Abstract

Becoming a feature film director is a privilege available to only a handful of people, no matter where in the world they live. In Oceania, access to filmmaking is arguably more constrained because the market conditions under which commercial films are produced do not favour small, geographically dispersed and linguistically distinct communities. Opportunities to make publicly funded, critically acclaimed Pacific films in metropolitan centres like Aotearoa New Zealand are vanishingly small. Often when they are made, these ‘art house’ Pacific films primarily appeal to audiences outside of the communities in which they are set. Stallone Vaiaoga-Ioasa has challenged this status quo by pioneering a mode of populist commercial filmmaking for Samoan (and other Pacific Island) audiences in the islands and across the diaspora. His commitment to making entertainment that is relevant to and reflects contemporary Samoan culture has been remarkable. On the eve of Vaiaoga-Ioasa’s fourth feature film release, filmmaker/academic Sarina Pearson sat down with him to talk about how he developed the ‘Stallone model’, the films he has made, and his plans for the future.

与史泰龙对话
成为故事片导演是少数人的特权,无论他们生活在世界的哪个地方。在大洋洲,获得电影制作的机会可以说受到更大的限制,因为制作商业电影的市场条件不利于地理上分散和语言上不同的小社区。在新西兰奥特罗阿这样的大都市中心拍摄公共资助、广受好评的太平洋电影的机会微乎其微。通常,这些“艺术片”太平洋电影在制作时,主要吸引的是它们所处社区以外的观众。史泰龙(Stallone Vaiaoga-Ioasa)挑战了这一现状,为萨摩亚(以及其他太平洋岛屿)的观众和海外侨民开创了一种民粹主义商业电影制作模式。他致力于制作与当代萨摩亚文化相关并反映当代萨摩亚文化的娱乐节目。在Vaiaoga-Ioasa的第四部电影发行前夕,电影制作人/学者Sarina Pearson与他坐下来谈论了他是如何发展“史泰龙模式”的,他制作的电影,以及他对未来的计划。
