Synopsis 故事大綱

A mesmerising dancer’s eyes were consumed by relentless flashes that haunted his graceful movements. Seeking remedy, he dutifully ate pineapple, hoping to expel these unwelcome guests. Yet, time wore on, trapping him in a hazy, aimless drift – his dance now heavy with futility.

舞姿曼妙的男人,某日眼眶開始佔滿揮之不去的不規則光影。它們隨他跳動的身軀依然盤踞在視線之中。在求醫的歷程他嘗試遵循醫囑啃食鳳梨,以驅散這些視野裡的不速之客。而隨著時間流動,他仍舊在這毫無進展的日常裡,昏沉的飛舞著。

Director’s Statement 導演闡述

The short film Nuptial Flight explores floaters, inspired by director Chan’s lifelong experience with this condition. Floaters—drifting shapes in vision—are linked metaphorically to today’s information overload. Chan connects these visual disturbances to the overwhelming flood of media, misinformation, and irrelevant content saturating our consciousness, blurring clarity and judgment.
This deluge erodes critical thinking, trapping us in fragmented, shallow information. Nuptial Flight seeks to awaken audiences to media manipulation and inspire reflection on autonomy in navigating the sea of data. It poses a vital question: while escape may be impossible, can we still preserve our ability to think independently?

《昏飛》試圖透過飛蚊症這個病,以隱喻、象徵手法影射資訊爆炸下的社會之中的媒體、資訊、信息如同無數的「飛蚊」,也藉由吃鳳梨這件事,以諷刺手法探討媒體中存在的真實與虛假之間的界線。利用此創作嘗試喚醒人們對媒體操控的警覺,反思媒體對人們心智的影響,重新審視自己在大環境中的位置、選擇與角色,並發出提問,我們是否仍存有選擇的空間或餘地?
