凱特·布蘭切特 | 2020年威尼斯電影節(jié)開(kāi)幕致辭

To be gathering here with you all tonight seems like some kind of wondrous miracle, and film itself can be miraculous. It's transforming reality and illuminating the way we perceive reality, healing personal and social wounds and great artistic vision brought to bear on the here and now.

今晚能與諸位相聚在此，就像一個(gè)美妙的奇跡，而電影本身也是奇跡。電影正改變現(xiàn)實(shí)，著涼我們認(rèn)知現(xiàn)實(shí)的方式，治愈個(gè)人和社會(huì)的創(chuàng)傷，在此時(shí)此刻帶來(lái)美妙的藝術(shù)視角。

We all know the infamous story of the first movie going audiences, cowering and running from the theater in terror, on seeing the Lumiere brothers oncoming train. And I think this story speaks to the awesome and strange power of the moving image.

我們都知道那個(gè)“聲名遠(yuǎn)播”的故事，當(dāng)?shù)谝慌娪坝^眾看到盧米埃爾兄弟行駛火車而來(lái)時(shí)，在驚恐中閃躲和逃離了影院。我認(rèn)為這個(gè)故事體現(xiàn)了動(dòng)態(tài)圖像神奇又怪異的力量。

And over the last few months, several months seems like years in our isolated bubbles, we've been sustained by streaming images, and stories into our living rooms. But I think there's been a vital component that's been missing and that's back here tonight. It's strangers gathering in the dark in anticipation of a collective experience, an event.

在過(guò)去的幾個(gè)月里，度日如年的幾個(gè)月里，在各自隔絕的空間里，我們的生活充滿了流媒體圖像和起居室里的各種故事。但我覺(jué)得有一個(gè)重要的部分缺失了，而它在今晚重現(xiàn)。即一群陌生人聚集在黑暗中，期待著一場(chǎng)集體性的經(jīng)歷或盛事。

Now I don't know about you, but there's not a lot of genuine event in my living room. My daughter's sneakers being eaten by the dog perhaps. But cinema, it comes alive when it's an event, it's turbocharged, and in a miraculous way when it claims event.

我不了解在做的各位，但我的起居室確實(shí)沒(méi)有太多可說(shuō)的事，我女兒的球鞋被狗狗吃掉了，這或許算一件。但當(dāng)電影成為一件盛事，它便有了生命力，當(dāng)它成為盛事，便奇跡般地充滿了能量。

Now bigger films, so called bigger films, they have an understandable or recognizable sense of an event, and they often monopolize or dominate our screens through, you know, marvelously inventive plot twists, or you know, computer generated wonderment.

如今所謂的大片，對(duì)故事有著精準(zhǔn)而鮮明的認(rèn)知，它們要么通過(guò)別出心裁，迂回曲折的情節(jié)或者電腦制作的恢弘場(chǎng)面壟斷，統(tǒng)治者我們的熒幕。

But I think that film festivals can create an equally important sense of an event. They can scaffold and generate a space where film past can be in dialogue, not only with its present, but with its future. And established film artists can be in dialogue with emergent artists.

然而我認(rèn)為電影節(jié)可以創(chuàng)造同等重要的故事感，它們可以搭建產(chǎn)生一個(gè)空間。在這個(gè)空間里，電影的歷史不僅可以和它的現(xiàn)狀，更能與它的未來(lái)對(duì)話；成熟的電影藝術(shù)家也可以與新晉藝術(shù)家對(duì)話。

And in Venice, for instance, over the next two miraculous weeks, the main competition will be in dialogue with new horizons, film festivals forge not only new relationships and ideas, but they forge to new audiences.

比如在威尼斯，在接下來(lái)兩個(gè)精彩的星期里，主賽單位將于新視角展開(kāi)對(duì)話，電影節(jié)不僅會(huì)建立新的關(guān)系，開(kāi)拓新的思路，同時(shí)也會(huì)吸納新的觀眾。

But each iteration of a truly alive festival must be in response to its environs, so I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Alberto Barbera and the entire festival team, for making one such festival lineup and making it in exceptional circumstances.

但一個(gè)有活力的電影節(jié)，無(wú)論哪個(gè)層次都要與時(shí)代背景相呼應(yīng)。所以我希望借此機(jī)會(huì)向阿爾貝托·巴貝拉以及整個(gè)電影節(jié)團(tuán)隊(duì)公開(kāi)表達(dá)我的謝意。感謝在這個(gè)特殊時(shí)期仍然創(chuàng)造了如此一個(gè)慶典陣容。

I can only imagine how many Zoom calls you've had to endure. You've made this festival not only in response to our life and times, but in the thick of our life and times.

可想而知你們?yōu)榇巳淌芰硕嗌賯€(gè)Zoom會(huì)議，你們展辦這場(chǎng)電影節(jié)不僅回應(yīng)了我們的生活與時(shí)代，更為它們?cè)黾恿撕穸取?/span>

And as a result I think we have a lineup across all competitions and screenings and gatherings that give rise to and voice to certain voices that may not ordinarily have surfaced in a festival such as this.

所以最終我們通過(guò)所有的競(jìng)賽，放映以及集會(huì)連接起來(lái)一個(gè)陣容，為那些或許從未在像這樣的電影節(jié)出現(xiàn)的聲音喝彩歡呼。

And the way is uncertain, but one thing's for sure that tonight is a beginning. And I for one feel deeply privileged to be spending the next two weeks with the wonderful members fellow members of the my jury, and the members of other juries equally wonderful, and with filmmakers and perhaps most eventfully with audiences, reflecting back and looking forward. 

未來(lái)是無(wú)法預(yù)知的，但有一件事是明確的：今晚是一個(gè)開(kāi)端。我感到非常地榮幸，在接下來(lái)的兩周能與優(yōu)秀的陪審團(tuán)的成員們，以及其他同樣優(yōu)秀的評(píng)審人員，還有電影制作者，以及最重要的觀眾們一起反思過(guò)去，期待未來(lái)！
