨。我看到我的理想正在崩潰，但即使被黑暗籠罩，也無阻我繼續為理想奮鬥的決心。為了這一理想，我甘願承受任何懲罰。

法官閣下可能會說，法律就是法律，而我好像沒有就八三一案展露出絲毫悔意。我希望法官閣下明白，我是何等重視人民透過言論和集會所彰顯的自由。這是弱勢和受壓逼者尋求公義的唯一路徑。剝奪了這種權利，形同制度對人民施暴。我不願看見香港人活在建基於制度暴力的管治之中。因此，我會竭盡所能，伸張人們有尊嚴及和平遊行去發達意見的權利。

#最壞的尚未來臨
#法庭要睜開眼睛

我十分尊重法官閣下維護法治的熱誠。在此，我希望能引用已故法官Ruth Bader Ginsburg的話：

「法官們會不斷思考和改變，我希望倘若今日法庭有盲點，明日它將會睜開眼。」

我十分敬佩Ginsburg為了性別平權奮鬥一生，成就斐然。她告訴我們，法官應該與時並進，趕上不斷在變遷的時代。在香港，最壞的尚未來臨，我們需要法律界人士去睜開雙眼，觀看人民的苦難，並反思法律在這個時代的立足點，如何隨時代變遷而轉變，以捍衞人民的尊嚴與權利。

"History will absolve us"
Submission of Lee Cheuk Yan to the Court

Your Honour, I plead guilty but I’ve done no wrong in affirming the rights of people to peaceful procession and I believe history will absolve us. May I give you more on my background so as your honour can understand why I decided to march with the people for the future of Hong Kong.

As a Christian, during Easter when the scripture was read, I was reminded how Christ went to meet his fate on the cross, sacrificing for mankind to reconcile sinners with God. From His arrest to his prosecution to his death sentencing by Pilate, he was a political prisoner who committed no crime apart from seen to be a threat to the Jewish Hierarchy by serving the poor and oppressed and preaching the good news.

Throughout history of mankind, the rights that humankind now enjoyed were pioneered by political prisoners from Gandhi to Martin Luther King to Nelson Mandela. I was the Chairman of Hong Kong anti apartheid movement back in the 80s and I always remember the determination of Nelson Mandela when he said during his trial back in 1963: “an ideal for which I am prepared to die for.”. His ideal was the equality for black South African and then he spent 27 years in jail. I was thrilled that in 1994, he was elected President of South Africa, giving hope to oppressed all over the world that justice can be achieve through the persistent struggle of the people.

I went to length about his inspiration to me personally because I started my activism starting 1978 for labour rights and democracy. My lifetime ideal is the empowerment of the poor and oppressed to speak out, to rise up for their rights. Whenever the oppressed assert their rights to fight for their dignity, I feel myself also empowered and inspired to continue the difficult struggle and challenges facing Hong Kong. I asked myself, what is my life without the struggle. The struggle is my life, I cannot imagine my life without it. It had been forty three years of struggle for me and your Honour must understand my deep felt pain and sufferings to see how the State Power had been using brute force against the people and the sacrifices of so many Hongkongers who were injured, jailed or exiled, also to witness the deprivation of the basic rights of the people and the regression in democracy. I saw my ideal crumbling but I will continue the struggle even though darkness is surrounding us. It is an ideal for which I am prepared for any sanction.

Your Honour may say the law is the law, I seems not show any remorse in breaching law in this trial for August 31st. I hope Your Honour understand the utmost importance I put on the rights to freedom of expression through speech or assembly. This is the only avenue the weak and oppressed can have to right the wrongs on them. If deprived, I will call this systemic violence on the people and I do not want to see Hong Kong rule on the basis of such systemic violence. Therefore I would do my utmost to affirm the rights of people to a dignified and peaceful procession to express themselves.

Your Honour must be passionate about upholding the law and I respect your ideal. I hope I can quote from the late Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg:

“Justices continue to think and can change. I am ever hopeful that if the court has a blind spot today, its eye will be open tomorrow”

I was very impressed with her passion for gender equality and how she fought her whole life for gender equality and was able to achieve so much. Her message was time changes and judges should catch up with time. For Hong Kong, the worst may yet to come, and we need the legal profession to open their eyes to the suffering of the people and reflect on which side the law is with and how to changes with time for the advancement of the rights and dignity of the people.

I humbly submit myself to your sentencing and whatever your sentence, I have no regret for standing up for the rights of the people.
