Director’s Statement 導演闡述
Reconstruction of New Life uses reenactment, documentary footage, and animation to depict the temporary reconstruction of the New Life Correction Center on a film set, echoing the fragility of historical memory. As victims of the White Terror gradually pass away, collective memory fades with them. Inspired by Pierre Nora’s concept of “sites of memory,” the director seeks to preserve this chapter of history through the medium of film.
《新生重建》透過重演、紀錄、與動畫，呈現片廠中重建的新生訓導處的短暫，呼應歷史記憶的脆弱。隨著白色恐怖受難者逐漸凋零，記憶也日漸淡去。導演受到「記憶場域」概念啟發，希望以影像保留這段集體記憶。
