決鬥
Duration 影片長度: 9’23’
Short Film 短片
Based in a fictional town called Longes, the film tells the story of a couple who must, in accordance with the law, fight a duel to the death after ending their relationship.
This short video has been entirely realized in Fabrica, Benetton's Media and Communication Research Centre.
As declared by the director, Fernando Acquarone: "I remember how impressed I was the very first time I walked into Fabrica. Tadao Ando's glass and concrete complex dug in the middle of an Italian countryside villa gave me the feeling I was in a set of a sci-fi film. For years I wanted to shoot a story in that setting and the right opportunity finally came with the arrival of fellow Brazilian writer Bárbara Soalheiro, author of "The Duel".
故事發生在一個叫「隆格斯」的虛構小鎮,短片講述一對夫婦必須依法進行一場生死之鬥以結束他們二人的關係。
合部短片於Fabrica – 貝納頓媒體及傳訊研究所完成。
正如導演Fernando Acquarone所說:「我記得自己第一次走進Fabrica的深刻感覺;安藤忠雄混和玻璃與混凝土的建築創作站立於意大利的鄉郊中,我就像置身於科幻電影之中。多年來我想要在這環境拍攝一部短片,最後我遇上一個巴西的作家Bárbara Soalheiro,她寫下「決鬥」,我知道機會終於來了。」

This short video by Fabrica researcher Sabina Dallu investigates the mysterious workings of the creative process.

Sabina Dallu states that the beauty of creativity lies in the power to overcome the inevitable fear of failure and that there is no such thing as a ‘bad idea’, as those are also part of the process.

Deliberations of Gravity
重力商議
Video Clip 短片
Duration 影片長度: 2’17’
A visual poem about eternal recurrence.
Deliberations on Gravity is a visual poem that explores eternal recurrence, the idea that everything will recur again and again.
Faced with the conundrum of infinite repetition, people have two options: either become disillusioned by the prospects of making the same mistakes without ever changing or seize the opportunity to live affirmatively and control our own fate. If we chose to see the lightness in this concept, we can do whatever we want.
一部關於永恒復迴的視覺詩。
《重力商議》是一首視覺詩曲,當中探討無限迴輪,即是萬物經歷一次又一次的復迴。
面對無限復迴的難題,人們通常有兩個選擇:要麼面對自己重覆犯同一個錯誤而不會改變的未來,又或且是抓緊機會活出自己並控制自己命運。如果我們選擇在這概念中看到光的一面,我們便可以做任何自己想做的事情。
Arepas Maduras
Video Clip 短片
Duration 影片長度: 1’01’
Inspired by the news that two nephews of the wife of Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro were involved in a cocaine trafficking scandal, Fabrica’s Social Campaigns Department created a satirical cooking video.
Arepas Maduras is a recipe of a traditional dish, in this case made of two key ingredients: petroleum and cocaine. With Venezuela’s economy collapsing and the devastating food scarcity, this project brings to light the irony of a country so rich in oil, that petrol costs less than water.
受委內瑞拉總統尼古拉斯馬杜羅的兩個侄子捲入販運可卡因的醜聞所啓發,Fabrica的社運部門製作一段諷刺的烹飪視頻。Arepas Maduras是一道傳統菜色的食譜,在這個情況下主要有兩種材料:石油和可卡因。隨著委內瑞拉的經濟崩壞,加上其毁滅性的糧食短缺問題,這個作品暴露了一個石油如此豐富,甚至是汔油比水少的國家的諷刺情況。
