Hanzi《漢字》
榮獲新加坡國際設計影展開幕片,以及城市遊牧影展閉幕片與首獎的肯定,《漢字》是一部用中文漢字探討國際設計、視覺文化和身份認同的紀錄片。片中探討了許多議題包含語言如何塑造身份、手寫在數位時代角色等。由於近日亞洲文化的興起以及對字型設計的講究,《漢字》訪談了來自世界各地的設計師與相關領域的意見領袖,包括 Chineasy 創辦人薛曉嵐、著名的日本字體設計師小林章、香港首位中文字體設計師柯熾堅、還有世界上最後一個正體中文鉛字鑄字廠日星鑄字行。 《漢字》鼓勵觀眾透過全然不同的設計觀點,重新審視和思考自己的文化與身份認同。
Hanzi is a feature-length documentary exploring international design, visual culture and identity through the lens of modern Chinese typography.
Chinese is one of the oldest and most used languages in the world, yet it is perceived as difficult to learn. Furthermore, there has been a lack of discussion on Chinese typography and its transition into the digital era compared to its western counterparts. Recently there has been a renaissance and reviewing of Chinese characters in Asia and internationally, with typography and lettering books often topping the best selling books, and more and more typographical courses and workshops being held in the cities. We think that’s worth exploring to the discussion of design and cultural identity.
This film is not just about Chinese characters, and we wanted to keep the ideas and messages applicable to all languages and cultures. Exploring universal subjects such as "How does language shape identity? What role does handwriting play in the digital age?”, Hanzi encourages audiences around the world to revisit and rethink their own culture, language and identity.
