以居民护鸡事件为题材 本地导演短片却无缘在新民阁首映

本地新锐导演张俊峰为新民阁居民拍摄短片《新民》,却遭居民委会拒绝,无缘在新民阁首映。

《新民》短片以新民阁曾引起的争议野鸡为题材,短片内以本地语言特色为主,刻画一名65岁独居老妇与新民阁组屋楼下的野鸡作伴的日子。

去年,因当局收到多宗投诉后,欲捕杀掉这些居住在该区的鸡群,新民阁(Sin Ming Court)为是否要让原鸡(red jungle fowl)继续在该社区栖息,进行投票

逾千居民中,有90巴仙的人支持不干扰鸡群,让他们继续“住下去”。根据投票结果显示,居民们决定继续和鸡群和平相处,同时保住了这些鸡群的栖息地。

大多数居民认为鸡并不会干扰他们的生活,但清晨鸡啼扰梦,多少会让人困扰。

新民阁居民保留鸡群,本地导演获灵感拍摄

导演张峻峰对于居民们集体善举而感动,决定借此题材,将新民阁人与野鸡和平共处的现象拍摄下来。他向《海峡时报》透露,“在2017年时,当我知道当局因为20多通的居民通报而决定要扑杀鸡群时,我感到相当愤怒”

因此他当时想象有个居民为了拯救鸡群而在社区内跑来跑去,捕捉这些鸡拯救它们,后续才将这些想象延伸为短片。

短片内由本地舞台剧演员吴悦娟女士出演,讲述一名独居妇女在发现执法人员因鸡群的增长而欲捕捉鸡后,为了拯救他们,将他们捉回屋内养。

居委会“怕让执法机构难堪”

尽管在拍摄期间被居民拒绝,但在经过一番劝说,也说服居民一同拍摄。

然而,在首映地点上则被居委会与民众联络所拒绝,居委会认为,此短片将执法机构难堪,为了能够与执法机构有良好的合作关系,他们希望能够以更中立的方式呈现。

同时居委会也强调,虽然有九成的人支持鸡留下来,但民众联络所也不能无视反对鸡留下的一成居民。

为首映地点奔波却无果,将短片放上脸书

为了能够争取在新民阁首映的机会,张峻峰也会见了该区议员,但在等待一个多月后,仅得到让他在碧山民众联络所首映的答案。

“这并非是我想要的结果,短片的创作灵感来自新民阁的鸡与居民,我当然希望他在新民阁举办首映”,他表示。

经过多方协调下,他最后决定将短片放上脸书,于本月8日首映,短片也引发网民的关注,截至目前已获得2万余次的观看次数,408转载。

许多网友表示喜欢阿嫲的演技,也为不能在新民阁首映而感到遗憾。

他在访问结束前强调:“希望《新民》让大家思考人与动物的关系。我们盖房子,动物为了生存唯有跑到别的地方,到底谁侵犯了谁?”

张峻峰是《回程667》里短片《客》的导演,去年“才华横溢出新秀”半决赛参赛者演绎的微电影,他是导演之一。
