GE2012-34
歷史沒有「如果」，千金難買「早知道」。危機未至前，鮮有人具備妙算神機，而能洞悉先機；危機降臨時，考驗的是誰能發現契機，而不坐失良機。紀錄片為我們忠實地留下社會發展的生態軌跡，記錄危機的同時亦透露絲絲轉機。CNEX和通識精選四部紀錄片，主題包括金融經濟﹑政策民生﹑個人發展與及價值觀念。
放映會後將有嘉賓分享，詳情容後公布。

Made by international award-winning documentary maker David Sington, THE FLAW tells the story of the credit bubble that caused the financial crash. Through interviews with some of the world's leading economists, including housing expert Robert Shiller, Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, and economic historian Louis Hyman, as well as Wall Street insiders and victims of the crash including Ed Andrews - a former economics correspondent for The New York Times who found himself facing foreclosure - and Andrew Luan, once a bond trader at Deutsche Bank now running his own Wall Street tour guide business, the film presents an original and compelling account of the toxic combination of forces that nearly destroyed the world economy.
The film shows how excessive income inequality in society leads to economic instability. At a time when economic theory and public policy is being re-examined this film reminds us that without addressing the root causes of the crisis the system may collapse again and next time it may not be possible for governments to rescue it.

《垃圾圍城》Beijing Besieged by Waste
導演: 王久良
China / 2010 / 83 mins
In Mandarin with Chinese and English subtitles
從2008年10月開始，自由攝影師王久良，懷揣捉襟見肘的費用走訪了北京周邊的大型垃圾場，拍攝了10,000多張照片。這些垃圾場往往有上萬平方米的規模，分佈在北京的五環和六環附近，當他在Google Earth上用黃色圖示把垃圾場所在的位置和座標標示出來時，畫面驚人地呈現出北京城被密密麻麻的垃圾場包圍的圖景。於是王久良給這個項目命名為“垃圾圍城”。
Photographer Wang Jiuliang turns his lens upon the grim spectacle of garbage, excrement, refuse, and wreckage heaped upon the landscape that surrounds China's mega-metropolis, Beijing. Eking out a hazardous living within are the scavengers, mostly rural migrants, who struggle to maintain familial and cultural structures amid the bleakest of occupations. Wang shows the desecration of once-vital farmlands and rivers in the shadow of China's gleaming cities and planes and super-trains; the unholy cycle of construction's consumption and waste, and poignant images of the daily lives of scavengers who toil at their own peril.

In English with Chinese subtitles
網路發展到智慧型手機的演進，通訊與科技將現代人的一切生活與文化活動，跨越時空地連結在一起。 科學一詞在希臘字源中所指即是切割，人類不斷尋找不可切割的粒子或終極答案，卻忽略了人與人、 人與自然、與世界的連結。本片充滿符號與隱喻的活潑動畫，穿插大量歷史影像、多媒體素材，呈現歷史重大事件以及當前危機。導演為文明發展提出一個省思性的回顧，同時其自身家庭成員的互動觀察及父女的溫情自白，更增添此紀錄片的感人元素。
With wonderful heart and an impressive sense of scale, Connected explores the visible and invisible connections linking major issues of our time - the environment, consumption, population growth, technology, human rights, and the global economy - while searching for her place in the world during a transformative time in her life. With humor, curiosity and irony, the SHLAIN family life merges with philosophy to create both a personal portrait and a proposal for ways we can move forward as a civilization. The film proposes that after centuries of declaring independence, it may be time for us to declare our interdependence instead.
