《未知之地》台北首映
時間： 2018.08.14(二) 19:00
地點： 台北當代藝術中心 （台北市大同區保安街49巷11號1F）
在這部全新且作風大膽的紀錄片中，四位藝術家表達了他們對自殺的看法。他們講述這個不斷出現在生活與作品中的念頭、嘗試理解及克服這股衝動的掙扎，以及對自殺避之不提的正面迎擊。在《未知之地》（LAND OF NOT KNOWING）中充滿具啟發性的坦率，導演 Steve Sanguedolce 以鮮明的視覺回應四位主角思考自殺的故事，罕見地呈現了第一人稱視角的理解，這種理解也是常被誤解的。

In this bold new experimental documentary, four artists talk about suicide: the role the recurring thought has played in their life and art, the struggle to understand and overcome the impulse, and the ongoing confrontation with a form of stigma that renders the very concept of suicide as a kind of pariah. With a frankness that is both bracing and illuminating, Steve Sanguedolce’s four subjects in LAND OF NOT KNOWING tell stories about considering suicide and the filmmaker responds with a striking visual scheme that presents something rarely attempted in the engagement with this most misunderstood of conditions: a sense of first person understanding. – Geoff Pevere
