我們的話 

3月是春天的季節，傳統上是象徵新開始的季節。

經過三年疫情，防疫終告落幕，社會彷彿又回到三年前那樣熱鬧。但是，我們都知道三年來有多麽的不容易，而澳門的春天，真的要來了嗎？

春天或許有另一重意義，它是一個乍暖還寒的季節，公園的枯葉還未掃清，鳥兒還未遷徙，春天應該是一個過渡期，是一個回顧過去，然後整裝出發的季節，因此春天不等於遺忘，而是帶著過去寒冬的經歷與教訓，迎向下一個階段。

今年「澳門當代電影及錄像展」共放映26部本地作品，其中10部來自澳門文化中心的「澳門影像新勢力」拍攝資助計劃，另外12部來自全澳公開徵集中的遴選，還有4部由本澳四間大專院校（澳門大學、澳門理工大學、澳門科技大學、聖若瑟大學澳門）推薦參與。作品題材上都有一種呈現過渡及適應的狀態，無論是仍未走出的疫情，或是原生家庭或成長上的種種創傷，面對及回顧有時是療癒的第一步，而重新關注澳門的生態發展及大自然，也讓我們懂得慢下來，換一個角度思考。除本地作品外，影展亦為本地觀眾及電影人帶來鄰近出色的11部作品，它們自香港、中國及台灣，本地創作者能一探華語地區的年青創作者們的視野和水平，然後回看自身。

同時承接去年，本屆也持續邀請香港資深影評人喬奕思擔任初審，從近40部作品選出最優秀的12部作品入圍公開放映。聯同今屆「澳門影像新勢力」資助拍攝作品，一同競逐「評審大獎」。設立本地作品「評審大獎」競賽，邀請兩岸三地有份量的影展重點人物擔任評審，包括中國西寧FIRST青年影展創辦人宋文、香港ifva獨立短片及影像媒體比賽節目總監范可琪，及台灣金穗獎策展人陳惟真，讓本地作品能夠得到專業的意見及嘉許。

今年影展現場亦設有多場映後座談，讓本地電影人與觀眾對話交流，同時觀眾可以行動支持，為喜愛的作品投上神聖一票，選出「觀眾票選獎」。 

在這個春天裡，邀請你們一起來看看屬於本地影像創作者的視角，看他們如何紀錄了過去的寒冬，如何重拾自己的節奏，熱身羽翼，讓過去沉重的經驗，成為我們的走向未來的動力。

影展見！

Our Words.

March is spring, the season of new beginnings in tradition.

After three years, the epidemic prevention has finally come to an end, and the society seems to be back to the bustle it was three years ago. However, we all know how difficult it has been in the past three years, but is spring in Macao really coming?

Spring may have another meaning. It is a season of warming and cold. The dried leaves still in the park, and the birds have not yet migrated. Spring is  a transitional period to look back at the past and then gear up. Therefore, spring does not mean forgetting, but brings the experiences and lessons of the past difficult season to face the next stage.

This year's "Macao Films and Videos Panorama" screened a total of 26 local works, of which 10 came from the Macao Cultural Centre's “Local View Power" film shooting subsidy program, another 12 were selected from the open call locally, and 4 more It is recommended by four tertiary institutions in Macau (University of Macao, Macao Polytechnic University, Macao University of Science and Technology, University of Saint Joseph Macao). There is a state of transition and adaptation in the subject matter of the works, whether it is still a loop in the epidemic effect, or various traumas in the family or growth, facing and looking back is sometimes the first step in healing.  And refocusing on Macao’s ecological development and nature also let us know how to slow down and rethink from another angle.  In addition to local works, the film festival also brings local audiences and filmmakers 11 outstanding works from Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan.  Local creators can explore the vision and level of young creators in Chinese-speaking regions, and then look back at own self.

This year will continue to invite veteran Hong Kong film critic Joyce Yang to serve as the first-round selection jury, and select the best 12 works from nearly 40 works to be shortlisted for public screening.  Compete for the “Grand Jury Award" together with the works subsidised by this year's “Local View Power".  Influential film festivals’ key figures are invited to serve as judges, including Song Wen, founder of FIRST International Film Festival in Xining, China, Kattie Fan, program director of ifva Hong Kong, and Esther Chen, the curator of Taiwan Golden Harvest Award, allows local works to receive professional advices and praises. 

This year, there will also be a number of post-screening discussions, allowing local filmmakers to communicate with the audience.  At the same time, the audience can take action to support, vote for their favourite works, and select the “Audience Choice Award”.

In this spring, we invite you to take a look at the perspective of local filmmakers, and see how they recorded the past challenges, how to regain their rhythm and warming up, and let the heavy experiences of the past become our future power.

See you at MFVP!
