LIBERATED CINEMA CLUB is a workshop led by experimental filmmaker J Triangular and artist CHEN An An. During the workshop, participants learn how to use accessible tools and materials to make experimental films. This workshop embodies the idea of queer collectivity and DIY aesthetics and encourages participants to redefine what is commonly perceived as experimental film or filmmaking. We hope to emancipate and empower each participant and create a LGBTQ+ friendly co-learning, art-making environment. This exhibition is curated by J Triangular, CHEN An An, and all the participants involved in this wo

THE WOMEN NOW-WAVE
CO-OP 女性浪潮合作社 / WORKSHOP WITH THE WOMEN MAKE WAVES FILM FESTIVAL - TAIPEI - 2021

本電影工作坊將提供一個彼此可以相互支持的交流空間，帶領學員一同探索敘述故事的過程，製作屬於自己的影片、屬於我們的家庭電影。本工作坊將拋開既定對於電影製作及電影的想像，並且捨棄理論架構的累積，所有參加工作坊的學員皆不需有實作經驗及知識背景，哥倫比亞籍酷兒實驗電影導演和多媒體詩人畢七月（J Triangular）將以另類教學方式讓創作回到最原初的狀態，帶領學員運用唾手可得的創作媒材和拍攝器材，讓創作更與我們的日常結合，並透過影像更認識自己。

POETIC ACTIVISM 

Marking the inauguration of the Asian Art Museum’s TRILOGY series, After Hope brings together artists, scholars, curators, and activists for an interdisciplinary and critical examination of hope’s potential to animate form, method, and action.

A workshop to experience the present as an imaginative and material resource for poetic activism. Participants were invited to create short testimonies and to become agents of change through works that explored creative engagements with diasporic imaginaries. Projects were developed through playful exercises over four weeks through creative writing, deep listening, honesty, DIY video language, and non-traditional approaches to film history. Video activism demands an aesthetic of urgency, using the video camera as a deterrent against violence and as a challenge of the audiovisual structures of repression and surveillance. Through the workshop, participants from different parts of the world developed short videos of aspects of their daily lives, inviting memories to reveal themselves. Reflecting on feelings of separation and isolation, rebellion and togetherness, each participant was invited to think about how they wished to represent themselves to the world. The 7 videos presented below engage in themes of immigration, the loss of sense and senses during the pandemic, ruminations over the dreamed arrival of an HIV / AIDS vaccine, and personal narratives that are part love letter and part manifesto.

詩性的行動主義

作為一個工作坊, 當前的經驗是詩性錄像的想像與物質性資源, 邀請參與者創作簡短的見證宣言,成為改革的推動者。詩意與離散的想像交織, 以玩味的方式融入創意寫作,深度聆聽,開放透明,DIY錄像語言和非傳統電影方法等元素。錄像行動主義運用迫切美學, 攝影機的嚇阻作用可以對抗暴力,抵制壓迫與監控的視聽結構。透過工作坊,來自世界各地的參與者錄製短片作為生活的一部分,像是日常的動作的反射,回憶從中顯露出來。反映出分離與孤立的感受, 向世界展現與想像自己的另一種方式。攝影機作為身體本身,製作劃域自我療癒的影像。錄像單元匯集呈現的七部影像,內容涉及移民,在大流行中喪失的感知,疑惑愛滋疫苗什麼時候到來,和以錄像書信的形式探索酷兒個人敘事: 是情書也是宣言。
