忘不了1999/12/20．Not to Forget

導演 Dir 朱佑人 Chu Iao Ian 1999/ 23’

忘不了的是1999年12月20日澳門回歸中國的日子，那天對一批住在葡國的葡國人特別有感觸, 他們都曾經待過澳門, 歡渡過他們最年少輕狂的歲月, 他們忘不了的是澳門這個家。導演1999年初有機會第一次踏足葡國, 手裡拿著一個曾在澳居住的葡國人的電話, 一通一通的電話帶導演認識一個又一個對澳門情深難忘的人，他們的說話成了對澳門最愛的詩篇, 而在導演的心裡, 除了震憾外, 還有他的反省……

影片在回歸夜一個廣場上放映, 是當年極少另類回歸節目之一。

導演

朱佑人，澳門出生，美國南加州大學電影系碩士學位, 畢業作品「亞明的澳門」參加多個影展。九九完成第二部作品『沉默澳門人我不是』，作品繼續關注澳門人對澳門城市的感受。同年為澳門回歸拍攝了『忘不了, 1999年12月20日』，並在回歸當晚在三燈放映。作品更參加香港國際電影節。除拍攝與澳門有關的作品外，還致力推廣電影/錄影文化，於二00零年成立「拍板視覺藝術團」，成為澳門最活躍的影像團體，舉辦多個放映會，錄影班，入中學教授錄影及舉辨多個電影/錄影節。

The date not to forget is 20th December, 1999. It was a sentimental day to a group of Portuguese in Portugal. They cannot forget Macau, their home where they spent their wild, young days.

The director set foot on Portugal for the first time in 1999. What he had on hand was the phone number of a Portuguese who used to live in Macau. A series of phone calls brought along friends one after another. Their deep affection and fond memories of Macau were affectionate verse of the city. The director, aside from being overwhelmed, had an awakening.

The film was shown in a square on the night Macau returned to China, one of the very few alternative programmes celebrating the return of Macau at that time.
