Abstract

In both Qiu Yang’s A Gentle Night and Sameh Alaa’s I Am Afraid to Forget Your Face, a face-to-face encounter takes place between a distraught main character and a beloved they have lost. Even though the one deals with storge while the other with eros, I argue that both of these Palme d’Or-winning short films, through the concealing, framing, covering and revealing of faces, encourage audiences to use their imaginations and, as a result, to enter into a face-to-face encounter with the short film as well.

在《温柔的夜晚》和《我害怕忘记你的脸》中遇到真实和想象的面孔

在秋阳的《温柔的夜晚》和萨姆赫·阿拉的《我害怕忘记你的脸》中，悲痛欲断的主人公和他们失去的爱人都有一次面对面的相遇。尽管一部讲述的是存储，另一部讲述的是性爱，但我认为这两部获得金棕榈奖的短片，都通过对脸部的隐藏、框架、遮盖和揭露，鼓励观众发挥他们的想象力，从而也进入了与短片面对面的接触。

期刊介绍： The main purposes of SFS are: To stimulate ongoing research on individual short films as a basis for a better understanding of the art form To provide a flow of cutting-edge teaching materials that can be used in courses in which short films are either studied or produced, at film schools or universities To offer fresh inspiration to filmmakers and other professionals working with short films in connection with festivals, national film institutes, regional film centres, etc. While the principal focus is on the short fiction film, other classic forms – such as the short documentary, the short experimental film and the short animation film – are also covered from time to time. In each issue, two productions are singled out for comprehensive presentation and close study. For each film, the reader will find production data, an interview with the director, a shot-by-shot breakdown of the film with a still illustrating every shot, a number of peer-reviewed articles that illuminate the film from a variety of perspectives and a link enabling subscribers to view the film.
