就这样吗?

A short film by Nine Years Theatre, released on 21 January 2021

“这个距离不足以捕捉我的整个身体。我把镜头往上调，就会失去我的腿；往下移，却断了头。” 我们如何面对一个没有面容的敌人？ 当瘟疫再次袭击，我们将做好准备。。。这就是我们的信念。 当疫情侵蚀我们的基本人性时，我们才了解，什么是坚守，哪些会改变。 我们如何在数码中
存活，在虚拟中存在？ 一字一节，审视众人的身体，重塑我们的心态。 九年剧场的短片作品《就这样吗？》是七个角色在一场近未来瘟疫中，居家抗疫的幻想片段 。借此停下看看，所谓的新非常态。
“There’s not enough distance to frame my body. When I shift the camera up, I lose my legs; tilt it down and I lose my head.” How do we face an enemy with no face? When a pandemic hits again, we will be more prepared… or so we thought. When it gnaws at the fundamentals of our nature and being, some things change and some do not. How do we live in the digital, and how do we feel alive? By bits and bytes, framing and reframing our bodies and mind. A short film by Nine Years Theatre, Is That It? is a dreamt up footage of 7 residents in a lockdown, amidst a near-future pandemic. A way to pause and look at the new un-normal.
