韓國「首爾國際實驗電影節」又名 EXiS ，由流動

影像論壇於 2004 年創立，旨在放映實驗電影和藝

術家的流動影像，探索電影的未知形式和領域。他 們重視藝術家以原創視角製作的電影，敢於接受挑 戰和讓審美冒險，是亞洲少數仍然放映許多重要藝

術家的菲林電影的場所之一。

今年， EXiS 將慶祝成立 20 週年。他們每年放映約 120 至 140 部影片，包括「國際競賽」和「策展 單元」。2023 年，他們累計篩選播映了來自 40 多 個國家的 1 , 480 部參賽作品。

作為韓國和亞洲重要的實驗電影平台，EXiS 是首個將國 際知名電影製作人和藝術家引進韓國的電影單位，包括 Hollis Frampton (2005)、Jonas Mekas (2009)、Michael Snow (2010) 以及 Marcel Broodthaers (2013) 等。

自成立以來， EXiS 一直在電影節框架以外積極組 織放映，將韓國藝術家和電影作品推向國際舞台。 值得注意的包括《嵌入性：從 1960 年代至今韓國

的藝術影像》（泰特現代美術館， 2015 年）、《潛 伏 / 沉思─ 1960 年以來韓國藝術家的電影和錄像》 （錄像雙年展， 2016 年）、《韓國實驗動畫》（香 港藝術中心， 2019 年）等。

策展人的話

本節目以韓國早期實驗電影為關注點。要說 韓國實驗電影完全不在任何主流或建制機構 支持下培育出來，而是獨立地、斷斷續續 地發生和變化，也不算誇張。因此，儘管 個別作品取得了美學成就，節目並不倉促 地暗示這就是韓國早期實驗電影的代表性 趨勢。然而，基於當時韓國社會的政治狀況 和藝術實踐的條件，能在個別作品固有的， 或可推測的狀態下，希望能夠理出韓國實驗 電影歷史的脈絡，而一開始似乎是不可能。

Inhan CHO，節目策劃

‘Experimental Film and Video Festival in Seoul’, a.k.a EXiS, was founded in 2004 by Moving Image Forum in order to screen experimental films and artists’ moving images that explore the unknown forms and territories of cinema. They value artists’ films made with an original vision that take challenges and aesthetic adventures. The Festival is one of the few places in Asia that still screen works of many important artists who work with celluloid film.

This year, EXiS is celebrating their 20 th anniversary of the festival. Every year they screen about 120-140 films including international competitions and curated sections. In 2023, they have accumulated the screening of 1,480 works in total from over 40 nations, submitted for the competition programs.

As an important experimental film platform for Korea and Asia, EXIS is the first festival to introduce one of the most important filmmakers to Korea such as Hollis Frampton (2005), Jonas Mekas (2009), Michael Snow (2010), Marcel Broodthaers (2013) etc.

Since its inception, EXIS has been actively organizing screening programs outside the festival framework to bring the work of Korean artists and films to international stage. Notable ones include EMBEDDEDNESS: ARTIST FILMS AND VIDEOS FROM KOREA 1960s TO NOW (Tate Modern, 2015), Latency/Contemplation. Artist Films and Videos from South Korea since the 1960s (the Biennial of the Moving Image BIM, 2016), Korean Experimental Animations (Hong Kong Arts Centre, 2019) etc.

Curator's Notes

This program focuses on pioneering works showing the early Korean experimental film in a historical context. It is not an exaggeration to say that Korean experimental films were not cultivated based on the activities of any mainstream group or institutional support, but occurred and changed individually and intermittently. Therefore, despite the aesthetic achievements of individual works, this program does not hastily suggest that these are representative trends of early Korean experimental films. However, based on the socio-political situation in Korea at the time and the conditions for practicing artistic activities, which can be inherent in or speculated on individual works, we hope to discover the vague foundation of mapping the history of Korean experimental film, which seemed impossible in the first place. (This program is a modified version of the program in 2015, Embeddedness: Artist Films and Videos From Korea 1960s to Now originally curated for the Tate Modern in collaboration with the Korean Cultural Centre UK, EXiS and supported by LUX).

BODY ARCHIVE: CONTEMPORARY REENACTMENTS IN ASIAN CITIES I

表演日常 Mundane Truth

疫症蔓延後的真實，每每顯得光怪陸離。真實還 是同樣的真實、還是歷經反覆重演後的荒誕？ 「身體檔案：亞洲城市的當代重演 I 表演日常」

匯集四部來自不同背景的亞洲導演之短片作品， 以各自迴異的視角重構疫症後的現實生活，並 通過身體的律動與重演來發掘涉足真實的多重可 能性。

四部短片除了窺探個體在日常與環境中的生存狀 態，更透過身體牽引出每個城市所隱埋的過去與 未來，以藝術影像展演城亦如何因疫症的襲來而 變得脆弱且流動。不管是藏在城內一隅的秘密、 還是無法消散的畸零風景，也指向身體如何繼續 於不同空間中踽踽而行。

The truth that emerges in the wake of the pandemic seems so surreal. Is the truth still the same truth, or has it become absurd after repeating over and over?

‘Body Archive: Contemporary Reenactments in Asian Cities I Mundane Truth’ brings together four short films by Asian directors from different backgrounds, each offering a unique perspective on post-pandemic reality and exploring multiple possibilities to find the truth through movement of the body and reenactment. These four films not only delve into an individual's state of survival in daily life and environment, but also reveal the hidden past and future of each city through the body, as well as how it becomes vulnerable and fluid in facing the pandemic. Whether it's a secret that hides in a corner of the city or an indelible bizarre landscape, these films recount how the body continues to move on in solitude in different spaces.
