　　伊朗的伊斯兰革命、教宗若望保禄二世访问波兰、邓小平领导下的中国开放、玛格丽特·柴契尔引领英国转而投向新自由主义的怀抱，以及苏联入侵阿富汗，这些只是1979年发生的部分重要事件。四十年来，这些事件的影响比以往任何时候都更加明确：中东持续不断的危机、恐怖势力的扩大、中国迅速崛起成为世界强权、无所不在的英国脱欧问题，以及欧盟在世界上的地位。《1979：改变世界的那一年》将1979年发生的全球政治事件与现今的政治生态连结在一起，造就一部充满张力且鑑古推今的纪录片。

　　电影，一项百年前兴起的新科技，没人料到纪录它的材料——胶卷，会在这个时代濒临绝种，被数位潮流给取代。胶卷，在温度18-22度与溼度55度的环境下尚能生存6、70年，但当它暴露在缺乏恒温恒湿的环境里胶卷随时可能开始发酸，影像随之裂解、溶出，而记载在上面的一切记忆也就无法再被唤醒。
　　台湾有一群人，正参与在这场时间竞赛中，他们隐身于「新加坡工业园区」的片库，这裡一万七千多部的胶卷与百万件的电影文物，成为他们的精神粮食，他们日复一日的在裡头穿梭，带著疑问、带著学习、带著信念。他们在做的，是唤醒这些长年被忽略的胶卷，进而拼凑出那些不复存在的社会氛围和遥远的生活样貌。而这些片库时光，就是电影典藏与胶卷修复者们的日常。

　　通过几位当事人的视角，旁白叙述中动画与资料影像拼接还原出令人揪心的案发经过，它用这种方式使观众能更自然地了解与代入这个发生于50年前的枪击案，其专注于几位当事人关键抉择的悬念塑造，与之后插入的真人采访录像，以及有意忽略凶手的叙事策略，表明影片重点是关于几位普通人的伟大抉择与伤痛回忆。

　　The power of hope in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, and an object lesson in what it really means to be a winner in life.

　　In an intensely personal and often surprising film for BBC Two, Depression And Me, Alastair Campbell explores if radical new treatments can stop his depression.
　　Campbell is best known for his role as Tony Blair’s formidable and often contentious spin doctor but, away from the public eye, he has been dogged by crippling bouts of depression for most of his life. Some days, just getting out of bed is too hard. Therapy and anti-depressant medication is helping him keep his head above water - but is that really the best he can hope for?
　　Alastair Campbell says: “I’ve been on antidepressants for years and years and none of them can stop it. I want to understand my depression and find out if modern science has any better ways of treating it. I’m hoping there’s something out there that can help me lead a happier life.
　　“I feel we are nearing a tipping point in the battle to demolish the stigma and taboo surrounding mental illness and TV is a very good medium for bringing these issues right out into the open. I have never regretted being open about my own issues but an important part of this film is also seeing my depression through the eyes of members of my family, especially my partner Fiona. I was also keen to get out there and find out what kind of progress was being made on the scientific and research front. There is a lot going on. My worry is that we are winning the battle for better awareness but losing the battle for the services we need.
　　"I was very pleased with the reaction to the film in Sheffield [at Doc/Fest]. One film alone cannot change the world but there is finally the focus on these issues that we need and hopefully one day we will have services to match.”
