　　James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career; the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?

　　2018年5月和6月，Jean Gabriel P_Riot与位于Ivry Sur Seine的一所高中的10名电影班学生合作，开展了一项将电影与政治结合起来的项目。学生们在摄像机前和摄像机后工作，重新布置罢工、抵抗和劳资纠纷的场景，这些电影可以追溯到20世纪60年代末到70年代末，包括让-卢克-戈达尔和阿兰-坦纳的电影。nos d_faites汇集了调查结果，并增加了采访，在采访中，导演询问学生他们刚刚表演的场景，关于“阶级”、“工会”和“政治参与”等概念，以及更广泛的社会背景。这是一个简单，但尖锐的设置，让观众一瞥年轻一代如何看待政治和过去的政治电影。这部影片还记录了导演试图激怒学生的企图。在导演和学生似乎处于平等地位的遭遇中，基于从未见过的导演更多类似于老师的提问，以及此时此刻对革命的思考：起义的表现反映了同样的情况。这会导致一个真实的发生吗？
　　In May and June 2018, Jean-Gabriel Périot collaborated with ten students in a film class at a high school in Ivry-sur-Seine on a project that unites cinema with politics. The students worked both in front of and behind the camera, restaging scenes of strikes, resistance, and labour disputes from films dating from the late 1960s to the late 1970s, including ones by Jean-Luc Godard and Alain Tanner. Nos défaites assembles the results, and adds interviews in which the director queries the students about the scenes they’ve just acted in, about such concepts as “class,” “labour union,” and “political engagement,” about wider social contexts. It’s a simple, yet trenchant setup, affording viewers a glimpse of how a younger generation sees politics and the political cinema of the past. The film also documents the director’s attempts to stir up the students. The conversations vary between encounters in which director and students seem on an equal footing, based on more teacher-like questioning by the never-visible director, and contemplations of revolution in the here and now: the performance of an uprising follows reflection upon the same. Could this lead to one happening for real?
　　回到1968年的电影时代，继续对重放从过去跳出来的电影节选的年轻人进行今天的采访，我们的失败描绘了我们当前与政治的关系。我们的失败，还是我们有足够的力量来面对今天的混乱？
　　By going back into the cinema of the 1968 era and going forward with present-day interviews of young people who replay excerpts of film s jumping out from the past, Our Defeats draw the portrait of our current relations with politics. Our Defeats, or do we keep enough forces to confront ourselves with the chaos of today?

《公園》 — 兩位印尼詩人相約在夜裡的台南公園會面，各自將白天在這座公園裡，與印尼同胞們的相遇、相處等所見所聞所感，譜成詩歌，發想成計畫，於夜裡吟唱、想像、行動⋯⋯。白日採集，夜裡釋放，像一則古老的影像寓言，但我們始終見不到他們所說的白日種種，只能任夜裡的話語，投射出面貌不一的形象。漫漫長夜有訴不盡的故事，說故事的人也變成了故事的一部分。
