〈天堂語言〉(60分鐘,台/美,2013)是張文馨最新的作品,

場景設定在台灣和夏威夷,也就是南島語族使用其語言的 地點。

這部實驗性紀錄片關注的重點在於年輕一代的原住民,

以及他們在學習祖先所流傳下來、卻即將失傳的族語所面臨的疑問、

渴望及挑戰。

四 個擁有不同背景的年輕原住民女性利用數位影像作為拍攝的主要媒介

她們一同合作並互相交流,討論語言在身分認同及文化上的影響。

全球百分 之96的人口只使用了百分之4的語言,

在 這個語言近趨同化的時代以你的母語與他人進行溝通意謂著什麼呢

〈天堂語言〉中有一片段呈現新銳製片陳安琪、

Leivallyn Kainoa Kaupu、 Monica Hau'oli Waiau 和

余欣蘭參與了獨立製片者張文馨主持的製片工作坊。

在經過了工作坊 的激盪後,她們拿著相機,反問自己,

也訪問她們的家人及朋友,其中一個問題是:當你失去了母語,

你將會同時失去什麼?在影片最後, 

影片參與者在夏威夷 的工作坊裡見面了,

她們分享了自己所拍攝的鏡頭、

對於語言復興和最終目標—強化自身與族語的連結的見解。

Tongues of Heaven (60 mins., Taiwan/US, 2013) is the latest film by Anita Wen-Shin Chang.

Set in Taiwan and Hawai'i, territories where languages of the Austronesian family are spoken,

 this experimental documentary focuses on the questions, desires and challenges of

young indigenous peoples to learn the languages of their forebears—

languages that are endangered or facing extinction.

Using digital video as the primary medium of expression,

four young indigenous women from divergent backgrounds together collaborate and

exchange ideas to consider the impact of language on identity and culture.

With 96% of the world’s population speaking only 4% of the world’s languages,

what does it mean to speak your mother tongue in this age of language homogenization?

As part of the production process, emerging filmmakers An-Chi Chen,

Leivallyn Kainoa Kaupu, Monica Hau'oli Waiau and Shin-Lan Yu participated in intensive videomaking workshops

with independent filmmaker Anita Chang. After the workshop exercises, the women,

with camera in hand, ask themselves, their families and peers questions—one of which is,

“What do you lose when you lose your native language?” During a culminating workshop,

collaborators met in Hawai'i to share their footage, insights, and concerns regarding the challenges

of revitalizing their languages and ultimately their own relationship to their heritage languages. A
