The Chiney Shop: 1930-1974 

唐铺:1930-1974 

导演:江明月(2011年,26分钟)

Contributions of the Chinese Shopkeeper to Community Building in Jamaica 

华人商店经营者对牙买加社区建设的贡献 

In Jamaica, from the 1930s to the early 1970s, Hakkas -- from the counties of Bao On, Dongguan and Huiyoung -- in Guangdong owned groceries that were located on many busy street corners in downtown Kingston to remote towns in every parish. This documentary explores the complex relationship and social interaction between the Chinese shopkeepers and their Jamaican customers. 

在二十世纪三十年代到七十年代早期的牙买加,来自中国广东的宝安、东莞和惠阳的客家族群,经营的杂货商店遍地开花。无论是首都京斯顿市中心最繁忙的路段,还是偏远乡镇的每个教区的角落,都可以寻觅华人杂货店的踪影。这部纪录片深入探究华人店主和牙买加当地顾客之间的社会交往,和由此产生的复杂社会关系。 

Although the Chinese were an insular group, The Chiney Shop explores the myriad ways, in which this ethnic minority contributed to Jamaican society. Drawing from interviews by members of the Jamaican-Chinese community and prominent Jamaicans from the diaspora and using archival footage and photos, the film attempts to illustrate the deeply-rooted connection between Chinese shopkeepers and Jamaicans not usually portrayed in mainstream media. 

华人在牙买加是一个相对独立的族裔群体,而《唐铺》这部纪录片则从多个层面去探究这个少数族裔对牙买加社会的贡献,通过对牙买加华裔社区成员和杰出移民代表的深入访谈,以及丰富翔实的史料和照片,刻画了华人店铺经营者和当地牙买加人盘根错节的复杂社会关系,而这种关系在牙买加主流媒体当中鲜有提及。

Bad Friday 

糟糕的星期五 

联合执导:Deborah A. Thomas, John L. Jackson, Jr. 和Junior “Gabu” Wedderburn(2011年,63分钟)

Rastafari After Coral Gardens 

珊瑚花园事件之后的拉斯塔法里教派 

For many around the world, Jamaica conjures up images of pristine beach vacations with a pulsating reggae soundtrack. The country, however, also has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the world, and the population is actively grappling with legacies of Western imperialism, racial slavery, and political nationalism – the historical foundations of contemporary violence in Jamaica and throughout the Americas. 

牙买加因其纯净美丽的海滩和节奏强烈的雷鬼音乐,而广为世人所熟识。但除此之外,牙买加还是世界上人均谋杀率最高的国家。长期以来,牙买加人积极地与西方帝国主义、种族奴隶制以及政治民族主义的传统势力争斗——这种争斗,形成了牙买加以及整个美洲当代暴力活动的历史基础。 

Bad Friday focuses on a community of Rastafarians in western Jamaica who annually commemorate the 1963 Coral Gardens “incident,” a moment just after independence when the Jamaican government rounded up, jailed and tortured hundreds of Rastafarians. It chronicles the history of violence in Jamaica through the eyes of its most iconic community, and shows how people use their recollections of past traumas to imagine new possibilities for a collective future. 

纪录片《糟糕的星期五》聚焦1963年的“珊瑚花园事件”。这一事件发生在牙买加独立之后不久,当时在珊瑚花园地区爆发了拉斯塔法里教派与政府的暴力冲突,政府逮捕、监禁和折磨成百上千的拉斯塔法里教派成员。该纪录片采访拍摄了牙买加西部的一个拉斯塔法里教派社团每年举办的关于此事件的纪念活动,透过这个最具标志性的社团的视角,以编年史的形式记录了牙买加的暴乱历史,展现了人们如何通过对过去伤痛历史的追忆,去探寻开创共同美好未来的可能。
