「澳門紀錄新勢力」- 公開組入選作品

土生葡人是葡萄牙人與華人在澳門所生的混血後代，這些人不只透過獨有的外貌證明他們是中西交匯的結晶品，他們的習俗、語言及日常生活的點滴更是多元文化混合的最好證明，算得是澳門活著的歷史。然而，在全球一體化趨勢下飛速變遷的新澳門裡面，這群代表澳門歷史的人群將何去何從？鏡頭把這些澳門兒女的舉手投足捕捉下來，再讓攝影機成為他們內心的傳聲筒，將這個族群紀錄下來，讓下一代、下下一代都能夠看到這些活著的歷史。

“ Local Docu Power 2007” – Selected Work, Open Category

The Macanese, Creole descendents of the Portuguese and Chinese inhabitants of Macao, are the living history of their terra natal (birthplace). These people are not only a physical proof of the harmonious blending between East and West. Their culture, their patua (patois), as well as their customs best illustrate this multiculturalism. However, with globalization and the uncertainty of their continuance in the post-colonial era, what does the future hold for them? Through our camera, their chuchumecas (small talk, gossip), joyful spirit, and love for their terra (land) are captured, documenting the surviving moments of this “sunset community”. This documentary also acts as a megaphone, spreading and leaving a trace of the voices of the Filhos da Terra (Sons of the Land) for eternity…
